Your cycle changes every once in a while, So two days is nothing. As long as your not having sex you dont have anything to worry about. But if you miss your period this month maybe u should go to the doctor.

no, it all depends on what you eat,,,, the amount of exercise you  have , your personal body,,,, as long as its not 3/4 days between and as long as you have no discomfort, your fine, if you prefer daily, each alot of rufage (fresh vegetables/fruits/ etc)

I have found that this question of yours is NOT that unusual. When the menses begin...and each of them in your life is 'Different', there can be a starting of the menstruation cycle itself in a variety of ways. Much of this depends upon your basic health and regularity of your period, and if there is anything that is exacerbating stress, dietary factors, trauma.....these amongst many others can play a vital role in your period. The older blood is just that, and when the heavier flow comes out it brings with it the rest of this....often seen as brown and nearly grainy. Perhaps the thought of this in text is making you queasy and that is NOT my intention. It is NOT unusual for the body to start up....spot a day or two before hand and then begin the menstrual flow in its regular sequence or shall I say what is regular for you. You know your body better than anyone, and depending upon your age....other factors intervene. Age is one, again diet and exercise. Ask yourself if you're tired before this or perhaps amped ...we are ALL different. If there is a continuation of the more 'brown' or older blood, I recommed that you see a Physician....get a pelvic...for perhaps for whatever reason you might be a candidate for a D&C. Are your menses painful? If only periodically I have found that the comfort at home is warmth. Do not be afraid to soak...that is to bathe. This is hailed often, the menses as a curse, wherein it is nature's way of cleansing your uterus. It is important to at this point to say please keep your regular checkups with your gynocologist and allow your doctor to have a talk with any of your questions. I know that for myself what you have mentioned is in no way unusual. Please understand that you're NOT to keep from your physical regimen...unless you are tired..and please keep up your fluid intake.\nYour doctor will be the one to know and it might serve you well to keep a diary or small calendar in your drawer or medicine cabinet as to the regularity or the sometimes "I didnt quite expect this.." questions...all of this is important. As for a heavier flow, there is still no certainty that there will be a stopping or forestallig of the older blood. Please remember that it's your body and your own inherent body clock or circaddian rhythms dictate a lot of what is to happen to you during this time. I am not your doctor...this is merely my take from past experience and knowing many women who experience the very same thing. for now, I wouldn't worry, were I you, just keep track of this and see if there is any change in tha amount of days and flow. In conclusion, it sounds as though you are healthy, and don't rule "IN" a problem unless advised by your physician. Lastly if pain of any sort accompnies this, please inform your doctor for they can and very often WILL do a pelvic during your period. Should any problem persist, they will ( your doctor's office) refer you to a specialist if there is due cause. In and of all of this there may be the occasional fibroid or cyst. This is whyit is vital that you make and keep your appointments with your doctor.

Depends how old you are. I took my teenage daughter to the doctor's as her periods are very irregular and he said it's normal at her age for them to be erratic. Perhaps you should visit your doctor and check there is nothing wrong? If the frequency and/or severity of your periods bother you, there is the option of going on a lose dose contraceptive pill to regulate your periods and reduce the pain. If it's only happened this once I really wouldn't worry. I've not heard of the weather affecting menstruation but apparently the moon can. I'd talk to your doctor if you're really worried if only to put your mind at rest x x

Don't worry about bleeding or any usually abnormal menstrual symptoms. It usually takes about 3 months for everything to become normal. If this continues to happen for more than 2 weeks or it doesn't lighten up, you need to call your doctor. Otherwise, don't panic.

Definitely yes.  This is currently happening to me and my doctor told me that it is totally normal.  The pill works in part by thinning the lining of the uterus.  For some women, the lining of the uterus gets so thin that it isn't shed anymore, so you have no period.  I have been on the pill for over two years and my periods have gradually gotten shorter--now they only last 2-3 days.  My gynecologist told me that they could stop altogether and if they did, it would be nothing to worry about.  If your period does stop, I would recommend taking a home pregnancy test just to rule out pregnancy as a reason.  If you aren't pregnant, then it should be a normal reaction to the pill.

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.  :)

if you're not pregnant, you should go get a check up.  they will probably run some blood work and possibly put you on birth control.  its not normal to go with out your period.

It will come, development varies for everyone. Having your period has nothing to do with the color of your pee. Wondering about yourself is a sign of maturity, little children don't wonder about the changes they go through. So you have at least one sign! One day you'll have some cramps and then you'll see some spotting on your underwear, then you'll be bleeding like the rest of the mature women.

stress and diet and genes effect your period. my mom was never regular, neither am I...my weight has also been fluctuating AND im under a lot of stress so all those can contribute. if you are concerned talk to your ob/gyn about getting on birth control to regulate it :)

Sounds like you might be starting Peri-menopause especially with the change in your periods.  So long it is not a continuous heavy flow all 14 days I would just monitor things but you may want to call the docs office and let the nurse know that this is going on just in case he feels he wants to see you sooner than next week.

On average, periods last 4 to 6 days. It really depends on the person. Some have really short ones like 2 days and others really long ones like 7 or even 8. If it last for a longer period of time, ask your doctor about it.

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'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.
