What should i do if i haven't gotten my period, but don't want to take a pregnancy test because i don't think i'm pregnant?? what else could cause this? being overweight?

Hormonal imbalance: If you did not have sex since your last period, you do not need to take a pregnancy test. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
