any thoughts? effects of diet change?

Hi. Our family decided to change our diet beginning this past January. We have been eating almost no meat (we've had fish once) and we were eating very little dairy. I have felt great, but in March (when I was supposed to get my period), I didn't get it. I did have a some discharge tinged with blood, but didn't get a period. I have been reading that it may be because of my diet change. For the 5 months before our diet change, I was finally getting pretty regular periods (I was never regular before...I am very petite and don't have much body fat). Now I am concerned. I changed my diet primarily to be MORE healthy and now I am worried I am messing up my body...maybe I am lacking some nutrient or vitamin which is causing my body to not get a period. However, I do consume enough calories, so that is not it. A couple weeks after missing my period and after reading some different sources, I decided to add dairy products back into my diet. Now, I have been nauseas for almost 5 days (pretty much since adding dairy back). I thought maybe I was pregnant because my basal temperature has stayed up for the past 3 or 4 days, but the preg test was negative. I am wondering if anyone has had trouble with getting their periods since diet change and what they did. I want to remain a vegetarian and really would like to limit dairy, but I would like to have another baby fairly soon. Also, do you think the nausea is related to adding dairy back to my diet...Has anyone experienced that? Thanks for ANY ADVICE OR OPINIONS
