I have been under a lot of stress at home and at school recently and i haven't had a period since november, i had lost a little weight but i have put it back on again, im taking multivitamins and i know i cannot be pregnant as my boyfriend and i have always been very careful
what else could this be?
im very worried any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi, this can happen from time to time- there is really nothing to worry about. As you have ruled pregnancy out (which is statistically the number one cause for missed periods), it is unlikely to be anything to worry about. Stress and changes in weight are common reasons for Amenorrhoea (absent periods.)
I remember missing periods in the past (specially during my exams) try not to worry, they will return soon. If still no change after 4-6 months, see your GP.Missing Period...any female or doctors advice would be appreaciated?
As Rhianna says stress is a common cause of a missed period and the problem is dealing with the stress, rather than worrying about the missed period.
It is generally accepted by the medical fraternity that multivitamins are pretty much a waste of time in the UK and contribute nothing to improving either health or well being.
Its unlikely that your problem represents any form of pathology so I would try and relax and ignore it, Missing periods only really become an issue if you WANT to get pregnant.
Its most likley due to your stress, your weight loss may have contributed too though, because your body has lost weight it does not want to waste blood so stops your period.
Take some time to relax, speak to someone and keep healthy and hopefully they should come back, if they still do not return speak to your GP :)
I lost mine last year from stress for almost 6 months! I also lost weight from paranoia from thinking I was stalked. I was always in fight or flight mode and always looking behind my back! Once i got over it though my period recovered!
I also lost it once from a soy vitamin supplement that I was taking so I started using regular pill vitamins and I got it back after too. Too much soy can screw up your cycle.
Stress is the most likely cause, i often skip the odd month when i am stressed, i once missed for a whole 6months in a row, but i came ok again,so try not to worry to much or you'll be more stressed, making the situation worse through worrying! drinking to many caffeine drinks can also cause this so try to cut down! good luck.
If you are sexually active... i would take a pregnancy test. It is very possible you could be pregnant. you can spot and be a couple weeks late and be normal but not 3 months. I am assuming you are pregnant.
Have you taken a pregnancy test because you can't really be sure your not pregnant unless you've taken one
Its totally normal When i was 17 i missed my period for almost 10 months... i wasnt pregnant. Just stressed and skinny.
It'll work itself out.
I think it would be a good idea to go and talk to your GP and seek his/her advice ~
