Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The absence of periods in your case are due to increased levels of prolactin due to the pituitory tumor. This is not due to pregnancy. You can confirm it by getting a urine test done using a highly sensitive test kit with an early morning sample of urine.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
