I did not get my periods for two months. I have enlarged and sore breasts, bloated abdomen, pain in upper back, lower abdominal cramping and inner thigh pain. My bloodtest was negative. What should I do?
Hormone: No period for 2 months in a person your age is usually pregnancy until proven otherwise. Once you have confirmed a negative pregnancy test, you will need an exam to really assess the symptoms. Your doctor will look for possible ovarian cyst, or other probable hormonal imbalance that might easily be remedied. By the way, any new food or supplements?
