Answer 1

When you first begin bleeding it can be quite irregular, so I wouldn't worry, it sounds all normal to me. That being said, have you lost a lot of weight lately? Women athletes stop bleeding due to lack of body fat.
You can't be pregnant, if you've never had intercourse.
Your mom is the best resource person to talk to, she will be able to tell you what is normal for your family. :)

Answer 2

In a perfect world every girl would begin their period unproblematically and continue to have a regular, better than clockwork, monthly appearance of menses. However, this is far from the real situation. The commencement of mensese, also known as menarche, is quite complex because many hormones are at play. However, the human body is capable of reproducing these changes monthly with unbelievable fidelity.

The onset of menarche at normal age is usually a new semi-traumatic experience for the human body. Suddently, hormonal flucutuances occur rapidly, with monthly shedding of endometrium, leading to an uncompensated blood loss on a regular basis. The ovaries, once partially inert, now begin to function as hormonaes from your pituitary gland begin to increase. At this point, it is not uncommon for the ovaries to require some time to achieve the ultimate periodicity.

However, in spite of the normalcy of having abnormal periods, there are some other causes that could merit a bit more study. If you have not yet had your period, it's probably because you had no ovulation, although not certainly, because, there's always the chance of pregnancy, which you've already discarded as impossible. Common causes of long, abnormal, and heavy periods are many but one of the most common is obesity.

Obese females have extra estrogen floating around, which gets converted into testosterone, a male hormone; these two features interfere with normal pituitary function and also lead to ovary abnormal function. Individuals present now only with obesity and abnormal periods, but also some extra hair growth, acne, etc. These features would be easily counteracted with weight loss, if such is the case.

Other serious, unlikely causes include early ovarian failure, which occur often in females with Turner's syndrome, a chromosomal abnormality. Anatomic changes are unlikely in your case because you have had your period before.

Finally, one other major cause of loss of period is a high level of prolactin in your body. High prolactin is produced by your pituatiry gland, which respondes to your hypothalamus. And let's just say that your hypothalamus is very sensitive to how nutrient-deprived your body is in. Females who engage in excessive dieting and weight loss activities, i.e. exercise excessively will lose their periods as a result of pituitary dysfunction and high levels of prolactin.

I hope this helps; it is a bit wordy, but the juice of the physiology & pathophysiology of secondary amenorrhea.

Take a deep breath and don't worry. The same thing happened to me when I was 14. The first few years you have your period it will be irregular. Just be prepared, b/c when that happened to me, I got it really badly on the fourth month. So don't be scared; nothing is wrong. :)

Answer 4

It's pretty normal at your age to be irregular. Try not to worry about it. You can probably call your doctor's office and ask if the doctor thinks it's anything worth making an appointment for.

Answer 6

You're fine. It is normal for your first year to be irregular.
I had my first period on my 13th birthday. I didn't have my second period until a year laer.

Periods settle by the time you're 17, so yes, you'll be able to have babies when you're an adult.
