well im 17 yrs. old and yeah i had period since i was 13 yrs old..but is it normal to miss your period for say, 4 months? AND NO I DIDNT HAVE SEX in my whole life; im not like that. i know ppl that miss that many months..but im just wondering if its normal--because my mom was like oh when was the last time u got ur period? [dont ask why she ask me but it just came up] i said well i had it in may but before that i miss 4 mnths..shes like oh no sthing wrong w. u, u need to go to the doctor...i was like no i dont need to mom, its because i been chnaging my eating habits like on and off [healthy of course] and lilttle more xcercise like walkto&from school when mom borrows car/ so it is normal right? because since i been chnaging health/food habits

well it happens to me.. too it just did i haven't had mine in like four months too... i think its normal.. at least thats what i think..

well u have had your period since 13 so it's not like your period could still be irregular. but yes diet, stress, changing ur habits can affect your period i believe. and since u have never had sex than you are not pregnant. hmm 4 months...i think it might be best if you go to the doctor just in case and see if something is wrong. i think you are ok though but better safe than sorry.

and i freaked out when i missed 3 weeks... i dont know, maybe you should go to the doctor, i would

i am 13. i have had my period since i was 11 and i am still not regular i will miss a couple of months at a time. guess who got off their period 3 days ago? me!! I am so happy. it's so annoying

^ Lol. Congrats!!

Agree with beautifuls0ul_x3, go check with your doctor just in case. But chances are, there's nothing wrong with you. Everyone's "regulation rate" is different -- for some it takes only half a year and others years. Don't worry too much about it.

I got my period for the first time last summer and it's been on and off since then >.< Such a pain in the bum cause I'm in school and BAM! There it is...all over my pants I know that I should go to the doctors and say something about it but my mom's always in the doctor's office with me and I feel embarassed.

It's very probable you missed it because of your eating habits but just to be sure I highly recommend going to the doctor, just to make sure. Once my friend missed her period 3 months and thought sperm was on her pad or something, hehe.

^Agreed. You really should see a doctor about this just to make sure. There's nothing to lose to just pay a visit and get some solid facts. Changes in eating habits and excersize habits do affect your period. I was told by my nurse that people are getting their periods earlier and earlier because the food is changing from how it was before and it's affecting the age people start having their periods. I really don't think it's normal for you to skip 4 months even if your health habits do change, so like beautifuls0ul said, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN.

The only thing now.....is to go see a Doctor....it might be something serious....

I agree....have you had any severe weight loss or something? i heard that can be an issue

See your doctor.

... its happening to me rite now :(

i missed last month. i dont remember oofing anybody. so, i duno. kinda scared though. lol

yeah you might want to go to the doctor, just to be safe. It's better to know than go on wondering

it may still be irregular. i got my period when i was 12 and now i'm 15 and it's still VERY irregular. and it may be because of your eating habits, but like everyone said, i'd go to the doctor just in case cause you never know.

There are a number of reasons this could be happening to you. It could be because you are changing your eating habits too much, or it could be because you're doing too much exercise. Also, it could be a horomonal (sp?) imbalance, which requires medical attention. Either way, the best thing to do would be to see the doctor. Good Luck!

im 13 and that happened t me when i was twelve and still is happening. i think i had my period the first time for the first 2 months; and then it stopped for like 2 months; and then came back for another month and then it stopped for like half a year. And then came back for two months and missed it till this month.

just to be safe, go to the doctor. if theres something wrong, youll still have time to treat it.

It's not abnormal. One of my friends only gets her period about 2 or 3 times a year. It's just the way your body is. You probably should talk with your doctor, just in case. Hope that helped!

it may be still irregular but just to make sure..you should visit the doctor.

ugh i'm on my darn period. ew.

hana, i couldn't of said it better myself.

Go check the doctor.

It could be the more exercise thing (not that thats a bad thing). My sister has a problem like that and its from doing lots of sports and activities. It's nothing to worry about if thats the problem, but you should still check it out with your docter

i say your LUCKY .. no period for 4 months ? ...i really wish i had something like that happen to me... cause i go thru PURE HELL during my period.. throwing up, backaches, headaches, nausea >=p

well anyway... you SHOULD go to the doctors just in case ;D

yeah unless youve had it for less than 3 years [which you havent] then you shouldnt be missing it... or if you arnt getting enough protein [think anorexic] or extreme weightloss/excersize which you say you havent had... i dunno.. but what your mom said is the best bet.. all you gotta do is talk cause im sure looking wouldnt do any good

I missed like... one month and I freaked...

I think you should certainly go to the doctors to be sure. 4 months is a huge gap between, and I think you should go see the doctors soon.

Changing eating habbits also affects your period. Best to seek a doctor.

Consider yourself lucky, girl!

But you should still go get it checked out.

^.^

I agree. Its normal especially if you have more stress/different diets etc. I too, have missed my period a few times (I never had sex) and everything was fine.

You might need birth control to regulate your period. It's unusual for it to be 4 months difference, especially if you've had it consistently for 3 years o_0 Definitely check it out with a doctor, too.
