Your body can do some crazy things!  So yes it could be possible.

No darling:) Don't worry, ususally the menstral cycles doesn't become stable(as far as length between and days on) until you are in your twenties, or after your first child. your body is still growing and developing and getting used to the rush or new hormones. Many things can effect your monthly cycle.For example, your body fat percentage. If you very athletic, thin, with very low body fat you will always have a shorter more irregular period. Also if you have another feamle in your household, for some reason unknown to science. Women that live together will eventually have their menstral cycles together. Don't worry , unless you have severe cramping or bleeding,colored discharge(white or yellow), or foul odor. These are all reasons to contact your school nurse,doctor, or your parents. G'luck and be safe

If your menses have always been this way then it may be "normal" for you.  Sometimes bleeding will change in amount, but hasn't completely stopped.  If I count your days correctly, this is about a week.  Some womens' menses last a week which is normal for them...If you are concerned talk with your gyne about it...\nGood luck...

This is probably really normal. As others have asked, it could be a determinant of your age. If you feel stressed or anxious about this, then see a doctor you trust for reassurance. Various activities in life can affect your period, such as vigorous sporting or atheletic activities, and stress.\n\nTo give you my story, I started by period at the age of 14 and it was NEVER predictable or normal. I went on the pill at 18, simply because after 4 years, I still did not have a regular pattern. When I was 22, I stopped having periods for 9 months, yet there was no possibility of pregnancy. After a series of tests, it was finally determined that this was normal for me. I am now 30, and my period is still only regulated by taking the pill. While this is not 'normal' in the big scale of things, it is normal for me.

It is normal. I missed my period a whole 3 months when i switched my birth control. But go to the doctor just to be on the safe side.

It could just be that your body is adjusting to being off the pill. The pill regulates your period and if you've been on it for awhile, your body is not used to having to regulate it without the hormones from the pill. Or it could just be that you have a normally long interval between periods. For some women its normal to only have a period every other month or only once a year. \n\nIf there's a chance you could be pregnant, you should take a test and see a Doctor. Otherwise give your body about 6 months to establish its own rhythm. If you don't have some sort of regularity by that time, see your doctor to make sure nothing is wrong. \n\nThere are also other things that can effect your cycle, such as other drugs, diet and stress.

I have been on Seasonalle for about a year and i usually get my period a few days into the white pills.  It's normal.  Plus the fact that your body is still adjusting to pills.  Another thing to consider is that stressing over being pregnant could keep your period from coming.  If it would put your mind at ease, take a home pregnancy test.  I bet you will have your period very soon.  :-)

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.  :-)

It's called "breakthrough bleeding" and is perfectly normal (especially when you're on the pill.)  I wouldn't worry unless you are experiencing extremely heavy cramping when this happens.  Do a search for breakthrough bleeding on the web and you should find more info...  = )

I actually got my periods when i was 11 and they lasted for 7 days to this day (im now 27).  For the first 3-4 days it was quite heavy and then it became lighter every day after that until it ended roughly on the 7th day.\n\nI did go on the pill for uterus problems a few years ago and it seemed to reduce it down to 3-4 days which helped a fair bit.\n\nAs for whether or not its normal, i asked the same thing of my doctor.  Especially seeing i had endometriosis.  He told me that for every woman it is different and sometimes regardless of uterus health a woman can bleed for 7 days.  My own sister who is perfectly healthy also gets hers for the same amount of time.\n\nAs for your periods not coming on every month, it does mean there could be something to be looked into.  Go to your doctor and get it checked out.  Everything might be fine, or your body could just be getting over the stress of the accident.  Stress can make them become irratic.\n\nHope everything goes well, good luck.

Just relax, being that you had birth control in your system it affects the start time of your period.  Don't worry just give it a little bit, and you can always contact your doctor about the matter.  Also, being that you were spotting, it shows that your body is at least trying to prepare itself to officially start.

Your cramps are very normal. Thats a normal sign that your persiod is coming. Also if your breasts feel sore that is another sign. Howver if you think that the pain is very bad you should perhpas consult with your doctor and maybe a new birth control pill will do you more good in which it will not cause you so much pain a week before your period. Periods suck so try and make the best of it.\nGood luck!\n=)

Actually, you don't need a regular period unless you're wanting to concieve, and then you wouldn't take birth control. You would be jacking up your body to take a pill for a period the same time every month. Basically, the pill tricks the body into thinking that it's already pregnant (so you won't get pregnant). You gain weight, have tenderness in your breasts, are irritable and pretty much have pregnancy symptoms as normal effects of the pill. Please think twice before using them, as they are also associated with blood clots, infertility later and certain types of cancer.

Usually a woman's cycle is shorter than that, but I've definitely had periods where I bleed much longer than normal. I don't think you are in immediate danger, but you should talk to your doctor about it.\n\nIf you are on the pill, you could be getting used to the hormone dosage you are currently taking. When that happened to me, I spotted for almost three weeks. I went to my doctor and he changed my pill to one with a higher dosage of hormones. \n\nI wouldn't lose sleep over it, but I would see your doctor soon.

You betcha! I'm on my period right now cuz I missed two damn pills!! And I was in the middle of my damn pack. (Sorry if thats too much info lol.)\n\nWhen your not on any BC, you period comes every 28-35 days depending on ur cycle. Right? It knows when to come. BUT when your on birth contol, the pill is tricking your body to think its pregnant, so it prevents your period, and when you stop taking these pills your body knows your not preg and starts getting rid of the blood, fluids and uterin lining (i.e. your period). So, considering we're all tricking our bodies, you could have your period, go on your pills for a week or two, stop taking them and it would come again. \n\nIt sucks, I know, but its a good way to remember to take your pills or you will suffer the consequences of getting your period more then you should. And I'm sure we can all agree that thats the last thing we need or want.\n\nP.S.- If your period comes, DO NOT try and stop it by taking your pills when you're already bleeding, it will make your period heavier and longer! Trust me. (This is a whole nother subject that I'm not even gunna get into unless you wanna know, then by all means send me an e-mail.)\n\nHope this helped!\n\n****** I just read the answer above mine, ok NO, you never have to take a break from your pills! If you don't believe me, look it up on the net or ask your doctor! Taking a break is completely unnecessary. The pills need to be constantly taken to be regulated in your body. If not, they won't be effective towards pregnany. *******

You're young, and just starting to menstruate. Your body isn't on a regular cycle yet. Don't be alarmed. Cramps and light spotting are very normal. It may take up to a year before your periods regulate themselves.
