I am 18 years old and have been taking birth control pills since I was 15 to help battle a hormone imbalance. I have a history of ovarian cysts. For the past 3 months I haven't gotten my period. 4 months ago I was taken off the birth control and last month I was put back on. Around the time I should be getting my period I feel really sick (upset stomach, headaches and cramps) but I don't ever actually bleed. If I do, it's at the tailend of my period and black, but only very light, little more than spotting. My period isn't due for another few days, but I'm scared that it won't come again. What is causing these missed periods? Also, I have a lump near my clitoris that resembles a pimple and is sore if I touch that area. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome!

I suggest you make an appointment with your doctor. Is he/she aware that's it's been 3 months? I'd also get that lump looked at.

I wish I could offer you more but this is something that a professional needs to take care of.

Good luck!

Kristin
