Period and Stomach.
Okay, so according to my mother, most girls get about 28 days (four weeks) between periods, and it lasts for about five days.
I get about 20 days (about three weeks) between periods. Is this unusual? Anything to consult my doctor about?
Also, I've been having some serious stomach issues. Sometimes I'm in the bathroom all day, sometimes I'm absolutely positive I'm going to puke (but I never do) and sometimes I'm in great pain.
Any ideas on what's causing this?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

There is no constant pattern. My friend once got it for a month straight. I have gotten it within 20 days once. I was completely shocked. It was out of my general timing. They sometimes come early and sometimes they coem late.
I get the same thing with the stoamch issues. I feel like I'm going to puke, sometimes I do. Sometimes I'm in such pain I can't get out of bed or even more. Where I go home early or I'm home from school.
The pain is pretty much cramps. Just much worse cramps. The best thing is excerise cramps are blood that doesn't move, if you walk around and move your legs you could feel a bit better.
Also, my mom told me that banana's help your period. My mother is an expert at this kinda stuff, but I haven't been able to try it. She only told me 3 months ago.. We always have banana's right before my period comes, they go bad and she throws them out. Then I complain that I have it and we don't have any, then she buys them the day after it ends.. I don't how she is with her timing but anyways, I never tried the banana thing, but chances are it probably works.
If that doesn't work, ask you mom and your doctor if you can go on birth control pills, they are suppose to help reduce cramps and pain when you have your period.
I hope you feel better.

Your mom's right, but you may be interpreting that a little differently than she meant it. Yes, periods are four weeks apart (generally), BUT that's from the day you start in one month until the day you start in the next month. So for example, if you got your period on March 15 and then again sometime around April 15, then that would be regular (and most likely there would be 20 actual in between days). So that's not something to be worried about.
However, something to consult your doctor about is when your period severely hinders your daily performance- like when you're in the bathroom all day. I would definitely go to the doctor about that. You know, most of the time when teenage girls are put on birth control, it is to regulate periods and make cramps not as sucky. So it would not be weird for someone to suggest birth control to you. Supposedly eating bananas (because of the potassium) and drinking lots of water eases cramps. And Tylenol is pretty sweet too.
I hope things get better for you :)

sometimes period come early, other times they come late. It takes time for it to be regular.
The pain could be normal menstral(sp?) cramps. If this pain only comes with your period, then it has to do with that. If this pain is unbarable for you and when pain killer don't have any effect, then consult a doctor.

so alot of the time some girls just have irregular periods for the first few months or years for that matter.
playing sports can also affect it...the more you play the more irregular you become.
the pains in the stomach..could just be cramps(and you can take advil,tylenol, or midol is great. if after a while the pains continue and become unbearable, then i would talk you your mom about it and then take things from there.
good luck
