Nope.   But the condition is not un-known.  Have you looked at the 'daisy web-site' mentioned on here, though I believe you have to pay for information  >:(.

How old are you?

The only condition I know of when a female never has a natural period is Turners Syndrome,

Have you had children ?x

Was tested for that one, it's a few conditions, hypogonadism hypo something, primary amenhhorea.  Sorry the spelling is off!  I believe anyways.  Something in my DNA that I was born with.  No, I can't have kids unfortunately.

How do you feel over-all?  Is there anyone else in your family with similar, or who had difficulty conceiving? 

I am SO nosy  :-\

No one ever asks so I kinda like it 😀
Nope, it's very rare just a one off.  I've never met or heard of anyone in my situation.
Well I don't know any different but with a change in meds to femoston last year I noticed side effects I've never had since I started medication at 27. 
Now I feel crap, fatigue, headaches, nausea, etc which I've never had.  Had to change to hrt to help with my osteopenia but I have stopped it wasn't worth it.

Certainly isn't worth feeling worse!  Maybe have a chat with your local Pharamacist, most have private rooms these days.  Then let us know.

Hi! Is your general health good? Sorry to have to deal with it so young! Are you diagnosed with Turner's syndrome? Maybe it's not a good idea to stop your medication, it's better I think to find something to suits you. :)

There are tests but generally turners has physical attributes that I don't have. 

Most obvious being short stature.    And I'm almost 6ft 😀

Hormone test would be the easiest, your X chromosome could be damaged for example? I had a stillbirth years ago, she had many problems but the post mortem revealed Turners x
