Hey, I am 14 and trust me, I went through what you are going through right now.  You may be getting some signs, but you really don't know when you are going to get it until you actually do.  Usually a couple of days before you feel sick, crampy, or you have flu-like symptoms.  Don't worry about it, it really isn't bad and don't rush into it to quickly!  You'll have it for another 45+ years!

Hmmm how old are you? If you're still in your teens you period is going to be wacky and unpredictable for awhile. \n\nThere's no reason for it to be heavier next month just cuz it came late this month. \n\nGive it a bit, it will get more regular and predictable.

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

You are probably just stressed out.   But do get tested if you don't get your period by the end next next week. Which is the 22nd of June. \n\nBtw, please use protection in the future. So you will not be worried so much like this

Well you skipped just one period. That happens to me sometimes, but I just got mine like two years ago. It usually happens when I am very active or something. So maybe your body just shifted its timing  or something. but if it worries you, just see a doctor.

Is this your first period- or your first BAD period.  Either way you should talk to your Mom- or caregiver.  It's nothing to be concerned about- you'll have many years of monthly visits from that friend.  \nMaybe you could add more to your question about your concern?

I wish I could help you, because I have a similar problem.  I just put on my new patch yesterday.  I am supposed to be patch free NEXT monday and begin my period NEXT week, but I started my period today! Is this normal??  Should I tell my doctor? Yeesh.

It really depends on your body.  Some people have really irregular periods all the time (like me) so you can never really know when they will come.  So sorry, but I'd just be ready at your normal time but know that it will probably be later.

How quickly do you suppose I could raise my hand in affirmation on this one?  I've had my period for over 25 years and I am completely SICK of it!!!\n\nAs for how to manage your PMS symptoms, may I suggest checking out a homeopathic remedy called "PMS Formula" by Hylands?  It really is useful for the bloating & achy/crampy feeling and it helps me with my breast tenderness.  \n\nThanks for the smile....and you have my sympathies!

Definitely tell your mom. after all she's a woman, if not anything else. She'll surely be able to tell you. probably its a genetic trait, to get delayed periods. Armed with all this info, U and your mom cud see the GYN y u'v not had your periods. \n\nDon worry. I got my periods wen i was nearly 16. an my mom was hell worried till then.. iv had problems with it after that too, but nothing which was not solvable. \n\nSo chill. Have faith in the Lord as well. \n\nTake care and lemme know. K?

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.

That could happen up to a week before your about to get your period. . is it coming soon? Mine just recently started to hurt about a week before i start and I'm 19. It never happened before so it's possible this could be the reason....\nIt's also possible they are growing?!?!?!

Sounds to me like your getting your period! welcome to the club! YOU ARE NOW BECOMING A WOMAN! Go have that uncomfortable yet short talk with your mom. Good Luck!

So you just started having periods? If you just started having them then this could go on for a while. It is normal. \nIf you have had periods for a while then its probably just stress.

Are you sexually active? If so you could be pregnant. But my guess is your not, so you should talk to you mom and go see your gyno.   Has it been more than a month because periods are sometimes irregular.

I had a regular period for the longest time, and I'm almost 18. They started getting irregular about a year ago. I would skip a month, have two in one month, or it would come early. If the pregnancy tests have come back negative for all of them, I wouldn't worry about being pregnant. If you continue to stress about it, that can also make your periods skip. If you go to the doctor for a test, maybe that will ease your worrying?

Everyone is different our bodies mature at different rates, so maybe you will get your period before 15 and maybe not. The signs you talk about are saying that something is happening in your body. The cravings well that could just be your body telling you that you need more of a certain Vit or Mineral. Listen to your body it knows whats best for it.\nDon't be in such a hurry to get your period though enjoy being young without it. You don't need to grow up so fast.
