I'm 18. i havent had my period in 6 months. i've heard of this happening alot in girls my age and they end up being infertile.could that be happening?

No correlation : There is no correlation to missing periods as a teenager and infertility. It is very common for young women to miss periods due to an immature hormonal system( it has to do with the brain producing LH and FSH). See your doctor who can regulate your periods, and/ or discuss this further with you
