I know I'm a guy but answering this question doesn't bother me so here I go....
The first thing that could be delaying your period is how physically active you are. If you are athletic and are into a heavy workout program or are a runner and run many miles a day or just doing a lot of very physical, demanding activities that could delay or even cause your periods to stop. This is actually fairly normal for female athletes to have their periods cease during times of athletic training and/or activities and is really nothing to be concerned over.
Another cause could be your diet. If you aren't eating well you body's natural cycle could be seriously off. But I'd think if your diet is causing a delay in your period you probably will have or will end up having other physical problems with your health.
I'd also suppose you may have a disease or condition with your ovaries and/or uterus that could be causing this problems. If you are otherwise healthy and do not have any tenderness/pain in your abdomen or pubic region then I'd doubt you have any problems in this area.
Finally, you could also be pregnant. Even if you have never had intercourse, as you probably know, it is still possible to conceive. I don't want to insult your intelligence so I won't go into specifics but it can happen.
I hope my answer to your question help you find the answer you are trying to look for!
Good luck!

You need to see a doctor. It's not an emergency, but there is something EXTREMELY WRONG with your female anatomy, because it is 'normal' for a female past puberty to have a period every 28-30 days, not two six months apart. Now you say it's been nine months, and you still haven't gotten a period. It's probably just a hormone imbalance, but for your 'greater health' you need to see a doctor and be examined, and possibly given the hormones you need to have 'normal periods' ... so ask your mom to call, or you call yourself, but make an appointment, and get on your way to being in 'good health' ... you may be in 'general good health' but you aren't in 'female good health' and in women it's important to have 'both kinds of good health.'

If this is your third period, don't worry. It takes some women 1-2 years to get a regular cycle. Diet, exercise, and stress all play factors into your menstrual cycle. If you are extremely worried, go see a gynocologist, they would be the only ones that could tell you if anything is wrong.

Don't worry just go see the doctor there was a point in time when mine came every 2-3 months. Everything will be fine. Good Luck!

You are supposed to have a period every month, not every 6-8 months. You need to check with your doctor. You may be underweight or have another problem.

If you are active you should get a pregnancy test.
If you are not active you should go see your Dr. but to not have it is normal if you are underweight or if you are young. Since you are new to the period thing it may take some time for your body to balance out! Good Luck

Sounds like you're still pretty young, huh? There's probably nothing to be worried about. Sometimes it takes YEARS for your body to regulate itself so that you're having regular periods.
If you're still worried, it wouldn't hurt to just make an appointment with an obgyn. They'll probably do an exam and give you a birth control pill. BCP's help regulate your periods so you'll probably wind up having them every month like you're supposed to.
Good luck, I hope this helps!

unless you are on a birthcontrol pill that enables you to have a period this long i would seriously suggest going to the doc.your most likely going to be put on a hormon replacement plan or the pill. both wich will help you to have a normal cycle and when you quit taking them,you should have normal periods.wich is once a month..

if you are young and you just started getting it this could be perfectly normal. when i first got my period i would get it for 5 months then not have it for 5 months. if you are really concerned see a doctor.
