This also happened to me.  Probably not a big deal, but you should see your doctor just to be sure.

You are normal.  If this were abnormal, your mother would be taking you to the doctor.  In the beginning, periods can be very irregular.  In fact, they can be this way throughout your teens.  When I was younger, mine came between 25 and 35 days apart once they got going.  In the very beginning (I was 11), they were even more sporadic.\n\nHave your mother buy you a book about the changes your body is going through to help you know what to expect and why everything is happening the way that it is.  Not only will this make you feel better, it will also give you a point of reference to know when something is NOT normal and when you should go to a doctor.\n\nA good one might be: \nWhat's Happening to My Body?

You're probably just young and when you're young you don't have a normal cycle yet. You're body has to adjust and creat it's own timing. It will be irregular until you reach about 18-21. The next time you get it could be 2 months! So don't worry you're fine. :-) I've been there before too

I didn't start my period until I was 15. I only had it about 3-4 days and then I didn't have another period for about 5 or 6 months. My mom took me to the doctor and they said everything was normal. After having a few cycles they became regular. If you are really concerned, take her to the doctor.

You should be OK but if you are really worried the doctor will help you, if you're like me and don't want to ask your doctor go to family planning and ask to see a nurse.\n\nMy periods only became regular when I hit 40 - go figure that one out.

Maybe nothing. It could be stress that's making you have another period. If you have abnormal bleeding or cramping you may want to see a doctor.

Not having a period for 3 months is not something to stress yourself out about. .. Stress is the leading cause of female problems. Lack of activity is also a cause. Weight gain or loss can also be another problem. Illnesses can also as well... Doctor's say that woman should at least have 3-4 periods a year. If we don't have at least that. We are doubling our risk for Ovarian Cancer. Periods are shedding our cervix lining.. without the period our lining continues to grow .. running the risk of problems.Talk to your gyno or family doctor. They can check to see if there is other problems contributing to irregular periods. They will check for Endemetreouises. and Poly cystic Ovaries. and any other possible problems. Good luck and let me know how your doing.

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.  :)

Well there is the possibility that you just have an abnormal cycle. Theres many factors to it like wieght,medicines you take,stress and others. It's best to ask a doctor.

You need to go see your gynecologist, because there  could be some  \nfibroid tumors, endometriosis, ovarian cancer and even uterus cancer.  That happen to me almost 4 years ago come January.  The first one was about 1/10 and the second one was about 1/21.  I went to my gynecologist and that June I had a hysterectomy, of course I had fibroid tumors.   Get checked out.  And to ease your mind a little a lot of females go through that change when your period is just changing cycles.

you should see a doctor to see why this is happening. i don't get it if you've never had your periods-which you should have had so far- or it's something happening just now-maybe a temporary disorder caused by stress or pregnancy.\njust don't take any pills without a medical consultation, because each body has its own needs and what is good for one person may harm another- remember that pills have side-effects too!

It can sometimes take a while for everything to go back to normal. I had my second son four months ago, and my first period was over a week and a half late. \nIf you still feel worried about this, go to your doctor and seek a professional opinion.

Bleeding for longer than your normal period is not a good sign. There is something else going on, could possibly be a tumor. Go see a doc as soon as you can.

it's not really "normal" but you're still probably ok because some people periods don't exactly fit the textbook description. try to go to the doctor and tell them about your period. it may have something to do with your hormones and they can probably regulate you periods better with birth control.\ngood luck

Yes this is perfectly normal... when i first got my period it lasted about a week and a half, then i got it again about 3 weeks later. Your period will be irregular to begin with until your body gets used to the change. Once this happens you will only get it roughly once a month and most periods only last for about 3-7 days depending on the individual.\n\nIf further down the track your periods continue to be irregular you might want to consider the pill (contraceptive). The pill will make your period regular and will stop you from bleeding for as long. The bonus out of this also is that you can tell exactly when you'll get your next period and the pill also gives you the option to skip periods which is actually good for girls (only if you skip it once in a blue moon, so like say every 3-4 months).\n\nHope this info helped, if you have any further questions consult your doctor as they are the best people to get this kind of info from. Good Luck Hun : )
