No, it's not normal, but I know it's not all that uncommon; plenty of girls have oddly irregular periods. I have a cousin who didn't know she was pregnant for the first FOUR months because it wasn't unusual for her to have missed her period for so long. But I'm no expert, of course.Tthe person you should refer to and trust with this issue is your gynecologist; if she says you're fine, you should be.
