Period
I had my period since I was 11 (5th grade) and now I'm 15 (10th grade) and my period STILL isn't regular. However I get it usually every 21 days/3 weeks instead of the normal woman's cycle - 28 days/4 weeks. But this time my period never came and it's been OVER 28 days which is unusual for me and probably other women too. Is it normal to get a period like over 28 days cause it's been 30 days since my last period. There's no way I'm pregnant, I did't change my diet and exercise, and I'm not stressed out. And say I go to the doctor/gyno. What can they do for me?

Women's cycles can vary. Some women have 21 day cycles and some have cycles as long as 45 days, and that's just the ones the are regular.
I would suggest going to your gyno. They can check to see if there's something causing the irregular periods and possibly prescribe birth control pills to regulate your period.

Your period just isnt regulated yet.. It takes some time for it to become regular.. I have a younger sister shes almost your age. And her period is still like that.. If you go to your doctor or a gyno... they maybe recommend putting you on a type of birthcontrol that will help regulate your period... Some of the the birthcontrols they recommend help with cramping if you get that... and it reduces the bleeding that you have...
Hope This Helps... Good Luck

28 days is the average cycle length, but women's cycles vary from 3 to 5 weeks. If you have a period roughly every 21 days, that doesn't mean you aren't normal and regular, it just means that you have a shorter than average cycle.
Your period is late according to your cycle, but it's not late enough to be concerning. Sometimes our bodies just feel like behaving a little differently. You've mentioned that you don't think stress or diet are factors, and though these are the most common causes of delayed periods, sometimes it's just your hormones being a bit wacky, or other factors that affect your body, such as travelling affecting your body-clock.
Basically, I wouldn't worry for the time being. If you have no other symptoms, the chances are it's just your body taking it's time for some reason. If it still hasn't arrived in the next week to two weeks, then I would mention it to your doctor, but even then there's no reason to alarmed. All the best.

The lunar month is actually 29.5 days long, so 30 is not a big variation. And at your age, some variability is quite normal.
Various factors can shorten or lengthen the time between periods. Stress, for example. Or weight loss or gain - but from your question, it looks as if those don't apply.
If you're living with another menstruating woman (your mother, for example), your period may be in the process of synchronizing with hers. Although I'd think that that would have already happened, since you've been menstruating for four years.
In any case, at 30 days it's much too early to worry. Give it a few more days, at least. If your period still hasn't shown up by next week, you can call your doctor or OB/GYN. They might want to take a look for you, but the odds are very good that they'll just tell you the same thing that I did.

The doctors can help figure out what is wrong. It may just be hormones, it may not. It is better to be safe.
Periods may not be regular for some time! You're still a teenager, and hormones are still running wild. And the cycle changes for each person. Yours may be shorter or longer than the average.
