That's nothing to worry about if you just started getting your period. When you first start, a lot of times your body just has to get adjusted to the new hormone production and you will skip over periods. I knew a girl (when I first got mine) who said she'd gotten hers and then a year passed and she still hadn't had it again. It could also be stress related. I only missed my period once when I was younger (before I became sexually active) and it was entirely due to stress. I believe I was about 15.
So don't worry! It's entirely normal! If you're that concerned you could always go see a gynecologist but trust me, those are very unpleasant visits. :|0 0 0 0If you're not sexually active and there's no chance that you're pregnant, then your lack of a period points to a health problem. It could be that you're malnourished or low in certain nutrients, or there may be something else going on. You need to talk to a doctor right away, so that you can figure out what's happening as soon as possible. At your age, it's normal to have a somewhat irregular period, but over four months without one is concerning. I'm surprised your mom hasn't taken you to the doctor yet. Ask her to do so, and tell her it's important.
0 0 0 0She's taking me to the doctor this Tuesday. She told me that it was normal to have irregular period but when I told her that I'm still getting the pains she got a bit worried and said I might have to get a scan or something like that
Irregular is normal, but four months is quite a while. It's good that you're going to the doctor.
Because of some other problem I have to get examined by a female doctor (〃>_<;〃) So I'm really nervous about going... I'm such an awkward potatoe
When did you first start to have your period? For the first year or so you can be very irregular. Additionally, depending on your BMI and body type, your body might decide "hey we can't handle a baby right now."
If six months pass and you still haven't had your period, you should talk to a gynecologist.0 0 0 0

Tough choice on the category indeed, I think Health is more suitable though. XD
But as for your question, I'm not knowledgeable in this, but I have known of women who didn't really have much when it came to their periods.
Seeing one of yall's "Lady's doctors" would be my advice to ya though.
Be well miss. : )0 0 0 0yeah thanks :) I'm actually already seeing a lady doctor this Tuesday for something else but I'm always soooo embarrassed to go to them or even talk about this sort of stuff
Are you very thin? If so, that will stop your cycle.
0 0 0 0I am thin but I can't seem to change that... -_-
You're oversimplifying it a bit. Don't freak her out. Being thin won't stop your cycle. Being undernourished and ill can stop your cycle.
@samhradh_leannan I'm not oversimplifying at all. Lots of very thin women - women with low percentage of fat on their bodies - will stop cycling. I've known some and they are healthy, just thin.

16 4It's not normal, it really depends if you've been depriving your body, usually you won't have a period if you're not treating your body right.
1 0 0 0If you've been sexually active then you really need to get checked out!
0 0 0 0I'm only 14 so I haven't been
I know plenty of people who were having sex at 12-14 years old. So age has nothing to do with it
I sure think your mom needs to take you to the doctor young lady.
I changed the topic to 'Sexual Health'0 2 0 0okays
Thank you, young lady for your kind, generous, thoughtful and charming gesture of selecting my opinion the MHO :) <3 Trust and hope you did see the doctor and all is well now :)
yeah I went to the doctor and all is good now :)
You're more than likely still very irregular.. Perhaps a visit to your Doctor/GP will help put your mind to rest.
0 0 0 0Have you been stressed lately or been taking any new medications? That may affect it too.
1 0 0 0well 'm not really sure when there's a time when I'm not stressing over something lol
I can totally understand that lol I just know intense levels of stress can mess with your period
yeah
Iron deficiency. Take iron supplements
0 0 0 0I don't understand how you could not have a. For four months starting in seven days. Does that mean four months starting every seven days? What the hell you talking about?
0 0 0 0... I haven't had it for 3 months but in seven days I wouldn't of had it in four months...
I'm not even a 100% sure what you were on about -_-
I was on about trying to help you if that is what you are asking. But apparently you don't want my help. So on to the next question sorry for bothering you
I know periods can be irregular when you first start having them, but that long is unusual.
I think you need to see the gynecologist right away.0 0 0 0Are you on birth control? Did you recently get an IUD?
0 0 0 0No and whats IUD?
Intrauterine device. At your age, it's not uncommon to have a very irregular cycle. If you're very concerned, you should see a gynaecologist.
what's an Intrauterine device? (sorry for all the questions lol)
did you gain weight, lose weight, or are you stressed? could be because of any of those reasons.
0 0 0 0You're still very young but I recommend seeing a doctor. I had irregular periods and found out it was because I had pcos. The Dr gave me birth control to help the symptoms and I'm a tiny bit better. Have you noticed irregular weight gain or extra body hair in places uncommon for women to have a lot of hair?
0 0 0 0I've been gaining weight on purpose because I'm a bit underweight
a sudden change in weight could deffinitely change your cycle. It could just be because you are gaining weight so your body is adjusting
yeah well I've only gained 1kg and then it goes back to how it was before
you're periods are irregular , many females have this problem , dw
0 0 0 0Have you seen the doc about this?
0 0 0 0I'm going to in a few days
Please see a doctor, I am not a woman, nor am I a doctor. I am definitely not a woman doctor either.
0 0 0 0you really need to see your doctor..

Immaculate conception?
0 0 0 0Whats that?
God sent the Holy Spirit and impregnated Mary without intercourse. won't happen again. I was just teasing, im sorry. Ask your mom or call a clinic. Hope you'll be okay.=)
Oh yeah haha lol sorry I tend to not get jokes about this sort of stuff because I missed a lot of health class. I have an appointment at the doctors already and my mum said I might need to get a scan or something
This is your period acting up
0 0 0 0are you using any type of birth control (pill, IUD, etc.)
0 0 0 0Are you under a lot of stress? Medical issues? Maybe prescription drugs?
