Its normal to have an irregular period for at least the first year. After that if it is still acting irregular make an appointment to see a ob/gyn.

Are you sexually active? If so you could be pregnant. But my guess is your not, so you should talk to you mom and go see your gyno.   Has it been more than a month because periods are sometimes irregular.

It can be caused by stress.  even if you don't think you are stressed there could be something that is bothering you just enough to screw up your cycle!  Also age....When I was younger my cycles were so heavy, but now that I am almost 30 it has started to slow down.

I really wouldn't worry to much about it if I were you.  Sometimes that just happens.  You get lucky and have light periods.  \n\nIt could be because you are dieting and have lost a lot of weight, because changes to the body like that can cause more changes with our monthlies.  Don't worry to much and if you are worried go to the doctor and get checked out but I believe it is just a change in the body.

Yes, this is normal.  Sometimes your cycle just changes like this.  It can be for many reasons for example stress, exercise, weight gain, even diet change.  I wouldn't worry about it.

I assume you're asking what it means when you get your period twice in one month, correct?  You're probably irregular which in itself is not abnormal but if you find you are bleeding very heavily you may want to see your doctor to ensure your body isn't having any problems.  My cycles were extremely irregular way into my 20s.  It wasn't until I had children that my periods became as regular as clockwork.

Are you talking about your period?  If so, this is most likely due to the stress you were going through.  Stress does all sorts of things to the body, and it can definitely mess with a woman's cycle.  If your cycles don't return to normal, though, you should see a gynocologist to make sure there is nothing else causing it to be irregular.

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.

diet is sometimes a cause of irregular periods,try a good vitamin,if this fails ask your Doctor about a D&C this is a simple proceedure.painless.....A simple sraping of the uterus and regular periods should resume.The lining in your uterus can sometimes build up when this is scraped out normal periods will return.......and things shoul go back to normal.....Sharlene S

You can always go to a doctor to get tested, but when it first comes back is all up to your body.  Some women don't get their cycle for a year after they have a baby, even if they aren't breast feeding.  If there is a risk though of pregnancy, talk to your doctor.  My friend was 9 months before getting her cycle, and she was way past breast feeding.  Good luck! :)

Normal - no, possible - yes.\nThe reason I say it is not normal is because anytime we allow stress to find a way to start making us physically ill or starts to make our body work differently than normal, that is "not normal."\nAnything to freak out about, probably not.  If you KNOW you are not pregnant, I would suggest trying to find a way to work your stress out and see if your cycle gets back on track.\nIf it is stress, realize that you may not start on the next day "you are expected to," and it may just show up - once that happens, that will be your body telling you that you are somehow learning how to manage differently and hopefully your cycle will get back on a regular cycle.\nHope this helps, good luck.

I didnt get my first period til I was 17. My second period came 6 months later! It continued to be really irregular for a year. If you are under 18, don't stress about it.

Well there is the possibility that you just have an abnormal cycle. Theres many factors to it like wieght,medicines you take,stress and others. It's best to ask a doctor.

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

Mine has been the same, 4, maybe 5 days, and a little heavy for the first day or two, then very light. I've been the same way since I started when I was 9. I'm now 23, so as long as you are staying around the same amount of days in your cycle... i.e... every 28 or 29 days, you are perfectly normal. The cramps usually last a day or so, I normaly get back cramps and my breast hurt a week before I start. The stomach issues were probably just a considence, if it becomes a regular thing, like having the same symptoms for 3 months straight, see a family doctor. Hope that helps.  :-)

Some girls have irregular ovulation -- that's what causes your period. Most women are regular, ovulate on schedule and only stop when they become pregnant, if there is a medical condition or they hit menopause. But there is a small percentage of women who do not ovulate regularily. In an extreme case - and this is a friend of mine - ovulation only occurs once a year! She had a great deal of difficulty timing things so she could get pregnant, and she and her husband only managed it once. So the answer to your question is yes, some girls just don't get their periods.
