Ok for the last 3 months my periods have been coming anywhere from 5 to 14 days late. Then they only last 2 heavy days stop for 2 and then I spot for 2. My doctor says it's normal, I'm under alot of stress. But stress has NEVER changed my periods. I'm a little scared. I've done pregnancy tests, and I know it's not a cyst or any type of cancer. My mom had the samething but all 3 times it was due to a pregnacy. Has anyone else had this happen? If it is a pregnacy why isn't it showing on a test?, when will it show up?\nPlease help, I really don't want to go get poked and prodded by the hospitol.

Hey im 12 and got my period at your age. Wear a pad. Thats what im wearing now, Don't worry. I knew about this WAAAAY before you but we learn at diffrent ages. don't be afraid to ask your mother or another female. Even a dad or uncle is ok too. I don't get alot of cramps but I usually sleep for awhile. I have PMS thats pre menstral syndrome. That means im irritated and have symptoms earlier. Don't wear tampons at your age either. Stick with pads unless your parents say somthing. In school try to be the same as usual. You also might bloat. If period symptoms get in the way get some midol. (sp?) Also when wearing a pad try to stay away from swimming or somthing like that. For sleeping use overnight pads. If you don't have any use a normal pad and put a dark towel under you. Stay away from light clothing. If it gets stained it'll be seen like white on black. During your period wear red,dark blue,black etc. So if its stained its hard to notice. If you ever see a red stain on your pants then welcome to the woman race. Also if you have vaginal discharge (White creamy stuff) on that 'area' Then its close to coming. Be prepared. Trust me I found out I had mine because I wore a white nightgown to bed that night. I didn't know it was there until my mom literally yelled it to me infront of my brother. So if you get yours tell her. Don't make her have to shout it like its the fourth of July.  You may also get some other hormones around this time like starting to like boys. You don't have to wonder 'What the heck? I like a boy!' like I did. But don't let it get outta hand. All a period is is when an egg dies inside you. It bleeds and thats what causes a period. It isn't just blood. It can be tiny little clots of it too. This is normal to have. A period should last from 3 to 10  days. You should only get it once a month. Light or heavy be prepared. For light periods get To-Go pads instead of using a big pad. For heavy ones get thick pads. for inbetween use normal. Try to relax during a period too. Don't overdo it either. If you do you get irritated and snap at people and don't mean to. I did this alot and got into trouble. Save yourself a lecture and don't overdo it and relax. Bring a small bag to school in your backpack or somthing and put in extra underwear and pads or tampons if thats what your parents want you to use. You'll thank yourself if you do that so you don't make it public cause somtimes people are busybodies and try to see what you're doing. Do this if you are embarrased about asking for a pad at school from your male/female teacher. But don't be they do this all the time.\n\n\nIf you wanna talk email me at:\n\nsatinfairy@bellsouth.net\n\nOR use IM\n\nYIM\nqueen_zelda2002@yahoo.com\n\nMSN\nsatinfairy@bellsouth.net\n\nAIM\nsatinfairy

I did the same thing.  I asked my gyn.  He said if I don't take it (the pill) at the same time everyday, it can cause it.  I did take it a few hours late on a couple of occasions.  \n\nIf it continues, he said he could do an ultrasound up inside the uterus to look to see what would be causing it.  They fill it up first, then do the ultrasound.  I missed a few days for some reason and had to wait until I started to take the next set and since that happened, I have had no more spotting.  \n\nYou should call your gyn just for a check up anyway.  You should have a yearly pap smear.  Best wishes to you.

Honey, see a doctor if youre trying to get pregnant.  You could be pregnant and just having some intermittent spotting, but you want to make sure.  You could start by taking a home test. If youre not pregnant, it could be stress from wanting to become pregnant making your periods off the norm.  Best bet though, make an appt. with the doc.  All will be fine!\n\nYou've got my prayers that this is the beginning of you and your hubby getting your little angel!

You have to consider a few factors:\nHave you been $exually active?\nIs your cycle usually regular?\nHave you been under a lot of stress lately?\nHave you lost weight recently?\n\nIf the      in question isn't $exually active you can rule out pregnancy. Otherwise, go ahead, buy a test for yourself. Better safe than sorry.\n\n(Not sure if Yahoo's word filter blocks that so I self-censored)

its normal to have some spotting in between periods... but if your periods are usually regular and consistent, I agree with the others you should talk to the dr.   Could also mean pregnancy, could be something wrong, or could be nothing.... sorry to be vague, but a woman's body and period issues are kind of like the check engine light in your car... could be some little thing or a big thing, its hard to figure out w/out a professional!

Was this just last month? And did you get periods before you started taking it? And If you were sexually active in that one month have you taken a pregnancy test? One month usually doesn't do the trick for protecting yourself from pregnancy...Good luck.

That happened to me a few months ago. Have you been really stressed out at anything lately? Stress can cause irregular periods or have you started eating anything different lately? Good luck on the doc. appt. tomorrow!

I'm going through the same thing right now and know for a fact that I'm not pregnant, (having been sexually active in a long time), so I know that stress and exercise can cause dramatic changes in your cycle. Don't worry. Doctor's appointment is a good idea. Happened to me once before and when it started up again, it lasted two weeks, (that really sucked). It will be OK. You're probably just stressing about a test or job, etc. and don't even realize it.

You might need to take a pregnancy test.  You can still have a period and be pregnant.  But don't freak out!!  Take a test, if it's negative, wait a month and see if you get your period again.  If you do, you are probably not pregnant, but another test wouldn't hurt.  You can buy a test pack with two tests at Wal-Mart pretty cheaply.  It's true that you can get food cravings around the time of your period too.  If you are having unprotected sex, though, you might want to consider ways to protect yourself from pregnancy and STD's so that you won't even have to think about whether or not you're pregnant, and just go with the flow.  A condom is a cheap way to help prevent pregnancy, and you can get some free ones I'm sure at your local OBGYN office or planned parenting center.  My thing always was, am I ready for a baby, the responsiblity and the pain of labor?  No?  Well, I'm ready for contraceptives.  The pill is really cool, and easy to take nowadays.  Can you talk about this with someone you trust?  It's important to have a friend or parent who can help you with these big ole decisions.  Good Luck, and don't freak out!

OMIGOSH- have you taken a pregnancy test???     Sounds like your hormones are going craaaaaaazy!

You're period will be irregular for the first couple of years or so.  Don't worry about telling your mom.  She's probably the best person to go to.  She's been having her period for a while so she could help you.  If it's too embarassing to say, write her a note telling her your problem and maybe asking to talk in private.    Some causes for delayed periods are weight loss and stress.  Don't worry.  If you really want to be sure, you may want to go see a doctor.  Gynecologists are nice and they understand.  I would see a woman gynecologist because I'd feel more comfortable.  Good luck.

I wouldn't be concerned right away, if that's your only symptom.  If you have extreme pain/cramping, or extreme change in level of flow, go to the doctor.  Otherwise, if it's just the timing of the cycle, watch it for a few months to see if there's a pattern.  Then if you're still concerned, go to a doctor.  That's my advice.  :)\n\nI know my cycle gets a little longer around the holidays due to stress.  Plus, some women just aren't that regular.  If you have a history of differing length of times, it could just be a symptom of that.\n\nDon't worry, not necessarily a tumor.  :)

I would take a second test just to double check, or if you want to be 100% sure, go to the doctor for a blood test.\n\nHowever, many things can trigger early onset PMS such as stress, changes in routine, etc.  Additionally, there are other health issues that can mimic PMS.  After having another pregnancy test done, assuming it is negative, wait a little to see if the symptoms continue, and if so, go see your general practitioner.\n\n-Essin' Em, hotmoviesforher.com

Get yourself to a doctor or gyno, especially if you think you might be pregnant.  You may be trying to miscarry, or something else might be wrong.  Irregular bleeding could have many causes and only your doctor can determine what it is.  If it were me, I'd be sitting in that doctor's waiting room right now, instead of asking   Yahoo Answers.  Good luck!

Theoretically you could be pregnant. The symptoms you have don't seem typical to me at all...\n\nSo try to take it easy - and if your period is more than a week late, take a test.

there is nothing wrong here because thats what has happened to me a couple of times, it lasted for about 2 weeks perhaps a little less like 12 days, and it is a long time and i got a little worried about it. But it did stop, and when it did i was soooo relieved. My mum had no idea what was going on either, and I really didn't want to go to the doctors. And you know what else happened to me that got me worried all over again, well i missed my period for 3 whole months!! can you believe it, and i still avoided seeing a doctor, but after those three months had gone by, I got my period again and it was all back to normal, I just think that my body was going through a phase, which has never happened since, so i'm relieved about that. Just wait a little while longer and all should be back to normal very soon, but if not then I suggest seeing a doctor. =)
