Regular cycles mean that the ovaries are working normally. Ovaries produce estrogen. The main estrogen that our bodies produce is Estradiol. Yes, even for men.
When to get a check up?
1. Menses absent for 90 days.
2. Menses not started by 15.
3. No sign of puberty by 13.
4. Menses not started within 3 years of breast development.
So I missed three periods what can that mean? The fancy name is secondary amenorrhea. That means that your periods have stopped. Most stop for 4 reasons: High levels of prolactin, low thyroid, low estrogen because of the ovary, and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS.
High prolactin, low thyroid, and ovary problems lead to low estradiol. The average normal level of estradiol is 100 pg/mL.
