I'm not saying that you shouldn't consult a doctor, but I got my first period when I was in the 4th grade (I was...9 or 10 years old). It didn't come back for almost a year. Then it would be really erratic, coming every 3 months, then two weeks later, then 4 weeks later, then 2 months later... It would last anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks in duration. (Keep in mind that I was not at all sexually active during this time.) I cramped horribly all those years, sometimes unbearably so. (I also consulted a physician and I was deemed clinically "normal). After I became sexually active, the cramping got less severe, but my cycles in no way became predicable. Birth control had been used in my family to regulate and lessen menstruation cycles, but it didn't work for me. I have since had two children, had a tubal ligation, and still my cycles are irregular. I consistently get one.. I just never know if it's going to be 28 days until the next one, or 5 weeks. I never know if it's going to last 4 days, 6 days or 10 days. And still.. I am clinically "normal".

Again, this was my personal experience and I encourage you to talk with your doctor about what you're going through. If for no other reason than to make yourself feel better.

Good Luck! (And congratulations!)

your body is adjusting to a new thing. I had my first period on a vacation in Sept. It was late Nov. before I got another one. So...if you are not sexually active...I wouldn't worry about this yet.

What I would do (what my 11 year old daughter does) is carry a clean pair of underwear, what ever it is you are using for protect, and a small container of baby wipes with you and leave in your locker or carry it in a purse. You are going to start your next period probably anyday...why not be prepared...and DON'T WORRY! Worrying is stress and stress can mess up your monthly flow badly. Since you have access to the internet...just google this topic and it will put your mind at ease even more!

Here is something I found: Irregular periods are common in girls who are just beginning to menstruate. It may take the body a while to sort out all the changes going on, so a girl may have a 28-day cycle for 2 months, then miss a month or have two periods with hardly any time in between them, for example. Usually, after a number of months, the menstrual cycle will become more regular. Many women continue to have irregular periods into adulthood, though.

Answer 4

Congratulation! You are entering the infancy stages of Becoming a woman. First things first!!! Do NOT allow anyone to tell you how awful menstrual periods are and nasty. God gave females a way of self cleansing monthly. and a way of releasing our emotions in a timely manner. Now for your answer....Usually a cycle occurs between every 28-32 days. You start counting from the first day of your menstrual flow to 28 days. As you stated since you are just starting you body may not have gotten use to the new cycle. My first few years charting my period was a little difficult. I was regular but some days it was 28 and others were 30. So I had to make sure I had emergency underwear and pads from the 28th until I started.

Answer 5

Girls start menstruating at the average age of 12. However, girls can begin menstruating as early as 8 years of age or as late as 16 years of age. As girls approach their teen years, many changes occur to prepare their bodies for adult life. The body grows taller, forms breasts, and grows hair. Another change prepares the body for pregnancy. Once the body, brain and womb are old enough, a monthly bleeding cycle occurs. The lining of the womb prepares for pregnancy each month. The normal period cycle is 23 to 28 days. If a pregnancy does not occur, the lining is washed clean with blood. This blood appears from the woman's vagina. This monthly cycle is called menstruation, often referred to as her "period". It usually begins around the age of 12, but can start as early as age 8 or as late as 16. If menstruation does not start by age 16, help is needed. There are tests that can check for normal growth and cycles. If periods stop for 6 months, without a pregnancy, before age 35, a health care provider should be notified. What kinds of problems do women have with their periods? - Women can have various kinds of problems with their periods, including pain, heavy bleeding, and skipped periods.In the intial periods there may be delay in the regualrs cycles and girls may even skip one period in some cases depending on the body condition.

If you did not have sex there need not be any worry at all and the period will come atomatically though delayed. If otherwise please and if you have any other problem please consult your gynocologist.

What is amenorrhea (absence of menstruation)? - Amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation. There are two categories: primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea.

Answer 6

Everyone is different, but you sound normal. A period usually last 5 to 7 days give or take. You most likely will get it around the same time each month but since you just started it can be irregular. Good Luck!

Answer 7

close you said you had it in august right well it will happen again soon. try the next couple of days . i started havingmine when i was 12 and a half i am now 22 and mine is kinda irregual it goes for 4 days sometimes and 7 others. and it can start at the end of this month and going into the first couple of days of the following month. or sometimes it hsppens likeon the 15th of every month and goes for 7 days. your what is called a late bloomer... did you knwo it has to do with the phases of the moon and the ocean tides. and how much body fat is stored around the ovaries. and that one month it is left ovary then the next is the right.. i call it a soldiers march.. you can always tell by which side is cramped up more...

Answer 8

If this is the first time, You may not predict exact date of onset of next cycle. For beginners it may be irregular, but it will not be less than 21 days, may not be more than 2 calender months. These are the extremes I 'm giving. Average known cycles range from 25-45 days. Generally it is seen in siblings, mother-daughter it is similar,but can not be guaranteed upon.

Answer 9

Everyone is different. Text book is every 28 to 30 days. No one is the same. Plus different things affecting you could either delay or cause more frequent periods. Stress or weight gain/loss would even change your cycle. There is also a thing when women get together they tend to follow the same menstrual cycle.

Answer 10

Everyone is different and often when you first start you will be irregular. Generally you will have your cycle every 28 days, give or take a few. For a while , mine was like clockwork every six weeks. When my sister first started she would skip 2- 4 months at a time, eventually her body regulated itself and it is now pretty normal. Some people start and are pretty regular right away.

Answer 11

You're so young (not in a bad way) You're body will even out. Alot of it does have to do with you're mom and sister... but not necessarily. Don't worry it wll get better mine didn't even out for 2 years so be patient
