Where's My Period?

I haven't had my period for a while, like more than month going on two. Am I missing a period because I'm pregnant? I'm not sexually active though! Are there other reasons to miss a period or for it to be late? Two months is skipping a period, right?

Two months without getting your period is considered skipping it, but you shouldn’t worry too much. Since you aren’t sexually active, you can’t be pregnant. There are other reasons girls miss their periods, one of which will probably explain why this happened!

First of all, since your period is still irregular, it’s completely possible that this is just nature being weird. Even though two months without a period can be considered skipping it, some girls have a few periods and then go four or five months before it comes again! If it’s just your period being irregular, there’s no cause and nothing you can do.

You could also unintentionally cause this. If you’ve slimmed down a lot recently, that may affect your period. As long as you’re healthy, though, that probably isn’t the reason. The last probably excuse is stress. If you’ve been under a lot (whether it’s a fight with a friend, exams coming up, or something that’s going on with your family) it can make you miss a period.

The bottom line? Make sure you’re eating healthily, and if you’re stressin’ come up with a way to relieve it, like yoga or journaling. Don’t forget to give your doc a heads up at your next check up, too.

mod* i heard once that a girl can start around the same time her mom or sisters did. like its hereitary or somethin. my mom got hers when she was 17, but my sisters did at like 14 or 15. is this true?thankss.

 

I think what your referring to is how girls in the same household tend to be on the same menstrual cycle.  This can happen but it also may not.  Don't be worried by the ages you sisters and Mom got their periods!  Yours will come in its own time!

mod mod mod i have not gotten my peroid yet and im going in two eigth grade, but my mom got hers in sixth grade, when she was my age we were in the same grade, and normaly most girls have it the same time there parents do, right? is that normal that i have not gotten my peroid yet? and what are the ages most girls get theirs

 

Some girls do get it that same time that their Moms but some girls don't.  Nothing is wrong with you!  It is completely normal.  You will get it when you get it so don't feel like you have to compare yourself to other girls who have already gotten it.
