Maybe normal for you: Missing periods - amenorrhea - can be "normal" for some. Not everyone has a period every 28 days and, for some, that is "their normal." there is a condition called pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that is associated with obesity and can lead to amenorrhea or irregular periods. It may be a good idea to see your doctor to make sure everything is normal. They may want to get an ultrasound and labs.
