Please see a medical provider. You doctor will do ultrasound to rule out cyst and do hormone labs to see ovarian function [ estradiol, LH, FSH and AMH ] Thyroid and prolactin levels.
Sounds like you should stop fasting and eat something. Fasting for small amounts of time can be okay - but you can get too skinny and stop ovulating. There are many reasons why a women might have a delayed period or none at all. Make an appointment with your OBGYN and take care.
Hello,
So, I'm not sure what fasting has to do with anything, however, it is not unusual for women to be late with their periods now and then. It is probably the most common reason that women visit their OB/GYN. Typically, it is not unusual and there is nothing wrong. If it continues to happen, you could consider the birth control pill, which would make you more regular.
