i am 15, i got my period the day before yesterday (late bloomer, i know) just wondering a few things?

Question

do you think it will become regular straight away or will that take a few months, i'm not sure if i'm really even counting on it to come back for a while cause i've always been a skinny kid so yea....

p.s. don't ask me to ask my mom, she died when i was 5 and i'm hardly going to ask my dad!

Answer 1

I was also a late bloomer myself and also very thin.I started mine @ the age of 14 and it started out as a regular thing for me,although everyone is different.
A good idea is to write down on your own personal calendar the day you start and the day you end.This way you keep up with your body and its functions.Midol or advil for cramps and a heating pad helps as well.Chocolate should be in moderation otherwise you may break out.
Welcome to womanhood it can be a pain but such is life for a woman:)

Blessed Be,

Hey Annie, thanks for your question. I hope that being a father with a teenage daughter, and also being an RN, that I can give you some information that will help you out a little as well as relieve someof your fears and worries..OK? First, there really isnt any magical time period for when you should have have your first period. Obviously, if you dont have one until you are in your 20's, we might begin to wonder, but 10-16 is ok, and congratulations..you are perfectly normal!!! Nothing to worry about!!! Since this was your first period, I would give you self a few more periods to get an estimation of what might be your window of future periods. You might ket a notebook, and keep track of the date your next period starts and you first notice bleeding, and then record the date when you do not notice any more bleeding. Do this for for at least 3 periods, and then notice the days. I think you will find out, that over time, you will find find some similarity of date which you began and wen you stopped that will help you discover what your dates are and which is normal for you. The onset of you period and whn it stops can be subject to many things: stress, exercise, anxiety, sickness, medication, ect. and dont always occur like clockwork. So dont be surprised if you are not always regular....no girl is. The main thing is that you have started, and have entered into a new phase of your life. May it be one that is happy for you and full of all good things!!!

Answer 3

Everybody is different sweetie. You may have a normal period after this or you may not. Some girls miss periods a lot during the first year or so, some are regular like clock work. No one's periods last the same as anyone elses either. You may have them from 3 to 7 days. No one can tell you exactly what your body will do. Not even a Dr. Some women never have regular periods. Mine used to change the number of days inbetween each period every year. One year there may have been 28 days between, the next year it might be 31. Even when you go into menopause will be different, even from your mothers if she were still alive. Even she couldn't have told you what will happen because you are you and unique.

Answer 4

It just depends on the individual for a period to become regular. some don't become regular for many months!
Maybe you'll get it for a month.. .then two months will pass with nothing.. then you'll get it again....
sometimes it really just takes your body some getting used to.
Don't listen to people when they say poor baby and stuff... This is a natural part of life and is cause for miracles to happen in the future... if i were you i would definately NOT even think going on birth control right away. It is not necessary because of course your body is in shock... it will bleed for 5 days in a row every month now!
Just give it some time! If you would like support I would suggest talking with your dad (even if it is a little uncomfortable at first) if you still don't want to do that... really talk to your school nurse, or an aunt, heck... you could even talk to a grandma, or a female neighbor that you're comfortable with!
Good luck with everything... don't feel discouraged.. and like I said.. it's a normal part of life!

Answer 5

Lucky you I stated at the age of 9yrs. My mom wasn't around at the time but I use to read alot about those stuff before and of course my mom would in form me about all those stuff due to the fact I was always asking questions. Your period may continue to be regular as well as it might change to irregular some time down the road.You should always keep track of when it starts to the day it ends. That will help you to see if you are regular or not. Some women see their periods for 5-6days, some maybe more. Your period should arrive every 28days. if it's less you might be irrregular. Still the best place to go and ask questions,is your gyneocologist,or your family doctor, even your guidance councellor at school(if you feel comfortable discussing that with him or her, guidance councellor I mean).
Ps. If you should start having intimate relation with anyone(I'm sure you know what I mean by intimate relation), it is even more important to keep track, and keep notes of how you are feeling and do your research. Ask your doctors questions.
GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 6

Everyone varies a little in your situation. But I will say if you are in contact with other female relatives you might want to ask them some questions because sometimes in your family someone may have a similar situation (usual your not the 1st). If no female member is available that you are comfortable with see out a school counselor. I will also suggest that since your just starting out keep a personal calendar and keep track of when you begin and end your menstrual cycle. This will help you as far as when your cycle is and if at some point it is irregular it makes it easy to respond to some questions that your doctor may have if you choose to see them to help you with options on making yor menstrual cycle regular. If you choose not to go to a doctor you can also use I believe it called evening primrose to help bring your cycle down. Oh, and don't doubt your dad some men do know a thing or two.

Answer 7

Hey Annie, first of all there are plenty of books on the subject in the library ( under Anatomy and Physiology ) and information through websites like WebMd.com but to answer you question your periods will become more regular with time and girls who are thin and underweight tend to start their periods later in life. Usually after the first year, your periods will more regulated and have a regular pattern to it. The best advice is to see a gynecologist as soon as you can and sooner if you are already sexually active. Try your best to talk to your dad, be patient with him and tolerable of him. He is your dad.

Answer 8

Mine didn't come regular straight away... it'll take a few months cos your hormones are all out of wack and your body is getting used to having it. If it doesn't become regular after a couple of months try going on the pill. Don't be fooled-- even the skinniest girls get their periods every month!!! Unless they're binge eating and anorexic... which i'm sure you're not!!! *HUGS* and congrats on becoming a woman!!

Answer 9

Honestly, this is a wait-and-see type of thing. Some people start out regular, and some people are never regular. Best advice that I can give you until you know what your body is doing, is to always keep tampons and pantyliners in your purse. Unfortunately, I can't give you a much better answer than that.

Answer 10

You may never become regular. I am 25 and only have become regular in the last year, after having my first child I went on birth control and that helped. It really all depends on your family history - but you might not be able to find that out due t you situation. You can always talk to a doctor - and ask him/her about birth control to fix the problem. Good luck.
