period
O.K. I have been on my period since the middle of sixth grade and I'm now in eighth grade. I have skipped a lot of periods in the past and I was wondering if that has anything to do with having kids. Will I still be able to have kids and is this serious? Now, my period has been going for a MONTH! Is that normal for a 13 year old girl, even if I started almost three years ago?
Signed,
Kayla

no, you will still be able to have kids. and yes, it is normal for it to last that long every once in a while. one of my best friends had a period that lasted for a month and a half.

Kayla,
This can be due to exercising more then normal exercise habits. If you are working out a lot you may skip your period for a year or more. For the bit about having your period for an entire month, you may want to check with a doctor. I have a very close friend who had this same problem, but she had only had her period for a few months. I am sure it will not affect your ability to have children, and will probably even out as you get older.

It's not uncommon to have an iRRegulaR patteRn foR the fiRst few yeaRs; I seveRely doubt you have ANYTHING to woRRie about. And no, this iRRegulaR patteRn won't pRevent youR child beaRing abilities. :)

Yes it can interfere with have kids, so when you are ready to have kids, you'll go to an OB/GYN and tell them that your periods a not regular, and likely they will work with you to get them regular so that you can conceive. There are all kinds of ways. But think that you can't get preganant if your periods are irregular, it is just harder.

It seems like it's out of control and not normal at all, but trust me it is. I've had mine for almost 5 years and it still comes whenever the hell it feels like it. Your period doesn't start to regulate until you've had it for at lest 3-4 years. It can take longer, or it can be regulated as soon as you start getting it. Yes, you will be able to have kids and it's not serious at all. It happens to more girls than you'd think. If in a year or two it is still not regular, you can have the option (with your parent's approval of course) to start using birth control pills to regulate it. Birth control pills are not only used for preventing pregnancy, but you can use it to regulate your period, decrease acne, and even reduce your signs of PMS. But yes, it's completely normal to have your period completely out of whack right now. It's really nothing to be concerned about, but it most definately is something to be annoyed about.
