Well this is pretty embarrassing for me but I don't know what's up. My body started developing fairly early, I was 9. I got my first period when I was 11, and it was regular. Then after 3 months, I believe, it just stopped. I recently turned 12 and it is still not happening.... Is this because I'm rather young, or is it something else? If you can help it's greatly appreciated.

assuming you are not sexually active (and I am betting you are not since you are so articulate for your age--and the smarter the girl, the longer she waits for sex!) Anyway, assuming you are not pregnant, then you are 100% normal and it's probable that nothing is wrong with you.
Two days ago I was at the doctor with my daughter who is near your age and he said that for the first 2 or 3 years a girl is still "finding her cycle" and she may skip, go early, go late, miss for several months....so give it a while...give it a year if you like.
At your age, as long as nothing else is wrong "down there" then you are probably just fine. Most doctors will not want to do an exam on you until you are closer to 17 or 18 unless something is really wrong. Missing a period at your age is normal.
If you are really active in sports that might be a reason. Or if you have recently gained or lost weight, that might be a reason.
Don't worry so much and talk to a coach at your school or your parent or a parent of a friend.

You've answered the question yourself really.
I also started early but then stopped like you. It's pretty normal for this, your body is still developing so you should wait a while till you need to worry yourself.
Being worried could also be a factor in your periods stopping completely.

Well, I'd say that you're younger he would now not be definite of his emotions but, as good as yours. You are each nonetheless so younger. Depending on what your religions or morals are this would be improper. There are a few persons who marry inside familys, now not too ordinary within the states as I'm mindful, however I in my view do not accept as true with that. I consider any one who's remotely virtually loved ones will have to keep at loved ones obstacles handiest. Hope this is helping!

Sweetie, go talk to your mom, it is not normal for a young woman to stop having her period at such a young age.
If you have been sexually active then my dear you may be pregnant. If you have not been sexually active then you may have an underlying medical problem that requires medical attention.
Either way you need to speak to your mom or an aunt someone who can get you proper medical attention.
Please do not wait your health and future depends on it.

Ok... You sound like my girlfriend Robyn. She has hers irratically. She will have it for 3 days a yr or once a month and she has been this irregular for as long as I've known her (14 years) so I wouldnt worry too much about it. She's been to the doctor and he said that this is normal for her and that all women's bodies are different. So this might just be normal for you.

same thing w/me, except i was 9 when i developed, and 10 when i got my periopd. it could be one of two things.
1) if you are overweight that could be it. youre falopian tube is not supossed to have all the weight on it. it pushes on your uterus, and gives you an early period.
2) it is a pre-period. thats what i had. its where your body thinks its ready to reproduce, but its not, so it stops having your 'cycle'.
3) EXTRA CAUSE!!! if you were raped or molested, it signals your uterus that you are ready to reproduce. this only happens in rare occasions.
please let me know if you need any more help. (im 14, so i understand) ((i still dont have mine yet(period) ))

well u r about like i was when i was little except for i didn't start my period until i was 13 and then it stopped for a long time but i knew i wasn't pregnant cause i hadn't did any thing and i know how u feel i was scared to tell my parents cause i didn't want them to think i was sexually active even though i knew i was a virgin so my best answer to u is to go see a doctor.

i believe this is fairly common for young girls, my daughter got her period early, had it for a couple months and stopped for 6 months, then it started again.

If you're having sex (which I hope you're not!!) you could be pregnant... otherwise it could be a nutritional issue... if you're underweight or very overweight that could cause it, or too much exercise could also be a factor. You should tell your mom (or dad or whoever is your guardian) and they can take you to a doctor about it, because it sounds serious.
