Question:
Actually i would like to ask a question regarding something a friend told me about.The girl i'm talking about had her first period when she was 17 years-old,and until the age of 22 everything was normal;However since then(age of 22)she hasn't been sick( monthly period). What i find strange is that she got married and now she 8 month pregnant. I know now that this can happen, but I'd really like to know the right explanation for that case. Thank you

There are many reasons why monthly menstrual cycles can stop and then rebegin. Some of the reasons have to do with the functioning of the thyroid gland and with a woman's body weight. Without knowing more about this particular case, I can't really comment on your question.
