19 with Irregular Period?
19/f
I have been having an irregular period for about the last year or so. I first got my period when I was 13, and it didn't regulate until I was maybe 15. When it regulated itself, it stayed normal and then last July when I was 18, my period completely stopped. In December of 09, I started spotting and it stayed like that until I think April and then I got a normal period. That was my last normal period in almost a year. Since that period, I haven't had my period and I've gone back to spotting. There is no chance that I am pregnant (and yes, I'm 100% sure) and I'm not on birth control. I did some research online and figured it could be my diet or weight gain (but my weight gain hasn't been significant) but I don't know for sure.
I would've seen a doctor about this, but I lost my health insurance because I no longer live at home with my parents & am not a full time student. I'm going to try to get an appointment at Planned Parenthood, but until then, does anyone have an idea of what might be wrong with me? I know that none of you are doctors, but I'm worried and just want an opinion from others.
Thanks!

Most women have irregular periods. They are also thrown off by any number of things. Weight gain or loss & stress are a couple of them.
DO, see a doctor or clinic and put your mind at ease. Other causes are possible. You don't mention being in pain or anything though, so just guessing
you don't have any major female problems. I am not a doctor. Peace of mind is worth a lot when it comes to our health. Period problems can cause trouble getting pregnant when you are older and ready for that in your life. It sure doesn't hurt to get some answers now, because most problems can be resolved with medical attention.
