Answer 1

honey, take a deep breath...

you're young, and that means the body takes time getting into the swing of things. also, take into account your environment: stress, work, school, etc. are sometimes factors of making your body go off the "normal cycle". *and the more you stress out waiting for it, sometimes the longer it takes before it starts again...personal experience...*

frankly, what i used to do before i was able to "regulate" my cycle, i would count about 30 - 32 days after the last day i had one. that would give me an estimate of when to expect it. i wish i could be of more help...

Answer 2

Your period is usually based on a 28 day cycle, so if your last period started on February 5th, you wouldn't have another one until March 5. However, it is quite common to have irregular periods. If you're not sexually active, most likely you're just as normal as the next girl.

If you go 60 days without a period, go see your doctor just to make sure everything's okay. You can actually skip a period if you've been extrememly active or have had a large weight gain or loss. One of these factors might be affecting you.

Answer 3

It's better to think of your cycles as lengths of time, not "on a certain date" - if your last period was 2 weeks late, that meant your cycle was about 6+ weeks instead of your normal 4. So, your next one will probably be anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks after the last one started. (This is all assuming you aren't on birth control and aren't sexually active.)

There is a really excellent book called "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. Don't let the title or the family planning aspect scare you away. It has some really good information about how your "girl parts" work and why your cycle is the way it is and how to monitor what your body is doing.

Answer 4

It's usually about every 28 days. If you had yours on the 5th of February, then your next should be around March 5th the next time since February only has 28 days. Good luck and hope this helps!

Answer 5

Hi
It is not unnatural for your cycles to be irregular when you are young and there is nothing wrong with you. When I first started my periods they were very irregular anywhere from 19 days to 43 days apart. Stress can change period cycles in most women, but especially young women. It is also not uncommon in younger women to be regular with their periods and then change.
As long as you are not at risk of pregnancy, try not to worry about the delay in getting your period, as this too may cause the delay.
If you are still very worried, try and speak to a doctor or nurse that you trust and they will help set your mind at ease.
Good luck, but remember there is nothing wrong with you because your period is irregular.

Answer 6

Um...sometimes your body does wierd things. I once had a period for three weeks and then didn't have one for a few months. Your body might have reset itself or gotten off track. If you have been stressed or doing stuff out of the ordinary, that might explain things. There are a lot of possiblities. If it continues to be irregular, just talk to your doctor. He may have a better explanation. Much love!!!!!

Answer 7

If you're only 16, you most likely have absolutely nothing to worry about. It can take several years to become regular, even if you are "regular" for a year or so, your cycle can change.

Answer 8

If you are exercising too much or are not eating enough, your period will be irregular.

Answer 9

do you think you are pregnant? you could be. But if that's not possible then don't worry about it periods act up all the time

Answer 10

don't stress, that's probably normal!
