I am 15 and i started my period two summers ago. It still is not regular every month. Should i be worried?

Answer 1

Nope! You're period is irregular for at least 2 years after you've started, and even after that a small handful of people still have irregular periods. I'm one of those people! If you're very worried, ask your mom or a female influence and just ask them to take you to the doctor and you guys can sort it out.

Answer 2

Some girls' periods arrive like clockwork. Others get theirs at slightly different times each month. Many girls get regular periods most of the time, but occasionally skip a period or get an extra period during times of pressure or stress. In fact, you may notice that when you go on a trip or have a major change in your schedule your period is late. All of this is perfectly normal.

It's also normal for the number of days a girl has her period to vary. Sometimes a girl may bleed for 2 days, sometimes it may last a week. That's because the level of hormones the body manufactures can be different from one cycle to the next, and this affects the amount and length of bleeding.

So how can you tell when you're about to get your period? If your cycle is not regular, you'll want to pay attention to the clues your body may give you. These include:

back cramps or stiffness
heavier breasts or breast soreness
headaches
acne breakouts
disturbed sleep patterns
mood swings
bloating
Most of the time, irregular periods are part of the normal changes that can happen when you're a teen. At some point as you grow, your cycle will probably settle into a recognizable pattern. This usually happens by 3 years after your first period.

However, some teens may develop irregular periods — or stop having periods altogether — as a result of certain medications, excessive exercise, very low body weight, or not eating enough calories. Others may develop problems as a result of a hormone imbalance. For example, disorders of the thyroid gland can cause menstrual irregularities if the levels of thyroid hormone in the blood become too low or too high.

Answer 3

Not necessarily because it can take 1-2 years usually to regulate your period but if your worried, go talk to your gynocoligst. If your pretty knew to this, I have a few tips that you might be able to use, otherwise, I wasted a lot of time typing it for nothing!
1. When your inserting a tampon, and your sitting down, push the tampon in towards the wall behind you, because when your sitting down, your vagina is bent and so if you push the tampon in straight up, you'll bump the vaginal walls, thus causing mild discomfort.
2. Remember to change your tampon every 4-6 hours, as not to contract TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome)
3. It's a good idea to take a shower every day during your period to keep your vagina clean from any bacteria that may start to grow from the wet, warm enviroment.
4. Have a fun time with your period, and enjoy life the way it was before your period started! Hope this helps,

Answer 4

I've had my period for 3 1/2 years and it's still irregular. Don't worry about it, you're fine. I'm not sure why it's taking me so long to get regular, though. It's honestly all over the place lol.

Answer 5

What do you mean by not regular? Periods can last from between 2 to 8 days. Some women experience light periods, other heavy. Periods normally occur approx every 28 days. Make sure your diet is adequate and that you get plenty of sleep and exercise.
