Started my period!! And as always, there is a problem.. Grr
So, I started my period last month, January 13, and I am 12. Well, 21 days has come and gone, and I don't have my period. My friend has had her period twice in the time I have only had 1!!! It is very aggravating and I don't know anything about this! Some one help.
Oh and if it helps, I'm and orphan, my foster parents give me everything I need and I stay in my room because they are usually, um, er, baby making. Marissa Lay isn't a mother to me and Joseph barely has time for me between his job and his baby making. But I can tell he loves me very much. My email is suhailashewolf@gmail.com go ahead and email you're answer, please!

Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
When you first start your period, it can be irregular. So you shouldn't worry too much about it. If you do get concerned, just go see a doctor.
And with your other problem, just talk to your foster parents. Explain how your feeling and see what happens.

Congrats! When you first start (menarche) your menstrual cycle is irregular and over time becomes set so it's not unusual to have it now and not have another for awhile.
Nothing to freak over but if concerned see a doctor to try and figure your cycle out and always be prepared.
As far as your foster parents go it may be a good idea to ask them if you can work with a therapist as there are a lot of issues bothering you that you feel you can't talk about.
Explain to them that you appreciate them but as a foster child you aren't able to feel truly a part of a family and want so desperately to feel secure and part of their family. You just need reassurance that's all.
Also, although you aren't close with your foster mom you need to know you can go to her for any advice you need. You should tell her about your period and any concerns or fears about it. She was your age once and this may actually help you bond with her and communicate better especially about sensitive stuff. I think you need an older female to talk to. If not her maybe there's an older sister figure in your household.

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear about the family situation you have going on since you can't talk to anyone.
You really should tell your foster mother that you've had it. I know it seems like a big deal but you really don't have to make it one when you tell her you've had it.
About the period. If it's your first period then chances are it will be irregular for a while. As long as you're in good health, then you should be fine where your irregularity is concerned. Not all girls' period is 21 days apart. Mine aren't.
If your friend has been having her period for a while now, then chances are she's developed a regular cycle so you don't need to worry.
