You need to see your doctor ASAP, this maybe something very serious or completely normal. My cousin had her period like you have so her doctor put her on birth control and it seemed to help her. Talk to your doctor and good luck.

Nothing wrong with you or your body if it only happens occasionally.  If it continues to happen though, see your doctor.\nI am assuming that you are not taking any hormonal birth control as you did not mention this.  Hormonal birth control (the pill, the patch, etc.) can really mess with your body and sometimes change the pattern of your cycles especially when you are first starting them or just after you've discontinued using them.\n\nI myself have just stopped taking hormonal birth control and I had 3 menstrual cycles in 5 weeks.  Doctor says it is nothing to worry about, my body is just getting back to "normal".\n\nBut if you ever suspect that you are bleeding due to a pregnancy or possible miscarriage, you should take a pregnancy test.

NORMAL\n\nyes this is 100% normal, your periods are probably or probably used to be irregular, and this is normal\n\nnothing to worry about, this is just the way the female body works, and everyone's is different, if you wear tampons, just wear them until everything is clear, no big deal

I don't think that that is normal. If I were you I would go to your school nurse and explain it to her...tell her your just concerned and maybe if she talked to your mom about it then it  might convince her that seeing a Dr. wouldn't hurt.\nI do want to say however that I'm sure things are fine and it may just be a hormonal imbalance that can be treated with medication. Don't think that there is something seriously wrong with you.  The best thing to do is to talk with the nurse and/or Dr. just to get things checked out.  Good luck hun...it's an inconvenience to have a period for a few days much less a few weeks...hang in there

Everyone is different, but what you are describing isn't the norm.  Two periods a month is not usual.  It has happened to me in the past, but it sounds to me as if you should get it checked.  Most likely it will be nothing to worry about but it is a nuisance for sure.  Various hormonal imbalances can cause it, especially thyroid problems, so I think it is time for you to get it checked.

Your period is probably just being irregular. At 17 your body hasn't completely worked out all of the kinks that come along with periods, and yeah, you'll occasionally be late or skip a month. It could also be related to stress or being sick (if you have been recently). I wouldn't worry about it.\n\nHowever, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to a gynecologist anyways and get checked out, and maybe put on birth control if irregular periods are a problem.

Most likely stress! It does wonders as far as screwing up your hormones! You've taken all the right steps so I wouldn't worry if I were you. Just try and keep yourself calm and make sure you're eating properly, and your body will settle down, and you should find your periods even out.  \n\nOh, and keep on your birth control pill! If you've only just started taking them, bear in mind it could be the pills that are affecting your periods. And if it continues, maybe your dr will prescribe you a different Pill. But don't take the risk of unprotected sex! It's not worth it!\n\nHope you're ok,\nLove Raine

It isn't bad. It happens to most of us at least once. The only thing I would be concerned about is pregnancy, but if you haven't had sex, then it should be fine. If you still don't have one in a month or so, you may want to see a doctor just to rule out any problems there. The other thing to look at is if you have lost a lot of weight recently, or started a new workout routine. That can delay or stop your period until your body gets used to it.

You need to see a gynocologist about this problem. there can be many reason why you're not having normal periods. Reproductive endocrinologists as well- they're highly specialized and can tell whats going on if you're having a hormone problem, which is likely

Everyone is different.\nIt's obvious that your body is changing and you would definately be close to a time when your period is due.\nIf you need more information maybe you can go see the Doctor or school nurse but there are plenty of books around on the topic, even checking online.

you're fine! Its normal for periods to get all out of whack at your age. I'm 20 and it still happens to me.

there are several causes of period irregularity...hormonal imbalance, stress, endometriosis, fibroids. Its best to have it checked with your doctor especially if the flow is very little or a lot and accompanied with pain. Dont worry yourself unnecessarily...get it checked

Just chill ... nothing is wrong ... periods come and go early and late as you are stressed, different things happening in your life, etc.

nothing is wrong with you... everyones bodies react differently to stress, drugs, and well everything. many times there is a natural answer to the bodies symptoms, but in your case i would pop into your doctors office and get their opinion. it could be a lot of things causing this, you may even be ovulating and just not bleeding. do yourself a favor and go to your doctor, they will be much more believable for you than some peolple n the internet. good luck
