And just to be safe I would suggest talking to your doctor.

I assume it's because i'm slightly unerweight. Sorry if i didn't make that clear. I have regular check ups with a psychiatrist and doctor but not sure if i want to tell them.

It's nothing to be ashamed of. If you've ever noticed when you go to the doctor for checkups they tend to ask you if your period is regular, it's something they need to know.

And I don't know how much underweight you're talking. I know someone who is/was anorexic, and she didn't have her period for quite some time because of the weight loss, and her organs began shutting down, but that's a more extreme case.

Get it looked at, though.

I'm not seriously underweight. I'm not embaressed to tell my doctor but i don't want to have to attend a unit for eating disorders. And they could make me if i tell them. I just want to know if it can cause problems conceving in the future.

if you actually have an eating disorder, and you arent that underweight, then they wont send you to a clenic. they only do that in extreme situations where the person is going to starve to death or something.

you talk too much

---

that's not slightly underweight. That is seriously underweight. Your body has stopped ovulating because you have so little fat that you couldn't keep a baby warm/nutritioned. If it's been more than 3 periods, you're medically anorexic. You can have weakened bone structure due to this, which will make it harder for you to concieve later in life, and can also lead to osteoporosis. Also it puts you at higher risk for miscarriages and premature birth. You can also develop heart problems from  being severely underweight. If you want to learn more, gopggle is just full of information like http://www.anred.com/toc.html . And if you just want to talk, I can do that too.

If you have private healthcare in England and you're bmi is less than 17.5, you have stopped mensturating and you already see a pschiatrist chances are they will make you got to a clinic atleast as an out-patient. I really don'y want to risk that.

It can be caused by a number of things including:
