Answer 1

Dont worry, it is normal. Some women have only 8 periods during a year. You seem to have mental strain/stress.

Take a look at the Natural Cures, it helps you.

Amenorrhea or stoppage of menstrual flow: Stoppage of menstruation is natural during pregnancy and at the menopause, but abnormal at any other time. It is true that some women have very infrequent periods but this seems to be peculiar to their particular type and cannot be termed as stoppage. If, however, the periods have been quite regular for a number of years and then suddenly stop or the cycle becomes frequently interrupted, it denotes a debilitated and devitalized condition of the system, especially of the sex organ. Causes contributing towards this condition are anemia, worry, grief, fright or other serious emotional disturbances, malformation of the womb, tuberculosis, displacement of womb and debility, especially after a serious illness. The treatment for amenorrhea should be directed towards the rectification of the disease-condition responsible for causing the trouble in the first place. Along with this, a course of general health-building treatment should also be carried out. If serious emotional disturbance has caused the trouble, an initial period of quietness and rest is essential to the treatment. All excitement, excessive mental strain and study should be avoided for a considerable period.

Treatment: The various disorders relating to menstrual flow are indicative of the low level of a woman’s health and a toxic condition of her sex organism, which has been brought about by wrong habits of living, especially wrong dietary habits. These disorders are made more deep-seated and chronic by modern medical efforts to deal with them through the suppressive agency of surgery and drugs. The disorders being systemic in origin can be tackled only by treating the system as a whole so as to remove the toxicity from the body and build up the general health-level of the sufferer.

To undertake such a scheme of all round health-building treatment, the sufferer from menstrual disorders should begin with an all-fruit diet for about five days. In this regimen, the patient should have three meals a day of fresh, juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, papaya, oranges, pineapple, peaches and melon. No other foodstuff should be taken; otherwise the value of the whole treatment will be lost. However, if there is much weight loss on the all-fruit diet, those already underweight may add a glass of milk to each fruit meal. During this period the bowels should be cleansed daily with a warm water enema.

After the all-fruit diet, the sufferer should adopt a well-balanced diet on the following lines:

Upon rising: A glass of lukewarm water mixed with the freshly squeezed juice of half a lime and a spoon of honey.
Breakfast: Fresh fruits such as apple, orange, grapes, papaya, banana and milk.
Lunch: A bowl of freshly prepared steamed vegetable such as carrot, cabbage, cauliflower, squash, and beans, two or three whole wheat chappatis.
Mid-afternoon: A glass of carrot juice or sugarcane juice.
Dinner: A large bowl of fresh green vegetable salad using all available vegetable such as carrot, cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes, radish, red beets and onion and mung bean sprouts.
Bedtime snack: A glass of fresh milk or an apple.

The diet factor is of the utmost importance. Fruits and salads, nature’s body-cleansing and health-restoring foods, must form the bulk of the future diet along with whole grains, nuts, and seeds, especially in sprouted forms. Frequent small meals should be taken instead of few large ones to prevent low blood sugar which is common during menstruation. The foods which should be avoided in future are white-flour products, sugar, confectionery, rich cakes, pastries, sweets, refined cereals, flesh foods, rich, heavy, or greasy foods, tinned or preserved foods, strong tea, coffee, pickles, condiments, and sauces. Smoking, if habitual, should be given up completely as it aggravates menstrual disorders.

A further short period on all-fruit, say two or three consecutive days can be undertaken at monthly intervals, according to the need of the case. The morning dry friction and cold hipbaths should form a regular feature of the treatment. All cold baths should, however, be suspended during the menstrual period.

Certain remedies have been found useful in menstrual disorders. Cooked banana flower eaten with curd is one of the more important of such remedies. The banana flower appears to increase progesterone hormone and reduce the bleeding.

Beet juice has been found very effective for menstrual disorders. It should be used in small quantities of 60 to 90 grams, at a time two or three times a day in these conditions. Coriander seeds are highly beneficial in the treatment of excessive menstruation. Six grams of these seeds should be boiled in half a litre of water. It should be taken off the fire when only half the water remains. Sugar candy should be added to it and the patient should drink it when it is still warm.

Ginger has been useful in menstrual disorders. A piece of fresh ginger should be pounded and boiled in a cupful of water for few minutes. The infection sweetened with sugar should be used thrice daily after meals as a medicine for dysmenorrhea, and amenorrhea due to exposure to cold winds and taking cold baths.

Sesame seeds are also useful in menstrual disorders. Half a teaspoonful of powder of these seeds taken with hot water twice daily acts excellently in reducing spasmodic pain during menstruation in young unmarried anemic girls. Its regular use, two days prior to the expected periods, cures scanty menstruation. Warm hipbath containing a handful of bruised sesame seeds should be simultaneously taken along with this receipt.

Safflower seeds have also been found to be beneficial in the treatment of painful menstruation. A decoction prepared by boiling two teaspoonfuls of powdered seeds in 120 ml. of water should be given as a remedy for this condition. Dried flowers mixed with confection of rose can also be given as a medicine for this purpose.

Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Sounds like you have a lot going on in your life at the moment. Any one of these could be stressful. Stress will affect your cycle so try to find ways of relaxing and be aware of how your body is reacting to stress. You are pretty new in your cycles and it can also take a while to settle into a pattern.

Very few people have 28 day cycles and often people are irregular. If you are concerned, go and talk to your GP. This is especially important if you have severe pain, uncomfortable discharge (itchy or smelly) or severe bleeding.

Give it a little time for your cycles to sort themselves out and try not to worry too much. Sometimes worrying about it will make it even worse!

I would enjoy the peace and quiet while you have it! They soon get boring and annoying!

Answer 3

It may be because of all the the stress you are under, try to relax and not worry too much about some things, it is not healthy for a young girl to be so stressed, you should be enjoying your life, adults will do as they please even if it hurts their loved ones. Is your dad, after remarrying still care about you? You must know that he is entitled to his happiness too, as long as you are treated okay by your dad and new step-mom try to see things through his eyes.Do you live with your or your mom? As you get older you will understand more about life, can you talk to your real mom? I know because my parents were separated when I was very young also, but I saw that my mom was much happier when she remarried and things did work out. I don't know your situation as how you live with and how your step mom is dealing with this also. try to take it easy and things may look different in a little while as you get used to the changes in your life. I'm sure that when you try to relax your period will become normal again, the body can handle just so much before it goes hay-wire.You can see a doctor that be able to explain things better then I can, it should help, or try talking to some close family or your mom.

Answer 4

You are getting used to your sex hormones. Don't worry, only wait at least three months of no periods to ask for a gynecological checkup.

Sorry about your mother, hope you get used to your stepmother and vice versa so there can be a better relationship between you two.

Answer 5

Relax, it's reallly actually normal for your period to be irregular during the first few years of you having it, but if you feel that there's something wrong with you I think you should should talk to your gyno

Answer 6

You should go see your doctor, but stress and your age is probably the reason. Your body is still trying to regulate yourself, and it sounds like you have a lot going on.

Answer 7

you're only fourteen, and since you've never had sex, its not to worry. being a teen, your hormones are still very unstable, and so is your period. but that's not to worry, because as you get older, your body will get more stable and soon you'll figure out your period cycle. i've had similar experience. :)

Answer 8

my mom said that the first year is always unstable as you really dont know when u might get it--that's what was happening to me--and it was really scary if i got it in school and had it
so chill and dont worry--your period will become regular after june--be sure to mark your dates so u know
hope that helped :]
