Question Posted Friday April 29 2005, 4:14 pm

13/f ; as you know, it is April 29 and there is only one day (after this) left of the month. well.. i haven't gotten my period yet for the month of april! i didn't have sex so it couldn't have been that situation with the missed period thing. so my question is, do you have any idea of some sort as to why i haven't gotten my period this month? (and if it helps i got my first period one month before my 12th birthday) ; also, i have a swim meet next saturday (may 7). and if my period doesn't come for the month of april im thinking my period will come down hard for the month of may. im scared that it will happen in the first week of may and last a while. see, im not ready to use a tampon yet because im too scared and im sure that if i tell the coach the reason why i dont/cant attend the meet he's going to tell me to use a tampon since he did the same thing to my sister a few years ago. im just not ready for that yet and im so clueless as to what to do. im pretty sure that the coach wont give me any sympathy =/ ;please give me some advice to my situation(s), it will help me so much and i would greatly appreciate it

Some giRls who paRticipate in lots of spoRts oR exeRcise may actually stop menstRuating RegulaRly; and that's all fine, dandy and noRmal. Also, have you been Really stRessed lately?? StRess is anotheR Reason someone might skip theiR cycle. AnotheR possible Reason is eating disoRderRs, especially when a giRl is eating veRy little and getting thinneR and thinneR can cause amenoRRhea [the medical teRm foR no peRiods]. An imbalance in some hoRmone levels can also lead to missed cycles oR iRRegulaR bleeding. I suppose it's always possible that it could come on double stRong duRing the month of May -- that's ceRtainly NOT uncommon. And you shouldn't Really feaR using a tampon, DaRlin'... they come in all diffeRent sizes, so you have an excellent shot at finding an appRopRiate size. They also have a Rounded tip, which eases insteRtion. TheRe's step by step diRections on the back of the box that can help you if you'Re unsuRe. HoweveR, I *COMPLETELY* undeRstand and Respect that you'Re not Ready foR that quite yet - it's no biggie. And I'm shoRe you'Re Right... if you tell youR coach that you can't make it on account of youR cycle, he'd pRobably say use tampons.. but he *CAN NOT MAKE* you do anything you wish not to do, do you Really shouldn't feel pRessuRe by him. To be peRfectly honest, I can't Really tell you what to do in this situation; soRRie... I wish I could. What it all comes down to is if you'Re not Ready and willing to use tampons... then I guess you can't make it.. but you shouldn't feel bad oR guilty about it at all!! Bottom line, don't eveR do something you'Re uncomfoRtable with just because someone elses says so! I wish you the veRy best of luck! Hopefully I've been of at least some help heRe! Thanks foR the question, and know that you can always come back to me if you eveR need a second opinion! Take caRe! =D
