   Updated: 4/11/2007 5:48 pm Amenorrhea refers to a condition
in which women don't have a period for a long time. This could
be good news for most women except those trying to conceive.
There are two types of amenorrhea: primary and secondary.
Primary occurs when a woman has gone without having a period her
whole life. Secondary is when a woman has had periods before but
doesn't anymore. If you're not having a period, you're probably
not ovulating, or releasing an egg ready for fertilization. This
means you probably have little or no chance of becoming
pregnant. You're considered to have secondary amenorrhea if you
haven't had periods for six months after having regular periods.
The most common cause of amenorrhea is pregnancy, so it might be
a good idea to check with a doctor for more information if
you're not having periods. Inergize Digital This site is hosted
