YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

My period is late! What's going on?


 
Usually I get my period around the same time every month, but I’m about two weeks late and I’m worried. I’ve gained a little bit of weight, too. What’s going on?

Gaining weight, especially when your body is still adjusting to menstruation, is totally normal. Between the junk food cravings and the bloating, it’s not unusual for you favorite pair of jeans to feel just a little bit snug.

From your question, though, it sounds like you’re worrying about something else entirely: pregnancy. Remember, babe, if you’ve never had sex or been intimate with a guy, the chances of you being pregnant are zilch. If you are in a relationship that’s starting to heat up, make sure that safety comes first. There are tons of birth control options out there.

So why is your period late? Lots of things can affect the timing of Aunt Flo’s arrival. Anything from illness to end-of-the-year stress could through the hormones that control your cycle off-balance. Chances are you’ll get your period soon, so keep pads or tampons handy.  Still worried? Pay your doctor a visit to make sure you’re in tip-top shape.

sorry to bug you, but I have some questions (:
How do I ask my dad (my mom died after I was born) to buy me a different kind of pad? Cause the ones he bought me yesterday were wayyy to thin and I blend through them in like 30 mins. I feel bad though cause he bought me a whole box of Kotex ones, and those are expensive.
and my other question is, how long are periods supposed to last? And how can you to when your gonna get it again after the first one ends?




Hey girl, 1) just tell your dad that. Tell him you appreciate his helping you with your period, but you need a thicker pad for your heavier days (so like, overnight for example). The thin pads will be useful for the end of your period. 2) Periods last about a week, but they get lighter as the week goes on. 3) You get your period again about a month later, hence the word "monthly" to describe it.

Hey girl,

Irregularity can be normal when you are first starting out your period, but there's no harm in talking to your mom or a doc to be sure!

I'm 14 & had my period for about 2 years. I've been late before alot and missed before (but not alot) and I missed in January. My grandfather passed away in November of last year and we had midterms & I've been under alot of stress with grades and things. Could this be why I missed/am late? Or is there something else that could be going on?




Hey girlie,

Those are DEFINITELY factors that could have made an impact. Periods can be affected by changes in stress level, diet, sleep patterns, exercise, emotions, etc. It's totally normal for your period to be a little irregular, even after two years. Just keep an eye on it. If you completely miss two months straight, it could be worth chatting with your doctor to make sure nothing is wrong. But right now, try to relax and know you're 100% normal <3

So Ive had my period for like two years and it's still not regular. Last month got it around this time. School starts tomorrow and I'm worried if it'll come on the first day of school. Do you think I should wear a pad to school just in case?




Hey girl,

I know it's a pain, but it's still totally normal for it to be slightly irregular. But I wouldn't wear a pad to school just in case! Talk about uncomfy. Instead, bring one with you and stash it in your purse/backpack. Then just go to the bathroom every couple hours to make sure you're good Smile
