This happened to me in high school. The gynecologist told me "this happens to girls your age".

Yes, mine stopped for a year and I had to see my GYN to prescribe medications to initiate a period and then brith control to continue periods

I had the opposite problem. I would have my periods for 3 or 4 months at a time. super painful. They put me on 10 day hormone cycles for a while, then made me go on an iron based birth control because I was anemic.

i didn’t stop altogether but i might as well have, like i was skipping 3 months at a time and they were super light. i was told it was just hormones and i would eventually grow out of it 😐
