You should see another doctor. When ever you see a doctor who makes light of your concerns, it's time to get another doctor. Your cycle is clearly atypical - this may turn out to be normal for you, but you should get another opinion to be sure. And, a doctor should EXPPLAIN why your cycle is so different than the average person's.
Also, consider reading "Our Bodies, Ourselves". It's a great reference book for women. Here's a link to their website. It has a lot of useful information on women's health.

Good luck.

You need to be seen by the doc to find out what is going on. After the first year your periods should be pretty regular. You should have seen the doc about this a long time ago but since you didn't now is the time to see your doc and get this checked out.

I knew a girl who missed hers often, and it was normal for her, but the only reason it was normal for her was because she was an anorexic runner. Do you talk to your Mom about how this concerns you? And your doctor? You could ask your doctor if putting you on a form of birth control, the pill, would help regulate you...well would help get you do have a regularly sheduled period.

I had the exact same issue I started my period when i was 9 and my periods were very irregular. when I went to the gyno i was 16 and they did hormone test on me and I have a hormonal issue so they had to give me pills besides birth control to regularize my periods but the doc said it could also be since I was anemic and kinda anorexic but he said it also develops if Ur overweight, underweight, and sometimes its genetic. So def go to the gyno and request test be done. Good look girlie!!

Wow, I envy you, not getting your period often! The first thing I want to ask you is if you a very active. I am a USAG gymnast, and when I work out harder than usual, I usually don't get my period because my body responds to the sudden need energy by using the blood, ect. from my period to help keep my body in regular, working order. If you are very active, than usually you wont get your period. It is nothing to worry about, I didn't get my period until I was 14, so its okay, your not the only one out there!

Go to your doctor. Tell him/her, they can regulate you by putting you on the pill (for hormone replacement therapy ((HRT)), of course), i'm 16 and have NEVER had it, I have GHD though...my doc today gave me a prescription for Alesse, supposedly it regulates you. I don't start it until Jan.1, but sounds like it will work. I would def. ask your doctor about that. You could have problems with your ovaries also, mine are damaged from chemo, so I can never ovulate. But that's probably not your case, I would definitely go check with your doctor though about HRT. I hope this information may help you!!

It is abnormal to have period almost once a year. You may be malnutrition, uterus problem or some other health problem. Better make an appointment to see gynecologist to have a check up. If you ignore your problem, you may have more serious health problem in future.

change your doctor...it it not normal you need to have a regular period. this could affect your chances of having kids later on. if you are over/under weight it could be irregular but you need to be put on somekind of medication to regulate it or you wont be able to have kids in the future if it gets too serious!

You need to see your GP. I had a friend with very similar symptoms and it turned out she had polycystic ovaries. I don't mean to alarm you but I really think you should see a doctor
