Haven't had a period since before Christmas...possible causes?
Let me preface with I know I'm not pregnant, we haven't had sex in over 6 months (a whole other story entirely, but not for this post) and I will be seeing a gyno in a couple of days. Of course when I ask the doc about possibilities, she won't make any guesses without seeing me and I totally understand that so I'm just looking for opinions to kill time till I actually see her.
I'm going with peri-menopause (I'm going to be 45 in May).
Re: Haven't had a period since before Christmas...possible causes?
Thyroid issues.
Extreme weight loss.
Pituitary problem.

But don't just accept that without proof.
I entered menopause at 39. Periods stopped cold and I got full blown menopause symptoms (hot flashes are a b!tch). I went to my doctor and blood tests revealed that my thyroid was wacky. We also found that I had a tumor on my pituitary gland, but two prescriptions later, I am still bleeding.
What made me irate was a conversation I had with a neurosurgeon about my tumor. He asked how we found it and I mentioned that my periods had stopped when I was 39. He nodded and said that if I had been 40, they would have just chalked it off to menopause and not bothered looking.
I was pissed at the whole medical profession for a while after that meeting.
