Answer 1

No darling:) Don't worry, ususally the menstral cycles doesn't become stable(as far as length between and days on) until you are in your twenties, or after your first child. your body is still growing and developing and getting used to the rush or new hormones. Many things can effect your monthly cycle.For example, your body fat percentage. If you very athletic, thin, with very low body fat you will always have a shorter more irregular period. Also if you have another feamle in your household, for some reason unknown to science. Women that live together will eventually have their menstral cycles together. Don't worry , unless you have severe cramping or bleeding,colored discharge(white or yellow), or foul odor. These are all reasons to contact your school nurse,doctor, or your parents. G'luck and be safe

Answer 2

Most likely not. You're still young, and your hormonal levels are still all over the map. I would advise you to have your mom take you to a female gynecologist to have your first pelvic and PAP test done. While you're with the doctor, you can ask her any questions you have - and if the doctor is smart, she will ask your mom to leave the room so you and the doctor can talk in private.
Don't be shy, ashamed or scared to ask any "female" questions. If the doctor has been in practice for any length of time, trust me, she's heard it. And, if she's a good doctor - she won't think twice about answering you truthfully.
It's a bit scary the first time you go, just because the whole thing is new to you - but it's not that bad - and it will establish your relationship with the doctor - so you will have someone you can trust to talk to - when sometimes you don't feel you can talk with your mom...........Even though she is the first and best choice in most cases.
If your school has a nurse, she can also give you information about hormonal changes of puberty and suggest some good gynecologists for you.
Good luck hun, and ask her to make an appointment for you.

There is almost certainly no problem. At your age periods can be very unpredictable... and sometimes stop for a while altogether. Even as adults, some women have very irregular periods or have a very long time between periods (the longest I have heard about is six months!!).

One factor that might influence your periods is body weight... if you are very thin or very over-weight this might be causing the problem (girls with anorexia, the slimming disease, for example often lose their periods altogether).

If you're really worried then talk to your parents (they will understand - honest!) or your doctor but my guess is that everything will sort itself out in a few months - especially if you relax (because tension is another thing that sends your natural cycle haywire!).

Answer 4

Nah don't worry. For the first few years they will be weird. They might never settle down.

They can dissapear for months at a time. If in doubt though ask your doctor or any older women that you can speak to. There's nothing to worry about though.

Periods can range from about 2 light days to a full 7 days heavy.
Commonly periods change or are delayed if you're stressed or doing a lot of exercise or if your diet has changed so maybe it's that.

Answer 5

Since you started your period so young you probably havent got a regular cycle going yet, so it should be nothing to worry about. But if you are really freaked out about it, definatly talk to a doctor or some other adult you trust to help you get more info.

Answer 6

No. Unless you experience severe pain or your periods become very irregular, there's no need to worry. Your period can be very unpredictable the first few years.

Answer 7

Answer 8

YOU MAY NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM. IT LOOKS PHYSIOLOGICAL. READ MORE................Human beings are born with the body organs needed for reproduction. But reproduction cannot actually occur until these organs mature. This maturation process takes place during puberty, a period in which a boy or girl goes through dramatic physical changes. These changes are regulated by certain hormones (chemicals produced by the body). Puberty begins during or just before the early teen-age years.

The reproductive systems of females and males differ greatly in shape and structure. But both systems are specifically designed to produce, nourish, and transport the eggs or sperm.

In females, the reproductive system consists primarily of a group of organs located within the pelvis. A woman or girl has external organs called the vulva between her legs. The outer parts of the vulva cover the opening to a narrow canal called the vagina. The vagina leads to the uterus, a hollow, pear-shaped, muscular organ in which a baby develops. Two small, oval organs called ovaries lie to the right and left of the uterus. The ovaries produce, store, and release eggs. These organs also produce two types of hormones-progesterone and estrogens. Eggs from the ovaries reach the uterus through tubes called fallopian tubes or oviducts.

Females produce eggs as part of a monthly process called the menstrual cycle, which begins during puberty. Each menstrual cycle, the female reproductive system undergoes a series of changes that prepares it for fertilization and pregnancy. If the egg is not fertilized, a shedding or loss of tissue in the uterus called menstruation occurs. Bleeding is associated with this process and lasts three to seven days. Menstruation marks the beginning of each menstrual cycle. Each cycle lasts about 28 days. See MENSTRUATION.

Other changes during a menstrual cycle involve cells in the ovaries called oocytes. Eggs develop from these cells. At birth, each ovary has about 400,000 oocytes. These cells remain inactive until the first menstrual cycle. Thereafter, many oocytes grow and begin to mature each month. Normally, only one oocyte in either of the ovaries reaches full maturity. This fully developed cell-the mature egg-is released from the ovary in a process called ovulation. This process occurs at about the midpoint of the menstrual cycle. After ovulation, the egg travels toward the uterus through one of the fallopian tubes by means of wavelike contractions of muscles and the beating of cilia (hairlike structures) located on cells in the walls of the oviduct. Fertilization may occur in one of the tubes. An unfertilized egg lives for about 24 hours after it leaves the ovary.

Important changes also occur in the endometrium (lining of the uterus). During the first half of the menstrual cycle, the ovaries release relatively large amounts of estrogens, which cause the endometrium to thicken. The endometrium reaches its maximum thickness at about the time of ovulation. After ovulation, the ovaries release relatively large amounts of progesterone. This hormone maintains the thickness of the endometrium, so that a fertilized egg can attach to the uterus.

If fertilization occurs, the endometrium continues to develop. If fertilization does not occur, the egg breaks down and the production of progesterone decreases. The thickened endometrium also breaks down and passes out of the body during menstruation.

Most women produce eggs until the ages of about 45 to 55, when the menstrual cycles become increasingly infrequent and then stop. This period of a woman's life is called menopause. The completion of menopause marks the end of a woman's natural childbearing years.

Answer 9

No, i dont believe so. When you are young, your period is irregular. Just talk to your doctor or an older person you trust.

Answer 10

No, Honey, there isn't. My period was all messed up when I first got it... Its just your body's way. Talk to your mom or the school nurse. Don't be embarrassed, that's what they are there for.
