Q: 

What do you do if you have never had sex but you haven't had your period for about 32 days?

I am almost 14 years old. It may seem weird that I am on a website to ask about my lady problems but my mother and sister are no help and my dad, well, he is my dad. I have had my period for over a year and from then to now I have kept an accurate record of when I have gotten and when I have ended my menstrual cycle. Since January or December of this year (well not December, but ya) I have gotten my period on the 16th. It is now may and I expected to get my period yesterday but it didn't come. Hopefully I thought it would come today but it didn't. I am now really worried because I know I can't be pregnant since I have never had sex and it doesn't seem normal today to have not of had your period in 32 days. I have no idea what to do except to just wait and stress myself out. Please help me because I am not sure if this is just normal or if I am really going crazy.

Thank you very much,

A. N. W.

Just hang in there! Try to do some relaxation exercises and do something you enjoy or that makes you smile to relieve some stress. If you are not able to concentrate on anything until your period begins, try this "mind trick": write a note to yourself on a calendar 5 days from now that says, "OK to think about period". Give yourself permission to think about it on that day, and until then, any thoughts/worry that pass through your mind, you can just tell yourself that it is on your calendar and you will think about it on that day. In the meantime, just try to practice some stress-relieving activities.

Hi Anon
Sometimes cycles just vary. It is really common. It can be stress, illness, a change in diet or exercise, medication...there are many things that can throw a cycle off a bit.

If you haven't had sex you are not pregnant, so you need not worry about that. If your cycle gets way off, like weeks off, you may want to check in with your health care provider just to be sure everything is as it should be. But have you been stressed or worried lately? Have you been exercising heavily? These could be culprits.

Try not to worry too much. It will come. If you want to explore it further, write again and we'll see if we can help you. Good luck.
