ABSENT MENSTRUAL PERIODS

The time between menstrual periods varies between women but, once established, periods usually occur regularly every 3 to 5 weeks. Pregnancy or menopause are the most common causes of absent menstruation. Stress or loss of weight may also cause menstruation to stop or occur less often. Consult your doctor if your menstrual periods stops unexpectedly.

WARNING: Possible Pregnancy - Any sexually active woman who misses a menstrual period should consider the possibility that she might be pregnant, even if contraceptive measures have been taken during sexual intercourse.
In the years leading up to menopause, menstrual periods become erratic. Ovulation may still occur until menstruation has stopped completely for atleast 6 months. It is, therefore, possible for a woman to become pregnant while going through menopause. If you think you might be pregnant, check using HOME PREGNANCY TEST.
