I dont know whats wrong with my body, but my period has been coming at different times now... Ive had it for about 3 years already, its always been normal, but in march it started coming at different times.
Also, down there it smells different now, and its stronger (the smell)...
Im afraid to go to the doctors cause my mom is going to find out everything. Im 16 and i dont want them to ask me about my sexual life.
I havent really had sex yet, but ive done other stuff with my boyfriend... or Exboyfriend now.
Oh and i get pain sometimes like by my abdomen.
what could it be?

The smell is what discourages me. Smell is something that isn't healthy. Don't be afraid of visiting your doctor, just have your mom wait in the lobby, explaining to her, that you're old enough to see your doctor on your own. Also, when visiting your doctor, with or without your mother, ALWAYS be honest.
If you're somewhat sexually active, I recommend at least talking to your mother about it, if it's too uncomfortable then just at least be honest with your physician.

I would go to the doc, as you may have an infection. If you havn't had unprotected intercourse then I doubt it's an STD. There isn't a test to find out if you're "played around" with your boyfriend. Chances are if you have been abstinent, it's just your body changing. If the "odor" you smell is "fishy" or "foul" smelling, it's probably a bacterial infection or bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial infections are quite common in women/girls. They are more common than a yeast infection, so don't worry. A bacterial infection is unpredictable, and docs don't know what causes it. but, what they do know is it comes from your pH levels changing from various sources such as new sexual partner or taking a bath. Bacterial Vaginosis is treated with a strong antibiotic such as Flagyl. Either way, go to the doc, get it checked out.
As far as the irregular periods, I wouldn't worry about it just yet. You're still young and it could just be trying to "cycle" itself out. I would worry if it persists for the next couple of years and you're cycle comes around every 3-4 months then. But for now, worry about the possible infection you might have. See a Doc.

See a doctor that you can trust to keep your information confidential. I can't diagnosis you (requires MD license!!!), but it sounds like you MIGHT have a tubal pregnancy so you really need to see a doctor and get this taken care of. Don't be scared - be SMART - see a physician.
I see you say that you "haven't really had sex yet". There are some rare circumstances where you could still get pregnant. Like I said, I can NOT diagnose you - I'm not an MD, and I don't have enough information anyway. Go see a REAL doctor very soon.

You need to see a doc and get checked out if you have vaginal odor that is different. Your parents will not find out about anything as even the doc can't tell if you have done anything sexual or not. See the doc and be safe.

abnormal bleeding could be cyst on your ovaries..that isn't good. I don't think the doctor can tell your mother about you not being a virgin if you are over 16
