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!

I started my period 3 months ago. It’s now about a week late. I’m a virgin and I’ve never even got close to even holding hands with anyone. But im super worried and I’ve been stressing a lot over it lately. Anything will be helpful.

At your age irregularity is not uncommon as you are still maturing. There are other reasons why you may have a late/missed period also. The most common are - stress, a change in routine, hormonal imbalance, excessive exercise, illness, a poor diet, taking medications, changing birth control methods, weight gain or weight loss, thyroid issues, eating disorders or a change in body chemistry.

Hi I am 15 years old and I have a very regular menstrual cycle. However, I am 7 days late and have had my period for over 3 years now, and not once has it been late. I also am a virgin and am aware that I cannot be pregnant. What should I do?

Hi,

At your age, it's not uncommon to experience some period irregularity, even if you are typically regular. Your body is still maturing. Many things can impact the menstrual cycle, stress, a change in body chemistry, illness, a change in lifestyle, etc. Try to relax and wait for your period to arrive.

I’m 16 years old and a virgin. My periods are usually once every two months, a little irregular. But I haven’t had a period in almost 9 months now and I’ve put on weight that I can’t seem to get off

Hello.

It's never normal for your period to just stop. You need to see a doctor who can examine you and diagnose the reason for this.
