I'm quite anxious because i've never been late in my life, i'm always early if anything, and i haven't had my period in about forty days. I'm really worried because i hadn't noticed but i weighed myself recently and i've gained a few pounds. I can't be pregnant right? I am a virgin. Thank you!

hey I'm 13 but I've had my period since I was 11 and I have never been late ever, it always comes the same time of the month and I've really never missed. It has been 2 months since my last period, I've never had sex or done anything like that. I haven't been exercising lately nor been under a lot of stress so I don't know what is cause this. Is there any chance you can be present with out having sex or doing anything like that. Im very worried and don't know what is causing this. I am also very mature for my age and have devolped a lot and I haven't lost any weight. Plz send help

Hello Anon

You are not pregnant, your cycle is just a irregular. This can happen at any time, especially in the early teens.

Hello Anon

The first few years of periods can be quite irregular for some - this is frustrating but normal.

Hi, I'm 15 and I'm still a virgin. Due to me never having sex I'm slightly worried why my period is late. Recently, I googled causes to late/missed periods, the most likely option was stress. I have been under a lot of stress over the past month too yet I'm still worried However I'm not particularly convinced. I wondered if you could help me?!

Hello Anon
Stress is certainly a cause of a missed or late period. There isn't anything you can do but wait it out. These things generally turn out to be ok; you'll get back on track when your stress leaves.

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

You need to see your doctor about getting your reproductive hormones tested. A blood test can let you know if you have a hormonal disorder that is causing irregularity in your cycle.

Hey Susan
I'm thirteen and I'm late for my period. My last one lasted two days and was also late and I'm a virgin. What should I do?

Hello Alexandra

At 13, you may find your period are irregular a lot. There is nothing to do but wait for it and be prepared at all times, in case it comes along. It can take a few years to become regular when you're a teenager. It's annoying but for some girls, it takes a long time for the menstrual cycle to regulate.
Best,
Susan
