If you are somewhere in the first 2 years of the very first start of getting a period, then your body is still regulating itself. It is quite normal to have longer periods, shorter ones or none at all and anywhere from just spotting to heavy flow and combo's of all those. If it's still happening after 2 yrs, it's likely time for your first gynecological exam anyways. Let mom know and she can set up an appointment and be moral suppport...she's a girl....she's been there before. Or if you're the very private type and don't want mom to know, then I'd say to go to a Planned parenthood facility. They do exams too.

I actually asked my doctor that once and she said it ok if your in teen years because teens have Different hormones and stuff but if your older Im sure you should ask a Doctor about it can be something serious.. Hope I helped :)

There is really not enough information here to answer your question. What I will say is relax the chances are that there is nothing wrong. When a young lady first starts her period they are very irregular. So to get a period one month then skip a month or so can be quite normal.
Now for some grandfatherly advice. Since I am of that age I will offer you some.
There is nothing to be embarrassed about when it comes to a bodily function such as your period. It is as normal for a woman as just about any other bodily function you have. Yes, the first thought most parents are going to ask is if you're pregnant or if you could be pregnant. It is sort of natural for them to think that way.
If as you say you are a virgin, then very calmly answer your mother or father with, no I am not pregnant I am still a virgin. I say this to you for mom or dad in the event mom is not available, is the best person to answer these questions.
Remember you and mom are built exactly alike. Sure on the exterior you may be different but inside you have the same parts and they operate the same way. Mom will know, once you put her at ease about the pregnancy thing, what the best to do in certain situations.
In your present situation I believe mom will agree with me that nothing is wrong and that you are normal. That a wait and see attitude here is best. If you are really upset you can ask mom to make an appointment with her gynecologist to examine you and put your mind at rest. This is something given what I believe may be your age that does require you talking with mom or dad as they are the ones, until you are 14, that have to make the doctors appointment.
