Period + Kids
Is it true that if your period is abnormal .. like it is a period that you never expect it to come and it skips a few months .. that you won't be able to have a baby when you get olderI'm 15 and I started my period at March (9 months ago) And I haven't had it since July (5 months ago) And I know there isnt anything wrong with me because my friend is the same way and her doctor said there is nothing wrong with her. And I read articles about your period not getting regular until a year after. But my question is .. Does this mean I won't be able to have kids? Because I want them and I don't want that to happen!

For some girls, it takes a while for their periods to level off.
But consider what pregnancy involves. Egg plus sperm. If you ovulate, you're going to conceive. Then the zygote attaches to the uterine wall. You menstruate, therefore the thick lining IS being replaced now and then.
So relax. We all worry, "...Does it work?" Trust me, when biology actually works and you create life, you'll be amazed.

No, ususally its okay. Until after about a year or so, mine wasn't normal. I know 5 months is a lot, but you should be fine. Although I'm not a total expert on this, you should be able to have kids. If you're really worried, maybe try to find a doctor who will help you.

Hah, no. Yeah, it takes a year on average for your period to become regular (i think a year, maybe a little longer??). There are different things that affect your period. I read somewhere that if you change environments (like if you go to camp or something) then your period might go away until you come back or something. Don't worry about the not being able to have kids thing. it's not true.

You should be able to have kids, I wouldn't worry about that too much now though with you being 15. Even though it's horrible times I advise you that after a year of having your period to go to a OBGYN(Gyno) and have them check you out and give you a pap and such, then you can ask them loads of questions and they should be able to give you all the answers you need.
But no worries, your period is just irregular, and you're probably just as fertile enough to have kids.

No, I know lots of my friends that read this, but I'm not embarassed to say that I've had the same problem. My period is so unregular I've made my mom make me appointments with my doctor about all this. The only way you can't have kids is if you NEVER get your period. No matter how irregular it is you are still fine for now. I had gotten my period for the first time last March, didn't get it again until around July 4th weekend because I had it when we drove up to NY, and then I got it again once more in like the end of September and my doctor said it was perfectly fine. I know that you're asking if you can still have kids and if my doctor told me I was perfectly fine then I would assume that meant perfectly fine. Not having your period doesn't make you infertile (I know that's not the right word but it's the only way I can think of putting it, well if it's in the correct usage) I mean not having your period does mean that, but having an irregular period doens't mean you can't have kids. Your period can be irregular from 1-4 years. I don't know the exact thing, my doctor printed something out and gave it to my mom who gave it to me. Just a bunch of medical talk saying I was fine. So yeah, you should be fine too!!

Oh, there's nothing wrong with you!! It's perfectly normal for your period to fluctuate -- to have it one month, then skip two months, have it one month, then another month, then skip four months. It's just that your body hasn't learned to be regular. You're fine. You should be able to have children normally when the time comes.

That is completely untrue.
Young girls periods are often irregular, some woman are irregular their whole lives. It can occasionally make conceiving a bit harder, but certainly not impossible.
Ask your doctor next time you see them if you are really concerned but you sound fine to me.

That's not true. However, if you have concerns, you should definately talk to your mom or a doctor. Also, just because the doctor told someone one thing, it doesn't mean that it goes for everyone else.
However, there shouldn't be anything wrong with you. It is very normal to have irregular periods, especially when you are first starting. It can also take longer than just 1 year for your period to become regular. I started when I was 12, and I never had a single regular period until I was 19, after I'd had a baby.
Irregular periods are not an indication of your ability to bear children at a later age. Remember, whenever you have a concern like this, your mom and your doctor are your best source of help.

no not at all! for the first 2 years or so it will be very irregular and that is totally normal. mine is like that too. of after several years it is still like that you may have trouble getting preggo because of your lack of periods but you have a much greater chance of getting osteoperosis b/c of an irregular period(y i dont know) if you are worried see a doctor. if they are worried that can give you medicine that should help regulate your period
