Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Primary amenorrhea is declared when age increases more than 16 years. the most common cause in that case in otherwise normal girls is constutional delay.
If your age is more than 16 years you need workup. Transvaginal sonography, thyroid function tests, FSH/LH.
Hope it helps best.
Take your best care.
