I don't think that that is normal. If I were you I would go to your school nurse and explain it to her...tell her your just concerned and maybe if she talked to your mom about it then it  might convince her that seeing a Dr. wouldn't hurt.\nI do want to say however that I'm sure things are fine and it may just be a hormonal imbalance that can be treated with medication. Don't think that there is something seriously wrong with you.  The best thing to do is to talk with the nurse and/or Dr. just to get things checked out.  Good luck hun...it's an inconvenience to have a period for a few days much less a few weeks...hang in there

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.

Very likely, it is perfectly normal. There is a lot of variation in how often women have their periods, the average, however,  is about 28 days.\nBut you should still visit a gynecologist as he may order some simple blood tests (hormone levels) and an ultrasound (totally painless 5 min test) just to make very sure.

Everyone is different.\nIt's obvious that your body is changing and you would definately be close to a time when your period is due.\nIf you need more information maybe you can go see the Doctor or school nurse but there are plenty of books around on the topic, even checking online.

Depends on why your period was supposed to stop... Do you think you might be pregnant, or are you taking some sort of medication??  Both might affect this, I'd guess.  If you have a period that is lasting as long as 2 weeks, you should definitely see a doctor.

Yes, it is normal, that is the usual lenght of time blood comes out. And it's fine if you have a really heavy flow it evens out later on with time. Every period has it's own pattern so don't stress yourself out so much. If you want more info check with your doctor do not be embarassed they know more about this than anyone else in the world. Also don't be afraid to speak with an aunt or a femal cousin or your mom about it usually girls need support from a feminie figure to help them through the confusion.\n\nJust some facts about your period:\ngo to yahoohealth and research menstration cycle as well as puberty.

Theres not a straight answer for this.  Most likely you are not pregnant.  However, there have been cases where girls still get their periods when they are pregnant.  You should maybe wait a week and take a test if you are concerned.

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

Dont worry it's just your period starting. It's not always red at first but give it a few hours and it will be. Good luck.

i have the same problem...it might be because your due to have your period...has this been going on or has it just started? if it has been going on for a while its most likely because your due for your period. it might also be because your taking in too much cafeinne (cant spell it) so try to cut back and take a calcium suppl. or primrose oil suppl.

There is nothing wrong I feel if one gets within 45 days .May be if you can try taking contraceptive pills for two months it may become regular.\nMassturbbation has nothing to do with your periods.

well irregularity is normal during the beggining stages of your period, but regardless of irregularities you should still be getting your period about every 2-3 months. Perhaps the bleeding was caused by something other than your period since there seems to be large periods of time between each menstrual cycle. I suggest you talk to your doctor about it, a mom might make you feel better, but a doctor can actually tell you what is wrong. :)
