This is the sign that you're close, so don't worry about it and pretty soon you should have your period.  If you're having a lot of pain tho in your uterus area, you should see a doctor or gynecologist about that.

you could be pregnant - when wuz ur last monthly period - even if is due this week or even 1 weeek or 2 - first thing is get a pregnancy test done - we have to rule that out first priority - try getting a pregnancy blood test done - u cant be too sure with home test kits - if u do want to do a home test kit then do it in the morning with ur first urine - and please do it atleast 5 times to make sure !

In most cases women who haven't had their period (not b/c of pregnancy) are usually just stressed out. It should come naturally. In the mean time just try to relax and do things that make you feel good. Good luck!

You're going through puberty, these things are all normal. Carry round a pad so you are prepared for your periods when they come. For more information about periods visit -\nhttp://beinggirl.com\nDon't worry :-)\n~Katie~

Is it possible that you are pregnant??  Let's rule that out first.  Are you seriously underweight?  If you do not have enough body fat, you will not menstruate.  Are you into sports or extremely athletic?  That also deals with body fat composition, but it is a healthy reason to not have the body fat.  Also, how stressed are you?  That could keep it from coming too.\n\nListen, you are 18.  You are an adult.  You have a responsibility to take care of yourself.  I'm sorry that your parents aren't there for you, and I know it's scary, but you have to do this.  If I were your sister, I'd go with you.  Talk to your school nurse for some direction of what to do- where to go.  Go get yourself checked out.  It could be something serious, and you don't want it to get worse because you didn't go to the OB when you could have.

Is there a chance you could be pregnant? Or it could be early signs of menapause. If you have been excercising and loosing weight, under alot of stress. These are just shots in the dark. Ideas to think about.

your period can be irregular for a while when you first start getting it i got mine when i was 11 but it wasn't completely regular until i was almost 15 even now,at 17, i'm going on birthcontrol to help regulate it more b/c i have a short cycle (come almost a week early every time) diet and exercise can have an effect on it too. Talk to you docter about it next time you go in but know that it is perfectly normal

Sorry to say that you may just be stressing out because YOU want to be Pregnant. More than likely you will probably get your period. If not, and Hopefully I am wrong...wait about another 1-2wks then make a doctors' appointment. Those over the counter tests are NEVER too accurate. By making an appointment with the Doctor they can go ahead and draw blood. This is an EXACT accurate test to find out. Good Luck

When you first start your period, often it is irregular and catches you by surprise.  I always carried seomthing in my purse/backpack to be prepared for that.  Also, look for the signs of your period coming (such as bloating, cramping, ect) and then its not so much of a surprise.  Also, Id suggest tracking it on a calendar or website (theres lots of free ones to do so), and then u can predict it so much better.

Sounds as though you might have your period – congratulations! \n\nYou might want to talk to your mother or another adult they should be able to help you out – although it is important you learn all you can about your body yourself. An adult should also be able to help you celebrate your first period, like a shopping trip, nice meal, sleep over, or whatever you might be into. \n\nThe most important thing you will ever learn about your periods;\n\nPeriods are only as a good or as bad as you make them!\n\nThe more you know the better they are, for example those pains aren't a necessary part of having periods. There are a lot of things you can do to prevent them, but for the time being I highly recommend drinking Raspberry Leaf Tea and rubbing a little Clary Sage on your belly. It's nothing to be worried about, we all get our periods sooner or later and there is nothing to fear, it's a good thing once you know all about it, promise.

If you over exercise, or dont eat enough, you can lose your period.  If you have had a sudden change in diet or exercise that could be the problem, also if you are quite young, that can happen as well.  \n\nIt never hurts to double check with a doctor though. Better to be safe than sorry.  Good luck.

You should muster up the strength to take a pregnancy test.   And yes, you should see a doctor.  Even if you're not pregnant, there has to be a reason that you're not having a period.\n\nGood luck to you and I hope you've got a little bean.

the way I understand it, it's just like hitting puberty.  It will come when it comes - keep in touch with your doctor.  You could also be starting to show some signs that you are not considering signs of menopause, and have not discussed with him/her.  It's great not having the periods. be patient - it can be rough at times.

Are you breastfeeding?  If so, you won't get your period until ater you stop.  Even if not, sometimes the body needs a few months to get back to normal.\nHowever, if you do not get your period that does not mean that you cannot conceive.  But it also does not mean you are pregnant.

well irregularity is normal during the beggining stages of your period, but regardless of irregularities you should still be getting your period about every 2-3 months. Perhaps the bleeding was caused by something other than your period since there seems to be large periods of time between each menstrual cycle. I suggest you talk to your doctor about it, a mom might make you feel better, but a doctor can actually tell you what is wrong. :)

Don't feel bad.  I only have my period like four time a year.  It could be because of stress, weight, lack of exercise, or a million reasons.  Other people I know have had it, too. The only thing that cured our problem, is we all went to either a gynecologist or planned parent hood and got on birth control.  Once I was put of birth control, my period was perfect.  You should definitely check with a doctor thought, because build up in the uterus from not having a period increases your chances greatly to develop certain female cancers.

Every girl is different.  I got my period at the age of 11 while my best friend didn't get hers until she was 15.  We were both perfectly fine and healthy, I just developed faster.  Part of it has to do with genetics.  Her mother and grandmother both got their first periods at a later age, while my mother got hers when she was younger.  Factors such as malnutrition and physical or emotional stress can delay the onset.  As long as you are healthy, though, there shouldn't be a problem.  I would say that if it hasn't come by the time you're 15 you may want to ask a doctor to make sure everything is fine.
