There can be a lot of reasons for this.  One of the big ones is being extreme exercise.  Other reasons are usually hormone related and there are many differnt causes.  Definately check with an OB-Gyn about it.\n\nI only had 2-3 periods a year from the time I was 14 until I had a hysterectomy when I was 45.  When I was 29 and got pregnant the first time, I had a miscarriage.  I then had 5 more miscarriages over the next few years.  I saw a fertility specialist, and found out I had what was called a luteal phase defect and my uterus did not build up enough early in pregnancy to support a baby.  There are medications to treat many hormone problems, so the best place to start is your ob-gyn.

Yes. The menstrual cycle is a 28 day cycle rather than a month long one. In fact, it's the time between your periods is usually 28-(no. of days of your period) so you may well have overlap in a certain month.

A period is a monthly cycle your body goes through . your body releases an egg and if that egg is not fertilized by male sperm then blood is released.We have a period every 28 days and this is part of womanhood,we have it because usually a woman finds herself one day wanting a child.The cause of it is actually a curse GOD put on women when Eve sinned,you will find it in the BIBLE.That was a womans curse,to bear children and if not the Period stage is what we go through instead!!Some women have heavy periods,but others only experience light flows!!

No- this is not normal at all and needs to be checked out by a doctor.  In general menstrual abnormalities can be due to many things including hormonal imbalance, stress, weight gain/loss, infection, medications, illness, thyroid, polyp, cyst, amongst other reasons.  Please see your doctor to get tested, so the exact cause may be determined.

You do not lose enough blood during your period for that to matter.\nYou can always ask your doctor.

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.

No, some women just dont get regular periods, especially if you do a lot of sports. If you're concerned see a doctor. "we" should have a period every month.

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.

No darling:) Don't worry, ususally the menstral cycles doesn't become stable(as far as length between and days on) until you are in your twenties, or after your first child. your body is still growing and developing and getting used to the rush or new hormones. Many things can effect your monthly cycle.For example, your body fat percentage. If you very athletic, thin, with very low body fat you will always have a shorter more irregular period. Also if you have another feamle in your household, for some reason unknown to science. Women that live together will eventually have their menstral cycles together. Don't worry , unless you have severe cramping or bleeding,colored discharge(white or yellow), or foul odor. These are all reasons to contact your school nurse,doctor, or your parents. G'luck and be safe

Actually, your period is precipitated by a steep DROP in hormone levels that induces shedding of the lining of the uterus. Hormone levels peak just around ovulation (i.e., mid-cycle), and only remain high if fertilization occurs (if there is a pregnancy). In a normal cycle, where there is no fertilization, hormone levels drop steeply and this causes menstruation.

Just chill ... nothing is wrong ... periods come and go early and late as you are stressed, different things happening in your life, etc.

Here is a list of causes of irregular periods.  Stress is definately one of them, even if you are extra happy in your new marriage that has nothing to do with stress, you can stress and still be happy.  But read this and I hope it helps, but suggestion if it doesn't change in about a month make an appt. with your gyno because it could be something more serious.  Good Luck!!\n\n\n\nCauses of Irregular Periods\nIrregular menstrual periods are usually the result of hormonal signals that have been thrown out of sync. In order to produce a period, your body makes hormones, like estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are kept in the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovaries inside your body. In order to trigger ovulation and menstruation, these parts of the body need to send signals to one another. Sometimes, these signals get crossed or skipped, causing irregular periods.\n\nBut what causes these hormone signals to get out of whack? Well, there are actually a number of things that can easily cause your hormone levels to change.\n\n\nPregnancy: If you are pregnant, your body will begin producing different levels of hormones. This will cause numerous pregnancy symptoms, including an end to your period. \nStress: Stress is a common cause of irregular periods. If you are fatigued, worried, or anxious this can cause your hormones to become unbalanced. \nDiet: A poor diet or extreme weight loss or gain can also affect your hormones. Women with anorexia or bulimia often have no period or irregular periods. \nExercise: Intense exercise can wreak havoc on your body, often causing irregular periods. \nMenarche: the cycles after a girl’s first period may be irregular for some time. It can take up to 3 years to get regular periods. \nMenopause: Menopause causes changes in your hormone levels, and is often signaled by irregular periods. \nHormonal Birth Control: Birth control pills and irregular periods sometimes go hand in hand. It can take a while for your body to adjust to the new levels of hormones delivered by hormonal birth control.

Periods can fluctuate.  You can also trick yourself into thinking that your pregnant. \n\nDon't worry.  Sometimes your body doesn't take as long for a period as it does on other times.  If you've had some really stressful stuff happen, your body might have cut it short.  \n\nSometimes, when you're consistently having really short or too frequent periods, you're not ovulating.  If you keep having problems talk with your doctor.\n\nHe can give you a prescription for a few days worth of progesterone to jump start your uterus and get it back on track and more regular.  But only bother doing that if you consistently have problems with your period.
