Periods have stopped

I’ve had no period for the last 3 months. Not pregnant - done multiple tests.
I am always tired - so so tired. I put this down to being a mum but I do get a good amount of sleep and can’t seem to find a reason why I would feel this fatigued.
Has anyone had experience of their periods just disappearing?
I eat around 2200 calories a day, I am 5’4 and 9 stone. I workout 4 times a week so I’m eating enough and am not overly active - just do a healthy amount of exercise which is usually strength training and weight lifting.

I’m experiencing anxiety and convincing myself it’s something sinister! I have never missed a period in my life except when I was pregnant with my daughter of course.
My cycle is usually 28 days like clockwork, this is totally out of the blue.
Noticeably today I have been feeling a burning sensation in my lower back which is more annoying than actually painful.
I am 28 so surely it’s not menopause related!
Can anyone offer any advice or experience with this?

Problems with the thyroid gland can lead to such things happening.
I would speak with your GP to get a blood test done to check your thyroid gland levels.

thyroiduk.org/ is also an informative website.

see a GP. I was reading a book by Dr Louise newson on the menopause recently. .she states a women is never to young for menopause. of course it's unusual at your age.

Thank you both for your help.
It’s such an odd feeling for this to just happen so out of the blue so I’m feeling rather confused and worried.
I am experiencing occasionally cramps and hot flashes like I would in my luteal phase of my cycle but it just never arrives!
Thanks for the link I’ll take a look

Yes I am having similar to this, have you had a COVID jab?

I am almost a year postpartum.
I generally was fine, little bit tired but my usual energy was returning, until I had my 2nd COVID jab. (Haven't had COVID to my knowledge, test regularly) 2nd jab was in July and since then I am consistently getting hot flushes daily, bad headache almost like a migraine and feels like pressure in my head right before my period, bad mood swings (before generally chill) and now I am 43 days since my last period and I am not pregnant. Get a full headache some days and neck pain sometimes!
I am ALWAYS tired!! I ache more than usual on and off for no reason. I have had blood tests run and all come back fine!
I just want to feel my normal self again!
I welcome any advice too! Confused
