I have petechiae on my feet and I am slightly overweight ..I don't have acne or facial hair so I don't think it is pcos ..I was diagnosed with a cyst that popped on it own in December ..I have no idea what to do my Dr never spends more then 5 minutes with me I feel totally disgusted with myself for being overweight and missing my periods ..any natural ways of regulating my period and what I should get tested for

Have you had hormone levels checked?
Any chance you are pregnant?
Well,
it is not uncommon for teens to still experience missed periods.
Also PCOS does not always cause facial hair but can contribute to being overweight.
Being overweight can also affect your hormone balances.
As to being overweight, I am quite overweight wanting to lose 50 to 100 more pounds and have lost over 140 to date.
I am nearly 4 times your age and have had hormonal issues all my life to date.
Get your levels checked.
At what age did you begin having periods?
If under 5 years ago, then missing some is not uncommon.
Have you been dieting or under stress?
Are you anemic?

I haven't had my hormone levels tested yet I have so many tests in mind . I don't think there is a possibility that i'm pregnant at all .. I can usually tell when i'm ovulating but everything has been so wacked out .. I over eat and not just on junk food but healthy foods too lol .. I actually started getting my period at 9! I wasn't overweight then just developed early my periods were normal up until about april this year . I'm under a lot of stress my mother has issues around this age she was told she'd never have children but a lot has changed since the 70's , there may be a possibility of an imbalance most likely I get anxiety and panic attacks have been overly sensitive for as long as I can remember..Thanks Lexx <3

Extreme stress can stop the periods by messing with the Adrenals.From all you have written about your life, that may fit.

Saraintheski
You're welcome!
Yes,
stress could be the problem.
I started periods at age 9 also.
But get your levels checked anyhow.
Also it never hurts to get the CA125 blood test done which is a screening for ovarian cancer.
I hope you find out what the problem is and that it is totally fixable!

if ur not comf. with your doctor get another one.. its very common for periods to become irregular so you shouldnt worry.. i suggest getting your thyroid checked ASAP! the main symptoms of Hypothyroidism is gaining weight and irregular periods.. but dont worry its a very managable condition!

and im sure you know better, but counting is not enough use proper protection..
