Answer 1

The medical term to describe what you're experiencing is "Amenorrhea". If you go three months without a period, and are not sexually active- and no male semen has touched the opening of your vagina- while you have no concerns about pregnancy you will need to see a doctor. Here are some causes (other than pregnancy, birth control or breast feeding) that can cause you to miss a period.
Stress
Poor nutrition
Depression
Certain drugs
Extreme weight loss
Over-exercising
Ongoing illness
Sudden weight gain or being very overweight (obesity)
Hormonal imbalance due to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
Thyroid gland disorders
If you are having some bleeding- but just enough to notice when you wake up in the morning- it's still possibly a period. You may be experiencing irregular periods, which could also be caused by a number of things. Your best bet is to talk to your mom/dad or guardian and tell them you think something is wrong. Don't be suprised when the doctor requires a pregnancy test. It's standard procedure. Good luck!

Answer 2

it could be a number of things, your body is going through lots of changes right now. your horomone levels are going all over the place. if you are not sexually active then you are not pregnant.... and props to you... other girls your age should take some tips. more than likely your missed period is due to something minor, however, you should bring it up to a parent or even a school nurse or councelor. it could also mean that you have some sort of infection that just simply needs an antibiotic.... it is nothing major im sure so just relax. bring it up to someone that can get you checked out at the doctor. ill keep you in my thougths and prayers.

Answer 3

Don't worry so much! You're obviously not pregnant. I had problems with my period when I was that young, too (except mine lasted for months straight...yours went a better way!). Your period isn't really well-established yet, and it probably just changing a little bit. Also, if you play a lot of sports, it can change your period (that's what happened to me). I wouldn't worry unless you miss it for a month or two, then get to the doc and see what's going on. It really is normal at 14 for your period to be screwy, though.

Answer 4

your still in the age of what i call "carzy body". Yoru hormoes are just probably leveling otu with a growth spert that you are having. its very common. I would skip mne for a few months then get it twice in the same month. Its ust hormoes. Its NOT an emergency. As long as you are, as hopfully remain a virgin, than pregnancy is NOT an issue. If your realyl concerned abotu it, talk to your mom, she'll probably yake you to the doc and they might consider birth control pills to make you a little more regular. They might not put you on BC because of your age, but it depends on your doc. If they dont than its just something you may have to live with for a little while. Good luck, adn relax, enjoy being young!!!!

Answer 5

If you know you're not pregnant then why the emergency? It's not anything to panic about. The more you stress the later your period will be. Sometimes young girls periods are irregular for a while. I don't know how long you've been getting your period but it's ok. There are a lot of things that can affect your period. Talk to your mom.

Answer 6

Honey calm down, when we get totally stessed out it will stop your period...the body uses all it has to calm down the stress knowing how dangerous it is to have heavy stress...sometimes in the menstral cycle this happens alot more than you think. Sometimes the body doesnt have enough hormones to start the period...or you didnt ovulate which means the egg didnt get released so the body didnt prepair for it...you might want to take some black cohosh root to get your hormones in order..you say your periods last a week, they should only be about 3 to 4 days..so you might be irregular, every women in my family is irregular, mine used to come every 6 months for two weeks then it got to every three years for three weeks, but this was normal for me, I have had two girls and am now going thru menapause...so dont panic...normal is a very loose term when it comes to your period, make sure your drinking lots of water and dont stress so much...it will come back..

Answer 7

I don't think you should be so concerned. Your body is still adjusting to acting like an adult and part of the adjustment is figuring out what your cycle will be like. If you have a lot of extra stress in your life or have made major changes in your diet or lifestyle then you might be affecting your cycle. Give it some time to normalize. I would strongly recommend you discuss this with a trusted adult, maybe your mom, a friend's mom, or even calling a nurse hotline (look it up in your local phone book). Best wishes.

Answer 8

well it could just be stress or your body could still be changing. your only 14 so your period might not be "normal" yet. If you are on any medications or doing any heavy exercise that could cause the spotting too. If it keeps happening or is really concerning you, go to the gynocologist. its always good to go when you start your period anyway, just for a check up. I'm sure its nothing to be worried about. Good luck!

Answer 9

What's happening? Likely, nothing! It is normal for periods to be erratic in young teenage females, and the spotting, unless accompanied by lower abdominal pain, is likewise normal. Other factors are; weight, diet, activity level, and general health. If you have no other health issues, and are not obese, this could just be normal variations of your hormonal levels. If it continues for more than 2 months, or you are experiencing pain, discomfort, fever, unusual bleeding or discharge, contact your health care professional immediately. A simple examination can find out everything you need to know. If you are in doubt, see your health care professional.

Answer 10

Periods really don't become 'regular' for quite a few years after you start. I started at 13 years old but didn't get regular periods until I was 16 or 17. Even now, I'm not always regular. Relax, I'm sure everything is fine! :)
