Thread: Really strange periods - some advice please!

Well I started my periods when I was ten, and they've always been pretty irregular. One time I went about six months without having one at all.
Anyway, I'm 16 now, and had sex for the first time in January. The last time I done it was the start of February and I had a period in March.
Since then...nothing.

However in April, May and June for about four days I had spotting and brown discharge, which I think was kind of my period? Now I'm not even getting that.

It's September now so I'm pretttttty anxious as to what's wrong with me.
I'm too scared to go to the Doc's though, although I went for more or less the same thing last year and he done a blood and urine test which all came back fine apparently.

Some advice would really be appreciated as I'm freaking out right now trying to find out what is wrong with me. I also have dull pains near where I think my ovaries are..but I got diagnosed with IBS 2 years ago so it could be that. I have also just done my exams & started college which could be a stress related reason as to why I'm having these horrible none existant periods. Help would be AMAZING, thankyou!!

Well it's good to know I'm not alone, & thanks a lot for replying.

But no, I'm not on any birth control at all..never have been.
Yesterday though I started having that all too familar brown discharge.
Could this finally be my period coming??
