Cassandra, Please know there is NOTHING wrong with having irregular periods. It can be very common. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Simple hormone therapy can usually fix it. Tell your aunt your concerns about her violations of doctor-patient confidentiality. Tell your parents you want another doctor.

Secondly, small breasts do not constitute an abnormality! That's your body shape - love and appreciate it no matter its shape. Don't get caught up in the mindset of a "perfect body". Small breasts are perfectly normal. I am very small-chested & nursed three babies for over 6 years with no supplementation. You are only 15, give yourself time.

Watch these extreme diets, especially now, you are still growing. The body needs a balanced diet. If you give up carbs and only eat protein, you set yourself up for heart disease unless you are very careful about the proteins you eat. Enjoy your food, get your body moving everyday (whether just walking instead of driving, running or gym workouts), stay away from sugared sodas & drink lots of water. You will establish a healthy lifestyle that will carry you throughout your whole life.

>>I am a 15 year old girl and am very worried about my menustration cycle that seems to be quite abnormal this year. I got my first period when i was 13 and have had a regular one month cycle until i started a high-protein and low-carb diet, which i tried for about 5-6 months. It worked well and i lost a lot of weight but during those months my period did not come, for about 4 months. I got scared and immediately went off the diet and my periods came regularly again for about 4-5 months. Now, eventhough i have regular and healthy eating patterns, and am very sure that i am getting the right nutrition and in good amounts, my period has stopped coming again for about 5-6 months. I have not ever been involved sexually with anyone so i am positive that i am not pregnant. I am very worried about this abnormality because my breasts are hardly developed eventhough i am very tall and have great hips and a nice figure.

--
I have not cut out carbs from my diet this whole year and my periods only returned
for a while. Please help me on this, and if you can give me some info on the
causes and cures for this i would be delighted. I am embarassed to talk to my
doctor because she is my aunty and is not a very secretive person.
I am sorry to bother you with this but i am very very worried.
Thank you for your co-operation. God Bless.
