Getting Random Periods? *Girls only, please*
So I got my first period about a year ago. I've always gotten my period about every other month or every 2 months. It creeps me out because I scare myself into thinking I could've got pregnant somehow. I got my last period around 2 months from this time, and I still haven't got it. Is this normal?

This is normal and something that unfortunately moms forget to tell their daughters or sex ed classes leave out. But trust us, it is quite normal. I started at 14 and it took until I was about 16 before it began to be regular. Heres a website that discusses this situation:

Well it’s not unusual, especially in the first 2 years after menarche, to skip periods or to have an irregular menstrual cycle. Especially in your teen years with your body changing during puberty and hormonal fluctuation, you may notice that you have irregular periods which is not uncommon. It may take several years for your cycle to become regular.
Also some reasons for late/missed periods are: stress, pregnancy, intense exercising, excessive weight loss or weight gain, eating disorders, contraceptives and hormonal birth control, change in diet or routine, ongoing illness, some types of medication, hormonal imbalances.
Try not to stress out, if you are worried then go and see a doctor to put your mind at ease.

Your periods are very very irregular like that for the first few years, so don't stress out, it's completely normal.
