Okay I`m 15 and a half years old I`m pretty sure I had my last period MORE then a month ago, and now i`m waiting for my regualr next one but it has`nt come yet and I am worried. I don`t think I could be pregnant because I have NEVER had sex or anything like that. But I have been excercising more like everyday and eating a little less is that why my period hasnt come yet but i havent really lost much weight maybe a pound or two

A wide variety of factors can be responsible for irregular periods, among them:
Significant weight gain or loss
Over-exercise
Poor nutrition (or a diet too high in carbohydrates)
Smoking
Drug use
Caffeine
Excessive alcohol use (interfering with how the liver metabolizes estrogen and progesterone)
Eating disorders
Increased stress
Polycystic ovarian syndrome/estrogen dominance
Uterine abnormalities (fibroids/cysts/polyps/endometriosis)
Hormonal imbalance related to perimenopause
Medications
Chemotherapy
Recent childbirth, miscarriage, or D&C
Breastfeeding
As you can see, there are many different ways a woman can be irregular for as many different reasons, and it can be very confusing when it happens.
Being 15 just might play a factor, your body is still growing, still adjusting and finding its way through puberty.

That is perfectly normal for the first year of your period. I sarted my period three months ago and my period is completely wack (not regular). In about a year your period will become regular. Oh and excercising does put it off for a while. Im a cheerleader and I made my highschool cheer team right after I sarted my period. Afterwards, I did not have it for three months. I went to my doctor and she said it was perfectly normal. And worrying about it may delay it even more. So relax, and take a deep breath. Now go enjoy being young!

it doesnt get regular til about 16 months after your first period, and still after that it can be irregular. im sure your fine. if you dont get it in the next 2 months talk to your doctor and talk about possibly being put on birth control to help regulate your period.

Doing a lot of exercise and changing one's diet to lose weight can cause the period to be delayed. Please let your mom know what is going on as well so that she can help you keep an eye on this situation.

i wouldnt worry about it if it is still 2 years since your first one then it is completely normal if it isnt its still probably ok but if it doesnt come in longer than like 65 days check with a doc
