All women's bodies are different. I got mine when I was 11 and some of my friends didn't until they were 15 or 16. Some of it is hereditary and some of it is just good old mother nature. Your body will start when it's ready. \nAs far as getting info on menstruation...there is alot of good info. on the internet...try WebMD.com or aske your mom to take you to see a gynecologist or family doctor and ask all the questions you want.

You're only 14, trust me, give yourself sometime and there will be somewhat of a difference. I know a girl who got her period at the age of 17 and she had small breasts. By the time she hit 20 years old she was wearin C cup bras. Other people around may seem to be developing quicker, but it doesn't mean your behind. Somewhat, breasts to develop at the same time your period comes because they're both in the same area when it comes to hormonal changes and puberty... so I guess an answer to your question could be yes.

Maybe its your hormones.

Irregular menstruation can sometimes be caused by hormonal imbalances. It can become a serious condition if it persists, for the loss of blood can cause a variety of other medical problems from leucemia to death in more sever conditions. The good news is that your sister is planning to visit the doctor at the onset of the problem, this will certainly maximize her chance of preventing this from happening in the future. Do remember that if it does happen to be a hormonal imbalance, then it will also take some time in order for the hormonal levels to restore themeselves to their required limitations.

It makes sense. A girl is for some strange reason more "horny" while on her period. Something about procreation. As a guy I don't think there's anything wrong with it just make sure you use a bit of extra lubrication. Blood has a tendency, although a liquid, to dry out quickly. See the humour in it all and have fun. Not so great for going down on though.

it is due to an increase in hormone release that happens during periods

Everyone is different. Some women do not have regular menstrual cycles. There are things that can change your cycle. For example if a woman is does not meet her nutritional needs or is anorexic she may not get a period for a while. If you are very athletic this will also change your cycle. The most important thing for you to do is to see your doctor about these concerns. Remember people will always offer advice but nobody but you and your doctor can find the correct answer to your question.

It could be menopause.  Menopause is the medical term for the end of a woman's menstrual periods. It is a natural part of aging, and occurs when the ovaries stop making hormones called estrogens. This causes estrogen levels to drop, and leads to the end of monthly menstual periods. This usually happens between the ages of 45 and 60, but it can happen earlier. Menopause can also occur when the ovaries are surgically removed or stop functioning for any other reason

there really is not set standard as to when you're gonna get boobs. some people just sprout late. your period will change while you're going thru puberty. but some days during your period may always be heavier then others. everyone's bodies are different.

Don't worry.  Every girl is different.  Your body isn't ready yet and that is normal.  Enjoy not having a period yet because they really suck for most girls.  My daughter is 12 and she spotted once when she was 11 and then nothing since.  That can happen too.  Normal.  Most girls don't get their period and have a regular 28 day cycle from the beginning.  I've known lots of girls that don't get their period until they are in their mid to late teens.  It's not as common as those of us that start early on (I was 11) but it's not abnormal or anything to stress about. :)

Yes, you could be.  You could also be exhibiting false symptoms if you're at all anxious about it.  This could also cause your period to be late.  Don't jump to conclusions yet; give it a another couple of weeks.

Stress and weight changes can cause you to skip periods every once in a while. See your doctor if you think it's something else.

You're still in your teens, and women's cycles don't become truly regular until the mid-twenties. Your body may have just randomly skipped a cycle. Rapid weight loss or malnutrition can also cause a missed period. As you said, stress can do it too. Also, some illnesses (ovarian cysts or uterine cancer, for example) can do the same. That's a very unlikely possibility though.\n\nIf you're sexually active, take a home pregnancy test once your period is a few days late. If it's negative or you're not sexually active, wait another month to see if our period returns. If it doesn't, head to the gynecologist for a check-up.

Hormones vary with periods of stress in life. Infections also may cause a lack of a period. An anovulatory period is most likely what your having, they are vary common when your young. It just a time in life when your periods will be off. If your not active, it should correct by the next month. Doctors don't usually worry until three consequtively missed periods.\n\nOther than that, alot also has to do with your weight, and familial history. But when your young, your hormones are crazy. So sometimes two cycles in a month, sometimes none.
