There are hormonal conditions, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, that will reduce or stop menstrual cycles. It's best to get something like this checked out. The doctor may want to run bloodwork to change your hormone levels. In any case, you really should get an exam to make sure you're healthy. Good luck!

I was going to say stress but if you are not stressed than that couldnt be it.  Early menopause could be the issue.  Its unusual but not impossible.

Well, how old are you? If you've never had sex and you're still young, it's probably just your period starting up slowly.\n\nIf you're an adult and are sexually active, that's just gross.

It could be sooo many things.  I see the picture by your name, and judging by the age of the children (assuming they are yours) you are probably relatively young.  Nonetheless, the problem could be perimenopause, or "early menopause".  For more details, try a google search.  If you have an eating disorder, that could definitely do it.  Pituitary tumors (not necessarily malignant) have been known to disturb the menstrual cycle.  Also, you could try a google search on "amenorrhea" which refers to a person who is not having her period.  While I understand that you are sort of having a period, maybe you will find some clues with such a search.

How old are you? Irregular periods can be caused by many things including bad eathing habits...anxiety, if you weigh very little you maybe missing your perioud often, when you mean last year... when? i think you should see a doctor asap. Health problems are not a joke. something could be wrong. Also when you say you have not had sex... are you saying that there was no penetration but you played around abit? the sperm is known to survive for upto 72 hours (www.teenwire.com or 6days according to that website). My take... see a gyno immediately... this is important. and there are clinics that you can go to that are not costly. ask your friend to go with you. goodluck

I understand what you are saying. Periods suck!! Try talking with your doctor and express how you feel. There are different medications that will allow you to have only 4 periods a year. The only sure fire way of never having a period is having a hysterectomy and you are way to young for that.

the way I understand it, it's just like hitting puberty.  It will come when it comes - keep in touch with your doctor.  You could also be starting to show some signs that you are not considering signs of menopause, and have not discussed with him/her.  It's great not having the periods. be patient - it can be rough at times.

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.

it's nothing overly serious.\n\nI'm 22 and a virgin and my period still skips around.  The longest I went without a period was 3 months and I loved it.  \n\nI really don't think it's anything to worry about at 14 as long as you know you haven't done anything to worry about.\n\nIt could be your weight, your diet, your stress level, your active or inactive lifestyle, etc.  A lot of factors.  \n\nIf this is that important to you right now...  I would recommend getting on BC because it regulates your periods.

haha don't worry there. the first year or two your periods are going to be a little off. it's stil adjusting. don't worrry. some girls even skip a month sometimes. don't worry though. if you feel as though you need to see a doctor..see one. but i really do'nt think you should worry. it happens.

Have you had a menstrual period before?\nIf this is the first time ever, then get a pad - ask an older female friend/confidant to explain this in person.\n\nIf you've had periods before, and this is an irregular occurence, then you absolutely should see a doctor.

If you are sexually active, try to get pregnancy test or go to doctor. \nIf you are not, then you might have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) where women lacks mentrual flow, tend to be overweight, stress, etc. \n\nBest go to your doctor and have tests run on you and let the doctor tells you what's the issues.

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.

There can be alot of reasons a woman misses her period. She could be pregnant. If you are very athletic you may have fewer periods each year. Also if you are malnourished you may not have a period. Those are just a few reasons. You may want to consult your doc on this one.

How old are you? This is pretty common in pre-menopausal women, this has been my own personal hell for the past few months, as well. If you are under 40, though, this could be a problem. There are a few things that could cause this in a young woman, none of them good (endometriosis is one, there are a few similar things as well). Call your GYN (or get one if you don't have one) and have it checked out. Even if it is not a serious problem, irregular periods can be regulated with drugs, saving you alot of grief.

If you over exercise, or dont eat enough, you can lose your period.  If you have had a sudden change in diet or exercise that could be the problem, also if you are quite young, that can happen as well.  \n\nIt never hurts to double check with a doctor though. Better to be safe than sorry.  Good luck.
