I need help!!!!

So I haven't had my period in god knows how long, prob about 3/4 months..? And I finger myself sometimes due to horniness...and I heard being Sexually active stops ur period sometimes. So does fingering myself make me Sexually active, or a virgin....? Serious answers please!!

Have you recently started menstruating? If so, it does take a while before your body settles into a regular cycle. Are you very physically active? That will also influence how regular your cycle is. Are you eating enough? I skipped my period for months every time I lost too much weight. Finally, are you stressed out right now?

I have to admit, I've never heard that being sexually active stops your period, aside from pregnancy. So I guess that self-pleasuring shouldn't prevent you from getting your period.

If you are really concerned, is it possible to see a doctor? There are also great references--you can always look at Web MD, or books such as Our Bodies, Our Selves.

Take care.
