I get my period every 2-3 months. It's been happening for about a year now and even though my pediatrician said it's a normal thing, I don't belive her. I'm 15 now and she said it should all balance out when I turn 15 and nothing has happened yet. i last got my period on April 28 and I should be getting it soon. But if it doesn't come again I'm worried. I think I might have ovarian cysts. Is that possible?

Having abnormal periods is actually a pretty normal thing. However, I would follow the advice of previous posters and make a visit to an OB/GYN, just to rule out any possibilities and set your mind at ease. I am inclined to believe that having cysts would lead one to bleed/spot more, not less - but I'm not a medical doctor, so please schedule an appointment with a gynecologist to answer your questions. Get a second medical opinion!

I would not worry. I dont get my period once a month either. I get mine maybe once every 2 sometimes 3. I can never tell. If you are worried I would bring up your thought about having cysts with your pediatrician. If she says she does not think so tell her you are worried and ask if there is any way she can check. Im sure you would feel some sort of pain if you did so i would not worry.

It really depends on how old you were when you first started. The first several years, it can be sporatic. As you get older, it will develop more systematical. Are you into gymnastics? That will slow things down for you. Heavy physical exercise will cause periods to even stop for a month or two. So will stress and excitement. I don't think you have any worries. One should be more worried if they have heavy constant periods. That is a concern for something to look for like cysts, tumors,endometrious. and so on.

May be some hormonal disbalance.
Try having sex and it is know to release lots of hormones in the blood stream as a natural reaction for pregnancy.
May be it will help.
If u dont find a sex partner try having a full masterbation.
For the result to happen do this atleast 3 time a week for 4-5 months.
May be the hormonal disbalance will balance out
All the very best

Yeah, that's possible. Alot of things are possible. My sister has polycystic ovary disease and she used to have one period a year like clock work. At least yours is more often. As long as you aren't having alot of other worrisome symptoms, don't worry about it. There's nothing they can do about cysts unless they get infected, burst, or lower your fertility. So probably, you shouldn't worry about this until you're older and want to have babies. Chances are you will be able to any way. It is very common for young women to not be regular until they are much older. Everything seems very immediate to you, and 2 months seems like forever. But as you get older, these things tend to work themselves out and then you'll be missing the time that you had fewer periods!
PS time to switch to a gynocologist.

you should only go by what your doctor tells you, and if you want a second opinion that will help to put your mind at ease -- that's not an uncommon thing though, especially at 15, some girls even get their period more frequently than the regular month so you'e on the better end of the irregular periods

Although the ultimate solution is to go to a specialist and get tests done, however sound like a simple hormonal imbalance to me. Enjoy! This can be treated simply by going on the pill to balance your estrogen/progesterone levels. Probably after having children, your hormones would balance themselves.

Chill out, you'll be fine. Just wait a while, you body will correct all changes, over time... If it was a cyst it would be shorter cycles or irregular.

I wouldn't ask a medical question like that here. Have your mom get you an appointment with a gynocologist to rule anything out.
