It takes a while for your periods to settle down. I remember having periods all over the place when I was 13.
You're probably fine, but of course if you're really worried, see your doctor.

If it's changed then probably good idea to see the doctor. But odd numbers of days between is not abnormal. I used to go anywhere up to 50 or 60 days between periods and never did get regular except when I had gained a lot of weight.

It's always best to see a doctor if you have questions about your body and/or cycle.
However, I'm 23 and have had various strange cycles - ranging from 3 month gaps between periods, to having them 20 days apart. It has a lot to do with your stress level and the things you eat, apparently. Don't worry too much - but it never hurts to get checked out.

You have just started menses, so this isn't unusual at all. It might take a few years for you to become regular. You should start keeping track of when your periods start and end and whether the flow is light, heavy, etc. Keep track of them for a few months and then make an appoinment to see your gynocologist. Show him/her your schedule and let them determine if there is an issue. This is normal though, so don't worry!

i wouldnt stress about it
but i would go and have a chat with your doctor
its good to keep your doctor informed of any changes
it could be something very simple though like your getting more exercise than usual. or your going through a stressful time at school. additionally, at 13 your body is still working itself out hormonally so it wont be regular all the time necessarily.
but i would still make an appointment
just for your own piece of mind too
best of luck

being thirteen, your periods are gonna be off for a few years....i'm 20 and i still have irregular cycles. 19 days isn't strange at all...and there are some people who even go two months without getting a period. everyone is different, so just get to know your body, but its definitly nothing to freak out about.

If you are stressed out about something it could be it. Or you could have a cyst on your ovaries. Try not to worry, go see your Dr. and have it checked out just to be save. My period was crazy at that age and when I did have a period I hurt really bad and didn't know why. My doctor said it was a cyst. It could just be your hormones you are still very young and your body may not how to react.

No l think you are still quite young, it's quite common to have irregular periods, maybe as you get a bit older they will settle into a routine again, but if you are really worried you can easily see your doctor.

It is quite normal at the beginning of puberty, for periods to be irregular. For most women, they settle down inrto a regular pattern, relax and let your hormones settle.
