Q: my girlfriend has amenorrhea . she has never had a period. she's 24 . does this mean she can't get pregnant?

: A woman who has never had menses by 15 or older may not have all the parts. There are rare birth defects where this occurs. A simple ultrasound of the pelvis may be a good first study to evaluate the process. If she hasn't ever had menses, there is a chance she is sterile for one of several reasons.
