Q: Okay so i am a 16year old female. and heres my situation. ive only gotten my period like 3-4 times in my life. and they havent been in consecutive months. the closest its ever been to consecutive was dec 2004 and january 2005. and the time after that was june 2005 then i didnt get it until my last period which was january 2006. my main question is...does my very irregular period mean that i am not ovulating like i should be and could it effect whether or not i will be able to have children when im older? dont get the wrong idea its not that i want a kid now or anything. but i do want a family in the future and this i just freaking me out. any advice/information anybody could give me will be much appreciated. thanks.
The first few years of your period can easily be abnormal just because tere are a lot of hormone imbalances during puberty. Also, if you are a pretty dedicated athlete, that can throw off the timing of your periods. Just keep an eye on it and if the timing doesn't seem to level off in a year or so, I would just go to a gynocologist to make sure everything is alright.

thanks for the advice. i really appreciate it. and im going to set up a gyno appointment soon i think. thanks again. -nichole
