Lack of menstruation is an indication of pregnancy.

Short Answer

Solution

Lack of menstruation may be indicative of pregnancy because menstruation only occurs if the released ovum is not fertilized. During pregnancy, hormonal changes maintain the corpus luteum and endometrium, preventing menstruation. However, absence of menstruation can also be caused by stress or poor health, so it is not exclusively a sign of pregnancy.
