I started my period about 3 years ago, 10. And it not that regular as it was before, like i was using a period predictor to see if my period comes on the day of this party im going to, which it is, but it doesnt make sense because if i look at november, its says my period start on the 11th that time instead it started on the 7th. My doctor said my cycle is 28 days, but my period is getting way off, because i used to have it around the end of the 2nd week of the month into the 3rd, but this year its switching from the 2nd week to the end of te 3rd week. Im not stress or anything.

You are young and it will fluxuate for a while longer. You might also talk to your doc to see the medicinal options that may give you more control and regularity.

First, it will take a while for your period to be truly regular. You may even be out of your teens before that happens. Second, the 28-day cycle is a general guideline, but it's not absolute. It sounds like your cycle may be a bit longer, which is perfectly normal. Some women get shorter, some get longer cycles. Mine's somewhere around five weeks when I'm not on the pill. As you grow older and your cycle stabilizes, you'll probably get pretty good at figuring out when you're due, just based on symptoms and how long it's been. It'll take a bit longer, though.

At your age, having irregular periods is normal. 28 day cycles are only 2% of women's cycle time. It may not be 28 days each month, it may vary by as much as 4-6 weeks apart. Everyone is different. I am 42 yrs old, and I have never been on schedule, except when on birth control of some sort.

Ugh, the body is a wonderful thing. LOL! Don't worry about a thing. Your period honestly has a mind of its own. I've had mine for about 8 years and for like the first 3 it was a 28 day cycle, then it went to a 31 day for awhile and now that I am regulating it with the pill, it's back to 28. Many things can affect the cycle including stress, weight, exercise, eating habits etc...Hope this helps! :)
