Hi I'm 16 years old and I haven't gotten my period in 7 months..not even spotting. I got my first period when I was 14 and I got it irregularly but more often for one and a half years (sometimes it'd be every month, sometimes 2 or 3...most ever being 4).The doctor said it was just because I'm athletic (when it was every 2 to 3) but I would always get it when I went on vacation or took a few days off extreme exercise. When not vacationing or taking a break, I swim, dance, and run normally around 1 to 4 hours a day. However in the past 7 months I have taken multiple breaks from exercise (including a two week long vacation without extreme exercise) and I still did not get it. I'm afraid something's wrong with my body besides the fact that I'm Clive and they're irregular. Also my mom has thyroid issues and my sister hasn't had her period for two years..not sure if that means anything..Please help!

Heavy exercise can delay your periods.
Still, I would suggest you see an endocrinologist. These are doctors that specialize in hormones. While the lack of periods may be caused by something "normal" you should have these values checked, just to rule out a problem.
Good luck.
