Not at all...you dont have to worry about that...its a natural thing and the body takes its own time...most girls begin around 11-16 a year younger a couple of years younger or older is also fine.The trouble is if you get it way before you should like 8 or so ...thats unhealthy...plus...after 18 you must consult a doctor.\nBefore that jsut relax and enjoy the kindness nature is bestowing upon you.\nHAHA...That was a joke but yes periods are uncomfortable and painful at times.

Definitely not. I have quite a few friends that didn't get theirs until they were 18. Enjoy not dealing with it for as long as you can! No white pant worries, no running to the bathroom worried about whether you have sufficient supplies, no late night trips to the grocery for midol. No cramps....I envy you.

it's not bad. i didn't get mine till i was 15. the dr.s say you should usually start about the same time your mom did when she was younger. they also say the only time you should become concerned is if your boobs have been growing for more than two yr.s and you still haven't gotten it. that's when you should see a dr. but look at this way as long as you haven't gotten it yet you don't have to worry about wicked cramps and mood swings.

Don't worry.  Every girl is different.  Your body isn't ready yet and that is normal.  Enjoy not having a period yet because they really suck for most girls.  My daughter is 12 and she spotted once when she was 11 and then nothing since.  That can happen too.  Normal.  Most girls don't get their period and have a regular 28 day cycle from the beginning.  I've known lots of girls that don't get their period until they are in their mid to late teens.  It's not as common as those of us that start early on (I was 11) but it's not abnormal or anything to stress about. :)

Hello, I got my period on my 16th birthday, and I was skinny and athletic just like you. The reason why you are not having your period yet is probably because you are so athletic and skinny and also don't get nervous or stressed to much; it might delay your period. Just relax and nature will take its course. I hope this helps you.

there is nothing you can do to make your period start. you really need to see a doctor who can thoroughly assess you and work out the reasons you are 18 and not had a period. As you are in fact 18, you are an adult, so take yourself to the hospital or doctors and get a professional opinion.

Weight loss and stress can interrupt your cycle--your body may decide (via hormones) that it's not a good time for you to have a baby and prevent ovulation.  Other than that, menstrual cycles are often irregular when you're a teenager.  But you should consider telling your physician about your heavy and long periods--you're losing a lot of blood, so you may need to take iron supplements (I did).

I didnt get my first period til I was 17. My second period came 6 months later! It continued to be really irregular for a year. If you are under 18, don't stress about it.

There isn't anything wrong with you! Some people start their periods at different times from others. My best friend didn't start hers until she was 16. The only reason to call a doctor would be if you hadn't gotten your period by the time you were 18--that's called "primary amenorrhea." \n\nDon't worry---you ARE normal! :)

Well, be 15 and pregnant is risky in and of itself, but to be that low of weight too, is pretty bad, depending on how far along you are.  You need to be seeing an obstetrician regularly so they can monitor your progress and make sure you're healthy.  I hope you have a good support group, but if you ever need anyone else to talk to, I'm here, and I wish you the best of luck.  I know you'll do fine, because it's clear that you're worried about your health and the health of your baby.

The normal time to start having a period is between 10 and 16.  It's ok if you don't have one yet and your friends do.  Don't worry, it will happen for you.  And don't try to rush it.  Once it happens, you will understand why I've said that.  I personally started at 8 (which is VERY early), but my mother and my sisters all started at 15 or 16.  It's normal.  I'm not sure how old you are.  But as long as you are under about 16, it's ok if it hasn't happend for you yet.  Talk to your mother (if that's possible for you) and find out how old she was.  This will help you better understand what is happening and when it will happen for you.

You're still in your teens, and women's cycles don't become truly regular until the mid-twenties. Your body may have just randomly skipped a cycle. Rapid weight loss or malnutrition can also cause a missed period. As you said, stress can do it too. Also, some illnesses (ovarian cysts or uterine cancer, for example) can do the same. That's a very unlikely possibility though.\n\nIf you're sexually active, take a home pregnancy test once your period is a few days late. If it's negative or you're not sexually active, wait another month to see if our period returns. If it doesn't, head to the gynecologist for a check-up.

I WOULD have said NO BUT then it happened to me, I was very sick for a long time and didn't have a period for almost 3 years..I got pregnant, and didn't know till i was almost 5 months, because I had no symptoms...so yes it can definatly happen..no period doesn't mean you are not ovulating, can be a sign of malnurishment like with anorexia or bulemia... BUT to answer your question..absolutly YES!

Well, it depends.  Are you sure you aren't pregnant?  If you are pregnant and take birth control pills it can harm the unborn fetus.  \n\nHowever, if you aren't pregnant, it should be okay.  Woman often miss periods because of stress, hormone changes and a variety of other reasons.  \n\nIf you don't have or can't get ahold of your doctor, a good person to call would be a local pharmacist.  They are pretty knowledgeable on these subjects too.  And a whole lot easier to get ahold of. \n\nIt is always best to see your doctor though.  Not having a period can be a sign of a problem you might want to get checked out.  But if you have regular paps, and know you've had a lot of stress in your life and think its just a one time thing, you should be fine just calling  your doctor or pharmacist.\n\nTell your doctor you really don't want to wait.  Either because it will make the period more painful and heavier when it comes, or because you want to make sure you are protected against pregnancy and feel safer if you could take the pill.

I think it is probably normal. You are young and your body is going through alot of changes right now.\nIf you are not sexually active and pregnancy is not possible, it is probably nothing to worry about.\nMy friends daughter was irregular until she turned 17... \n\nMy daughter's Dr. told us it could take anywhere from 3 months to 3 years for your period to regulate and become normal. It is your body getting used to the hormonal changes. \n\n\nThere are many reasons you could be late. If you are worried(and you seem to be) talk to your mom about it and check with the Dr.
