I am 17 years old and I havent had a period in over a year. I am not nor have ever been sexually active, and am still a virgin. I also have been experiencing a little facial hair that seems abnormal. seeing as I have never been to the female doctor, I havent been told of anything and cant afford to go without insurance. I just want some insight from anyone who is or has experienced what I am going through. My biggest fear is not being able to have children in the future. I hope to fix this so that I am able to do so.

Hi Riah,

You're experiencing amenorrhea, absence of your period.  It may be a hormonal issue.  The facial hair that you notice is another clue.

I can understand that you don't have insurance but you should see your doctor.  It is important to identify the cause.  

Polycystic Ovary Syndome, PCOS, can be a possible cause.  If so, you do want to see your doctor ASAP.  It can cause ovarian cysts and lead to other issues.

Good luck.
