I have been getting my period since I was 12, and sometimes it might come a few days late but never 26 days

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for seeking our help. It is not unusual for your menstrual cycle to be irregular when you are just beginning menstruation.

Anonymous, how long have you been getting a monthly period?
There is nothing to worry about. It is a good idea to keep track of your periods using a calendar. That way to become familiar with the length of your cycle. If you do not get a period for three consecutive months, schedule an appointment with your physician to be evaluated for a hormonal imbalance.

Regards,
Maryann
