about

Many of my friends say that I am a good listener and advice giver. Because I have experienced many good and bad situations, I know what it is like to feel down or confused. I am a mother, daughter, sister, girl friend, and friend. And if I can't figure out how to answer a question, I'm sure I know someone who can. And I've come to notice that most of the questions people ask they already know the answer to, they just need a little reassurance. But I will warn you that my policy is, if you ask a stupid question, you will get a stupid answer. But i will say that it is my joy to help anyone with a real problem, so ask away!

I am 17, and I have had my period for about 4 years now. It had been pretty regular for quite awhile, but recently it has been getting very irregular. For Example, I got my period on July 15th, and it only lasted for 3 days which is highly unusal for me. Then today, I got my period again, and its only the 2nd, and it is much more heavy than it usally is.
Is this possibly a sign that there is something wrong with me, and if so, does anyone have any idea of what it is? I was thinking of going to the gynocologist, but my mom said its normal, but I dont think it is, because I know what is normal for me. Also, What should I expect at my first gyno visit?

well if your sexually active... you may be pregnant. because you can get irregular periods at the beginning of your pregnancy. but if you're not then maybe you've been stressing out about something and its messing up your cycle. and at your 1st gyno visit, you should expect a pap-smear, which is when they scrape some mucus off of your cervix to test for cervical cancer. this can be painful. and you will probably get cultures, which is testing for stds. and you might get a blood test to test fro hiv. they will also probably examine your breast and show you how to give yourself a monthly breats examination to look for lumps.
