i'm 15.. almost 16 i've had my period for about 2 1/2 years. and It usually does jump around quite a bit. but usually only by about a couple days or a week. I'm not sexually active so I don't know what else to think? could I still be irregular because of my age? or is something else wrong?

Honey, it's time to see an OBGYN doctor who specialises in
female reproductive organs. You should have seen a special-
ist before this if you haven't been regular. It is probably due to
a fluctuation of hormones. It can happen at any age, really.
But you will need to see a doctor to help you get back on
track. So you'll feel better, if you don't now. And you can also
plan on when you will be in your period, to counter any
accidents down the road. That could be embarrassing.
Tell your mom to make an appointment for you with your
primary or family doctor and he can refer you toa Gynecol-
ogist, who looks into such things on a daily basis. Don't be afraid to get help. We all need some at one time or another.

its probably most likely stress. stress shuts down the body so more sleep and less things on your mind would help also unhealthy food cause irregular periods so more vegetables and lean meat . this not only helps you eat healthier but it also keeps you from going underweight which also, can cause irregular periods ...... don't worry this happens to every girl with their period some ppl are even late for a month and nothing happens . you will regulate differently from time to time so just forget about it and it'll come when it comes

I've been there. I was irregular w/ my periods until I started taking birth control in 1999. Then I could count exact days from the last day of one to the first day of the next. It never failed. But please don't start taking birh control to regulate it. Another thing could be stress. If it's not your age or stress, I would go see a doctor. Hope this helps.

Probably just irregular because of your age and some stress you may be going through. Usually when something's wrong you'll bleed a lot more than normal (unless a woman is going through menopause).If you're scared, though, go to the doctor to have a check-up to silence your nerves.

you could still be irregular because of your age, but it wouldn't hurt to have a check up at you family doctor to make sure.
Anything can cause your period to come late ..like a change in your environment..Did you move lately? OR perhaps you are under stress, due to bad grades, a lost relationship, something really sad happened....your body is still growing

Stress can cause the period to be late..... there are some other medical issues that does that too. Just relax, it will come. If it doesnt come the next month, check in with your GYN doctor to get examined.
hope that helps!

Its most likely your age. Stress, caffiene and other environmental and food-related factors can be involved.
If you are underweight, you may stop having periods because you lack enough body fat.
If you are still worried, it is not too early to set up your first appoinment with an OB/GYN

Yes, you could be irregular because of your age; but this is something that should be discussed with your physician.
