I am 13 years old and started my period for the first time in April. I have only had 3 periods since then. So I was wondering if there was any home remedies/natural ways to regulate yourself. And don't answer with the pill. I have also thrown my mom off balance, what's up with that. THanks! :)

I mean to say that my cycle has been totally messed up, 1st period, 24 days (lasted 5) 38 days (lasted like 14 days). I understand that for the first 2 years I will be irregular, but I need help!

That sounds about right.
You get one a month. First in April, 1 of 3 in May, 2 of 3 in June, and 3 of 3 in July.
My money says you have another one in August.

Sorry, but there isn't anything except hormonal birth control. That is the answer I never had a regular period from the time I started at 11 or 12 until I went on birth control at 17 to regulate them. Sometimes I would have 21 days between them, sometimes 10, sometimes 40, sometimes I would bleed for two weeks, sometimes just a day. That's just the way my body was. I would never know when I was going to get a period and it was just so frustrating. Birth control solved all my problems - including getting rid of the migraines that I would get when I had my period.

You body will regulate itself in due time. And as far as your mom's period being off balance, when 2 women live together or are best friends their hormones get on a regular cycle. When I was in high school, my best friend and I were always on our periods at the same time because we were together all of the time. Take care of yourself and let your body do it's thing naturally.

There is nothing natural you can do to regulate your cycle. Pills would be the ONLY way to go.
Or, give it a few years and you may regulate yourself. It DOES take a year or two to get regulated.

During their first couple months after getting their first period, girls' cycles may be irregular.
Dont worry about regulating yourself now.. it will in time. :)
You are throwing your mums cycle off because of hormones..
When a woman has her period, her body emits these hormones. If she hangs around another woman long enough, the other womans body will pick up on those hormones. Those hormones will act like a signal for her body to start her period.

There's herbs you can take to help regulate your cycle but it's nothing to worry about so there's not point fixing something that's not broke.
As far as you messing up your mother's cycle, that's actually normal. Pheromones that you release will cause her hormones to react and vice versa.
My best friend and I lived in different states for several years and had different cycles. She moved in with me for a while and our cycles synchronized to the very day.

You either have too low of a body fat percentage to have regular periods or if it isn't that, it's obviously because of how long you've had a period. Most girls take years to become regular. As for the home remedies, I have no idea.

You would probably have to ask your doc about natural ways to regulate yourself. YOu throwing your mom off balance is a simple question to answer.
When females that live close to one another and/or associate/work closely, their bodies have a tendency to "sync" themselves with the other person's cycle. It happened with me and my sister, and then me and one of my close friends. I guess it all has to do with hormones and how the other person's body reacts to them. Strange, but true. Your mom's body is simply trying to sync itself with you, meaning its trying to menstruate the same time you do. Sounds confusing, but I hope you get the general point.

You're right, I don't know the answer. You are too young to worry about how to regulate your menstrual cycle,especially since it has just begun. Don't worry you have,at least,for the next 40+ years to get it regulated.
