Lately I have been sick...so i went to the doctor he asked about my period and i said it was really irregular, so he gave me this shocked look and made me take a urine sample...he said he couldn't find anything but i must get blood tests done right away, i told my mom and she said she would take me to get the blood tests done when I could get in and take me the gynecologist as soon as she found the right one for me...but im only 14 i thought it was normal for irregular periods when you first start ( i got it at 11 ) but another thing is i have really really bad discharge and it smells...not normal lol and makes me itch alittle...okay so my question is why are the making a big deal out of me being sick to my period?? im kinda scared!!

Because your period started at 11 and you are now 14 your periods should be regular now. I think it's a good idea to go see a gynecologist. I would recommend a female one because I think you'll feel more comfortable with one.
As for the discharge it sounds like you might have an infection going on there. Pls have your Pediatrician check the discharge out to see what kind of an infection this could be. Some types of infections such as to the cervix can cause bleeding as well.
I have had a lot of problems in the past with cervical infections and one of the symptoms I got during the period of 2003-2005 before I finally had it taken care of was irregular bleeding that would be a lot like a period.
Feel free to e-mail or IM me any time if you have more questions.

Irregular periods are a symptom of low progesterone the last half of your cycle. You can try a progesterone cream on days 15-26 of your cycle, with day 1 being your period. Pro-Gest is a brand you may be able to find locally.
When taking progesterone cream start out low and increase base on your symptoms.
Example:
1/4 tsp days 15-26
if you still have symptoms of low progesterone
add a second dose of 1/4 tsp.
Keep increasing by each dose by 1/4 until you feel better.
The goal is to take as little as possible, because if you take too much progesterone will convert over to estrogen.
The best book on hormones is by Steven Hotze.

that's because u have inflammation and i guess cos u started having irregular periods it means it went up to your ovaries. this is very very not good. honey. next time u have discharge u tell your mommy. this is very serious now, i hope she will take u as fast as she can to blood test, cos u need to start antibiotics treatment right away. inflammation can become chronic if untreated, your tubes will get clogged with it and u won't be able to have children. tell your mother go to blood test first thing on monday
about irregular periods - u can have irregular periods when u start, in your case at 11, maybe at 12. but not any more. after a year periods should become regular

Periods can sometimes be a real pain. They can make you feel sick. They can give you a headache. They can make your stomach ache. Yes, periods can be a real pain, and things can be even worse if they decide to become irregular. Irregular periods are one of the most common menstrual complaints around. Usually, irregular periods are nothing to worry about, but on occasion, they can signal health complications

Maybe it's a yeast infection. Doctors and parents freak out because.... that's what they do! Drink cranberry juice for a week. If it doesn't stop. as a doctor.
