I got my period at 14 and then it stopped for over a year! I believe that it is normal at first for periods to be quite irregular. Your body is growing up and things are not quite "set" yet. My period was strange for a few years before it became regular.
June 10, 2009 - 10:39amIf you need your mind set at ease, maybe you could visit your family doctor? Personally, I would be happy; a period is not all that much fun!
LOL! Don't worry, it will be back, and with force!

Hi Mikhaela,
It is very common to skip your periods especially right when you begin to experience them. It is just your body starting to move into womanhood.
You said you are worried? Is there a reason why you are worried or are you just concerned since you started and then stopped for a few months so fast?
Please give us more information.
June 10, 2009 - 11:45amThanks. im yes acutally concerned. i thought they were the same word? anyways instead for the past week im having all this clear yuck stuff coming out. wats that?
June 11, 2009 - 8:22amHi, Mikhaela. Thanks for your questions!
That clear "yuck" stuff is part of your cycle. It's called cervical mucus. Sometimes it will be cloudy-looking, other times it will look clear and somewhat stretchy, like egg whites. Is that what you're seeing?
There's nothing wrong. The cervical mucus changes based on when you ovulate. At the beginning of your monthly cycle, there is little or none. As you get closer to ovulation, it's cloudy and sort of sticky. When you're ovulating, it turns clear and stretchy. After you ovulate, it gets drier again, and sticky. That's all between periods, ok?
Tell me if that makes any sense to you, 'cause if it doesn't I'm glad to give you more details. It's very cool that you came here to ask these questions and I want to help you understand what's going on.
I agree with RLyons and Miscortes, it's not at all abnormal for your period to be very irregular during your first couple of years of having it. But the fact that you're having the clear, stretchy mucus makes me guess that you might start your period again in another couple of weeks.
