i have not had my period for about two years already this has never happend before. after after givinh birth I started taking the pill, then stopped and started using IUD Myrena. i had it removed due to constant cramping and no menstrual cycle. It was removed on april, I still havent had my period. i already got checked for thyroid problems but everything seems okay. Im starting to worry could this be something serious? can i still get pregnant?
Mona,

It's very unusual for a healthy woman to stop having periods for such a long period. Go back to your gyn/ob and have a full checkup. This really needs to be evaluated.

It is unlikely that you could get pregnant without having a period. The lining of the uterus needs to be able to "host" the embryo. Your period is when the "old" layer is replaced with a new layer. Depending on the condition of the lining, and if you ovulate, determines if you can conceive again.

Good luck.
