Question Posted Thursday December 6 2007, 10:42 pm
So I'm having some period problems...
14/f/been on my period for three years
The last time I got my period was around November 3. I've been spotting for the past two weeks, but it comes and goes and I haven't gotten my period yet. Today I spotted just a little bit, but the blood was like a stark red rather than a darker red which I've never experienced before. I've never really been irregular, which is the only reason I' stressing right now. I've been experiencing some stomach pains and extreme breast soreness. I know that these are symptoms of PMS, but I've never had PMS like this before.
Also, I'm one hundred percent not pregnant.
I know that this is the typical, 'I'm late on my period, oh my god what do I do' type of question, but I really am kind of worried. Any advice or tips or guidance is welcomes.

If you have some of these symptom, you really do need to talk to a parent. I know how hard that can be. Trust me, I went through that myself. But knowing is so much more important than a few moments of akward, embarassing conversation. [ Klinque's advice column | Ask Klinque A Question ]

Or it could be hormonal. Most likely you have nothing to worry about, but it might be better to speak to your gynecologist about it..she/he can ask you some health questions, and maybe take a blood test to look at your hormone levels (and other things) to see what could be causing it. But they are probably going to tell you the same thing I am- but to be sure, they might run additional tests and analyze your health history to be completely sure.
