Soo I'm pretty sure I was a couple days if not a week or so late for my period. When i finaly got it it only lasted not even two days. Is this a problem or should I just not be worried?

You can get one for $5.00 at Walmart or any drug store. The only difference between the more expensive one and the cheap one is that it detects a pregnancy before your missed period. However you already said it lasted a few days so you can get the cheap one.
Eldritch answered Tuesday March 17 2009, 1:47 am: This is very common. If you're under a lot of stress, you may not even get your period for several months.
Also, if you're under eighteen, the fact that you're still developing could be a contributor. Your hormones may have undergone a change, triggering a shorter period which will return to normal eventually, or possibly just stay lighter.
Still, anything abnormal should be checked by a healthcare professional, especially if it is accompanied by increased pain or if you experienced cramping when you usually don't (or no cramping when you usually do). [ Eldritch's advice column | Ask Eldritch A Question ]
