Tell me, where the hell is my period?! Understanding Amenorrhoea

Periods disappearing can leave you thinking, “Is this normal? Should I be worried?” And paraphrasing the words of Raye “Where the hell has it gone?” There’s a lot of confusion around not having periods, particularly when contraception, stress, exercise and life in general can all muddy the waters.

In this episode, we’re talking amenorrhoea: when periods stop, or never start in the first place. Because sometimes a missing period is just that, but sometimes it’s your body waving a little flag that something else needs attention. And it can have implications far beyond whether you’re bleeding each month.

There are a lot of things we’ve been told about periods that simply aren’t true, so we’re getting into some of the questions you might have wondered about yourself. Do you actually need a period every month? Can you get pregnant without one? And when should you really be concerned? Have a listen and let’s talk about it.
