is it normal to skip your period?

Question

this month i didn't get my period. i usually get it in the beginning of the month but latly i have been getting it more towards the middle or both!? but this month its already the 18th and i havent gotten it. is it normal to skip a period?? or to have 2 in the same month??

Answer 1

First, you should write down the date of each period ( if & when you get another ) ... do this each month, then count the days between each period. Most women start their cycle every 21 to 28 days. So, yes, you can have 2 periods in one month. As far as not having your period this month, yes, it is rare but you can be late or skip one if you're under stress ..etc
However, more than likely, you're pregnant.
Go see your doctor, dont rely on ppl from the internet to tell you what is or isnt wrong with you!
Hope all turns out well .. take care

Answer 2

A menstral cycle is on average 28 days, but it varies from woman to woman. You shouldn't be worried. Periods sometimes come later because you're under more stress than usual, or just some lack of sleep, etc. But, if you skip more than 2 months it's better to see a doctor about it. Your period will probably come the second after you asked this question. Ha ha.

Answer 3

It is normal. You probably just have an irregular schedule right now. It will get regular. Once I skipped mine for two months. I was freaking out about it so I looked online and it says it's perfectly normal to skip one period or have more within a month. Dont worry. If you are absolutley scared or sexually active then talk to a doctor.
Hope this helped!

Answer 4

it depends on your age alot... if you just started getting your period then its normal but if u used to be regular maybe not.

im 15 and got my period when i was 12... mine still isnt regular. i could get it 30 days later to 50 days later from my last period. it kinda sucks cuz i never kno wen its gunna come and i always waste a box of tampons so i dont bleed down my leg during school. lol.

its ok though to have it be irregular... you might want to try birth control so you know when you are gong to get it... i think im going to go on it again because its just ridiculous not knowing.

dont worry though... i kno a ton of ppl with the same problem. my one friend sometimes gets it three times a month!! =/

good luck, hope everything goes to a more normal schedule.

Answer 5

Yes. A lot of women have irregular periods and they will miss a month or two from time to time. Things like stress and weight gain/loss can make you miss a period. But if you have had unprotected sex, you should take a home pregnancy test just to be sure.

Answer 6

It depends how old you are. When I got into my late teens my period changed. I have missed a few over the years. I would always suggest you go visit your doctor and have a talk to them about it. You can skip a period from stress, infections or babies. Always check with your doctor.

I am sure its just your body changing.

Answer 7

My best friend just had this problem. She missed a period for a whole month, and didn't get it until two months after her previous one. Don't worry, it's perfectly normal.

Answer 8

If you skip one one month, usually you will have 2 in the next month.

Answer 9

Yes, It could be stress, or your hormones that cause your period to skip a week or month.

Answer 10

its fine. unless it happens alot. the average amount of time between each period is 28 days but everyone is different and plenty of people have irregular cycles. it could also be a change in diet or stress.
