I have congenital adrenal hyperplasia and I haven’t had a period in 6 months. There is no chance I could be pregnant and all periods have all been very irregular since I first had my period at 16. I am now 21. Do you think I should visit a doctor or anyone may know what it may be?

🤔It could be symptomatic of your specific type of CAH, but for peace of mind ask your GP.
Nonclassic CAH
Often there are no symptoms of nonclassic CAH when a baby is born. The condition is not identified on routine infant blood screening and usually becomes evident in late childhood or early adulthood. Cortisol may be the only hormone that's deficient.
Teenage and adult females who have nonclassic CAH may have normal appearing genitals at birth, but later in life, they may experience:
Irregular or absent menstrual periods
Masculine characteristics such as facial hair, excessive body hair and a deepening voice
Severe acne
