Q: No Period Since August

I am almost 16 years old. Before, I would sometimes not have my period every month, and not at the same time, but I would at least every other month. Now, I haven't had it since august. I don't really want to talk to my mom about it because I feel weird, and I know I am not pregnant because I have never done anything sexual. My friend told me that she has gone up to about 4 monthes without hers, I was just wondering if there could be something wrong with me. Please let me know!

I would relax.. It's completely normal at your age for your period to suddenly get out of whack. It depends on the person.. But many people don't regulate completely (if at all) until they are 18-20. If you know you are not pregnant and you are not feeling sick or having unusual discharge or pains, then you are ok. I know it is not fun never knowing, but I don't think there are any problems to worry about.

If you are not sexually active,please go to your mom and let her know what is going on!It may be perfectly normal,as was posted before,but,it would not hurt to have a doctor check you out.Do you have any eating disorders??That can make your periods stop.As can excessive exercising.Please do not hide this from your mom,she will probably be more upset if you do not tell her than if you did.Good luck to you.

No Period Since Aug

Don't worry. It is normal at your age. My daughter was like you. Sometimes she has it twice a month,then it disappear for a while. After 3 years it started to be normal. It is good if you talk to your mom. She will help you better than others.

Hello. I agree with the others. You should tell your mom about it. At your age you probably have nothing wrong. I'm sure I probably wasn't on a normal schedule at your age either. Also, I noticed your screen name. Cheerleader eh? Cheerleading used to be my life! As a serious athlete your cycle can easily be altered due to lots of activity. Maybe that could be part of it. At any rate, tell your mom about it and everything will probably be fine.
