Amenorrhea, but why?

Hi Lara!
I've been trying to get to the bottom of my period issues since puberty and I'm 25 now. I got my first period which was so light and irregular at 17 and was almost immediately put on the pill to "regulate". I was off and on birth control until about 4 months ago when I decided to say goodbye for good. Every time I've been off of it which has never been for more than 6 months, I never got periods.
This, on top of a whole slew of other symptoms recently including fatigue, anxiety, occasional (but awful) abdominal pains and bloating (like...bad
) have left me so confused. I've taken two hormone tests over the years and the only abnormality was a slightly high free testosterone once, but not out of normal range.
What's going on!!
