I'm 14, and have started missing periods ever since a few months ago. I usually have my period every 45-50 days now, instead of once every month. It's like one month I have it, one month I don't. Is this a serious problem or is it normal? (im not pregnant or anything)

Yes, as others have stated that having longer periods between your cycles is very normal. In fact, I am around 26 and I never have a constant period - it depends on your body. I have a friend that barely even had periods until she had her first child (which was years after her first period). Her doctors told her that her periods would stick to be untimely until she had her first child - which would (I know gross) open her up more way down there. Don't worry, you are completely normal. Since it is very tricky to understand everything there is to know about menustration, I have added a few good sites that I think have wonderful information that will help. Good Luck!

yes this is normal.. I didn't have normal periods for the first few years after i started. It may take your body a while to form a consistant pattern.

It would be nice to know when you first started your period, because sometimes when you start it takes a while for the body to create the monthly pattern. I don't think it is abnormal, but you should go to a gynocologist to get the real guidance. In the meantime, here's a web site you can browse through.

This is normal for about the first year or so. Even once you do get on a set cycle you can skip a month due to illness or stress.

It is normal...but, it's not very healthy. The best way to get this under control is to be on birth control. Now, I know that the second birth control is brought up to the parents, a red flag goes up and they may refuse to take you to get it (this happened to my friend). But do your research, or better yet, do it with your parents (or maybe just your mom) and discuss with them what you are going through.
