Question Posted Wednesday January 26 2005, 6:06 pm
My name is Kayla and I'm 13 years old. I started my period not too long ago. But I have skipped about 3. Is this normal for me? I don't want to be able to not have children or anything? Is it serious? Please help.
jojo answered Friday February 18 2005, 7:20 am: HI Kayla. First of all, I will not say that you are normal for sure because you will always go thru a medical exam first right. I mean who ever gives you an definite answer from what the info you gave here will be there best guess. My best guest (not a definite answer) is that it is normal for you to skip at the beginning. I've seen it and it's quite common. and i will not worry soo much about not having child due to this.
Most important is to go to your OB GYN and get an exam. You will get your real answer. And always go to a second opinion (2nd Doctor ) to be safe. People are not always perfect . doctors are people and they will also miss things. Okay. So please don't worry. I will be on the okay side for your answer. PLease go see your OBGYN.
Take care [ jojo's advice column | Ask jojo A Question ]
Ladyboss22 answered Sunday January 30 2005, 3:29 pm: You bet it is. When I was your age, I had my period right around when you did. I was what's known as irregular for well over a year. Your body is going through a lot of changes hun. You will get it one month, and skip a month, or you will get it twice in a month. Not to worry! Your body is making adjustments and you will even out. However dear, if you experience anything abnormal. For example, excessive clotting, pain other than the normal cramps, fever, etc, go to a doctor right away.
Most young ladies go through what you are going through.
Good luck and keep us updated on your situation.

CaitLynnG answered Thursday January 27 2005, 8:13 pm: That is normal for just starting your period, Wait for about 4 months and it keeps skipping than I would check in with a doctor. But it should be fine. [ CaitLynnG's advice column | Ask CaitLynnG A Question ]

rainbowcherrie answered Thursday January 27 2005, 11:27 am: For about the first year or two of your periods, they will probably be irregular. After a couple of years or so, they usually even out although some woman always have irregular periods. This definitely doesn't affect your chances of having children.

GurlzHaveBawlz2 answered Thursday January 27 2005, 7:57 am: Kayla,
Don't worry it's NORMAL. When you get your very first period, you're going to skip some after. It'll come soon, I promise. It is not serious at all. And it doesn't affect you having kids. [ GurlzHaveBawlz2's advice column | Ask GurlzHaveBawlz2 A Question ]
DrummeR4LifE answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 11:51 pm: Well if its your first time having you period ever then it probably is. It caould also be that you're pregnant, but that's if you've had sex witha guy...
xXxpinky615xXx answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 10:03 pm: Sweetie, you're fine. The first 3-4 years of having your period, it's normally not on a perfect schedule. You'll be able to have children. It's not serious at all. You'll be fine! But if you keep stressing about not getting your period, it's not going to come any sooner. As a tip: If you do anything that causes stress or any physical activity, it delays your period. Nothing is wrong with you. You're FINE. It happened to me when I first started my period. You'll be fine. Hope this helped. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
frenchy answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 8:43 pm: hey. its irregular in the beginning and takes a while to settle, couple years, depending on the person. so its normal. dont worry about it. in the beginning for me it came like every 6 months and sometimes more or less. dont worry about it, its no big deal. i'm sure you'll be able to have kids later on. peace and love.

Toca_says answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 6:35 pm: Kayla... don't worry... it's normal.... when you first start your period it is very irregular.. it doesn't start to run a "schedule" until a year or so after... it's nothing serious.. and it doesn't mean you won't be able to have children... so just don't worry about it.. hope i helped =) [ Toca_says's advice column | Ask Toca_says A Question ]
Shortie8959 answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 6:19 pm: It's normal, because when you first start your period, it can get very irregular. But if you skip another one, I would see a gyno about it, because there could be something wrong. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

Sherry answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 6:14 pm: This is normal. Your period is irregular for about 3 years. People get their periods in different ways: every month, every other month, every 6 months, or maybe even every year. all depends! :) [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
rice06 answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 6:10 pm: Don't worry, you're fine. When most girls start their period they don't have an exact menstrual cycle down yet. So, this means that some people may not get their period for a year. don't worry once you get it you will be able to have kids. Good Luck! [ rice06's advice column | Ask rice06 A Question ]
FrEe2bMe answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 6:08 pm: Hey there. I wouldn't worry about this at all. What is happening is absolutely completely natural. Your period can often skips a couple months and be really irregular for the first 3 years or so of having a period. Another thing is, if you are really athletic, sometimes that can cause you to skip. I wouldn't worry about not being able to have kids. You are gunna be just fine! :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
