One morning I woke up and I was having a lite period. Later on that day I took a shower and I was bleeding. A few hours later I went to pee and there as no blood. My period always last for 4 days and that time it didn't. I waited and it still didn't come back. I know I'm not pregnant because I'm only 11 and I have never been intimate with a guy. Am I OK. And don't say talk to your mom because I plan on doing that when I get advice.

It could do that if you've been more active lately. Or have you been straining your body, like manual labor? I used to get manual labor as a punishment.lol. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you have pain. Your mom will either know more or take you for a check up at the doc.

Some girls always have irregular periods; others get theirs every 28 days like clockwork. Many are regular most of the time, but occasionally skip a period or get an extra period during times of pressure or stress. In fact, you may notice that when you go on a trip or have a major change in your schedule your period is late.
The length of your periods may also vary - sometimes your period may last 2 days, sometimes 10. That's because the level of hormones your body manufactures can be different from one cycle to the next and this affects the amount and length of bleeding.
So how can you tell when you're about to get your period? If you're not regular, you'll want to pay attention to the clues your body may give you. These include:
back cramps or stiffness
heavier breasts or breast soreness (this will happen after ovulation and before you get your period)
headaches
acne breakouts
disturbed sleep patterns
mood swings
If you're not taking birth control pills, you're not pregnant, and you're not having other symptoms such as stomach pain, then it's very likely that your irregular periods are part of the normal changes that can happen when you're a teen. At some point as you grow, your cycle will probably settle into a recognizable pattern. This should happen by 3 years after your first period.
Some teens may develop irregular periods - or stop having periods altogether - as a result of a hormone imbalance. Disorders of the thyroid gland can cause menstrual irregularities if the levels of thyroid hormone in the blood become too low or too high. Some women have irregular periods because their bodies produce too much androgen, which is a hormone that causes increased muscle mass, facial hair, and deepening of the voice in males and the development of pubic hair and increased height in girls. High amounts of androgen can also cause hair growth on the face, chin, chest, and abdomen, and is sometimes associated with excessive weight gain.
If a girl has one of these problems, or if her periods are irregular for 3 years or more (or for other reasons), the doctor may prescribe hormone pills or other medications that will help her to have regular periods.
In the meantime, if your periods are irregular, try keeping some pads or tampons in your backpack, just so you'll have them handy in case your period comes when you're not expecting it.
It's important to see a doctor if you're sexually active and have missed a period - this could be a sign that you're pregnant. You should also see your doctor if you start having periods that last longer than 7 to 10 days or periods that are accompanied by severe cramping or abdominal pain.

How long have you had your period?? If its 2 years/under then your fine!.. ( and obviously it is because the youngest you can get your period is age 9) so dont worry about it!.. the first 2 years your period is irregular..you can have it for an hour n it stops, you might have it for 2 weeks & not get it again for 6 months! or you might have it every 3 weeks or so..everyones different. When i first got my period, i got it every couple weeks and then it skipped 6 months! So its okay hun nothings wrong!..but you can always ask someone you trust! GOOD LUCK!

if you are only 11, it sounds perfectly normal.
