WebMD gives the following list of possible causes for a missed period:

quote:

---

anxiety over pregnancy may cause a missed period, thereby increasing the anxiety even further
drastic weight reduction
vigorous athletics
obesity
emotional distress
endocrine disorder
drugs such as busulfan, chlorambucil, cyclophosphamide, oral contraceptives, phenothiazines, and non-oral contraceptives (such as Norplant and Depo-Provera)

They also note that it's not uncommon for adolescent women to skip periods or have them stop. With regard to treatment, they say:

quote:

---

Treatment depends on the cause. Consult your health care provider to help determine the cause. For a missed period caused by drastic weight loss or obesity, proper diet is recommended. For a missed period resulting from excessive exercise, use moderation and cut back to a more conservative program.

So, the best advice I can give you is to relax, not stress about it, and just wait for it to show up if you don't want to go to the doctor about it. I have had my period on a vacation, at the beach, and to be honest, while it was a pain, it did not ruin my life, although I can sympathize with wanting to get the darned thing over with once a month.

Thank you.
