hiya, ive missed 4 periods now but i still get the pains and stuff. ive never had sex or anything like that because im only 13! but i took a test anyway because it was just making me think things.. im a bit scared cause i dont know whats going on. can any1 help me? please x

Hi there. I was 12 when I started getting my period and it definately wasn't regular...sometimes I'd go for three months without a period (wasn't sexually active) and sometimes I'd get it three months in a row, for a while I regularly got it only every other month. I might be your body adjusting to a new experience. I think it's pretty common for your body to be pretty irregular for at least the first year.

I'm 24 now, but a few years ago when I was about 21, I had a really stressful summer and I rented a room in a house that had about 3 different women in and out throughout the summer...I actually skipped my period for about 2 months! I think this was due to stress and being around other women. One thing you'll find is that some women's body's tend to "lead" other women's. So, for example, a woman who has a really strong "lead" (I'm not even sure what to call this) will often disrupt the flow of others. For example, I moved into my current house 6 months ago and I noticed my periods were regularly every first Saturday until one of my roommates moved out, at which time, it became sporatic again. So, you're body might just be a bit confused right now...but if you are still worried and concered, I'd suggest to see a doctor, at least for your own peace of mind.

I hope this helps

thanx 4 ur help u helped a lot xx xx

There are a few things that can halt your period. The most common would be that you are not "regular" yet.

Stress can also mess with your cycle, as can being underweight.

Just thought I'd throw all that out there.
