my period....
(19 yr old f)
i've been having my period for like 5 years, and this year it started the first of january. and I got it again the 31st of january. So i should be having it like every 30 days. But (there were 28 days this february, right?...)...and it's march 11th and I havent had it again yyyet. Sometimes I can estimate when i will be getting it but sometimes i am not sure when its going to come. I have nnever been sexually active, so being pregnant is out of the question.... but is it ok...or not if i dont know when its going to start and it very rarely has a predictable pattern....?

i started when i was 14, too. im late all the time, and early on some months, its just a big mess. what you can try to do is get a calender, and mark on when you start, and then when it ends, mark it on the calender. do this for your next five periods and try to find a pattern, but like the person below me said, it takes a while for some women to develope a regular period. and since your not sexually active, theres really nothing to worry about :) but if you're still worried (for reasons i dont know ^.^) talk to your doctor and she/he'll tell you what you should do, or some medication you can take that'll regulate your periods.

More often than not, it can take upwards from 6 or so years for women to actually get a regular period. It's not uncommon to get it in weird intervals of time... like maybe after a month, then two, then a month and a half. A predictable pattern may not establish itself until you are in your twenties. Keep in mind all of the other factors that come into play here: stress, a new environment, poor nutrition etc.
It's not likely that there is something medically wrong with you. Of course, if you feel the need to, make an appointment!
Until then, there's not a whole lot you can do to see it coming. All you can do is be prepared.
Hope this helped!
