It's been 7 months since my last period ended. Is this normal?

How old are you?  If you can't afford a doctor, do you eat healthily?  Starvation and nutrient deficiency can stop your period, as can a number of other medical conditions.  I know there are OB/GYN's that offer free services in the Philadelphia, PA area, but I have no idea where you are or if they do that local to you... Call your local welfare office and ask, they should be able to help you find free medical services...

possibly stress, sometimes even with regular periods...you can still have irregular periods...you should start by mid next week the latest...after that, visit your doctor...

Don't worry about bleeding or any usually abnormal menstrual symptoms. It usually takes about 3 months for everything to become normal. If this continues to happen for more than 2 weeks or it doesn't lighten up, you need to call your doctor. Otherwise, don't panic.

It's supposed to start around 28 days after the first day of your last period.

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.

thats way too long.  you need to go see a doctor beacause you might be anemic, among other things.  periods lasting longer than 7 days are  not normal

If there is one thing for sure, there is nothing 'normal' about how long a period should last, or how long there should be between periods. If you feel anxious and want some advice, then see a doctor that you trust.\n\nPeriods settle down for the vast majority of women after about 1-3 years. Even if you don't settle down into a regular rhythm, that still can be normal for you. If after three years you are still unpredictable with no regular cycle, I would then see a doctor. Even at that stage, there will probably be nothing wrong.

Do you exercise a lot and/or strenuously?  have you been dieting?  If a woman doesn't have a reasonable percentage of body fat, her periods will stop.  You might also have your thyroid checked.  I had the opposite problem -- a period for 72 days, and it turned out I had Thyroid disease.\n\nNo matter what the reason, you should probably have a check-up.  Something's not right...\n\nGood luck!

For the first two years that I started menstruating, my periods didn't even look like blood, but that nasty dark brown stuff, and it freaked me out! As it turns out, the uterus doesn't just get rid of blood, but uterine tissue as well, which accounts for the clotting.\n\nIt seems odd that this is happening after your period has finished, as though you're having a second period. This does occasionally happen to people. I wouldn't be too concerned about it unless it doesn't disappear after a couple weeks. In that case I would go to the doctor to see what's up.

It's normal sweetie.  A woman's period can last up to 3-7 days.  You are fine.

Depends on why your period was supposed to stop... Do you think you might be pregnant, or are you taking some sort of medication??  Both might affect this, I'd guess.  If you have a period that is lasting as long as 2 weeks, you should definitely see a doctor.

I was on Depo Provera for about 4 years.  When I went off it, it took about 3 months for my period to return.  So no, I don't think anything is wrong.  My ob-gyn said if I don't have one after about 3 months, then contact him.

Very likely, it is perfectly normal. There is a lot of variation in how often women have their periods, the average, however,  is about 28 days.\nBut you should still visit a gynecologist as he may order some simple blood tests (hormone levels) and an ultrasound (totally painless 5 min test) just to make very sure.

I had two period a month for years.  Check with your GYN to make sure that something is not wrong.  It could just be that you are no longer "regular".  Are you cramping during both periods?  If you are, then you are likely just irregular right now.  It is important to check with your doctor though.

You're probably just young and when you're young you don't have a normal cycle yet. You're body has to adjust and creat it's own timing. It will be irregular until you reach about 18-21. The next time you get it could be 2 months! So don't worry you're fine. :-) I've been there before too
