Period or No Period

"Oh, I missed my period. I must be pregnant." This statement has been falsely stated so many times. But really, how sure are you? Just because you have missed a period or two doesn't mean that you are pregnant. Birth control pills, hormonal injections, breastfeeding, low body weight, fast weight loss, certain medications, menopause, stress, and even obesity can cause you to have an abnormal menstrual cycle. It's better to know than to just guess. So if you are missing periods, you should go get tested.
