Answers:
You should see a doctor- they can help you regulate it on birth control, even if you don't exactly know what's causing it!.
Its possible that you have something called polycystic ovary syndrome- it's not dangerous when you're young, but it will keep your period from being regular!.

See a doctor if you're extremely concerned, but it usually takes a few years for your period to become regular anyway!. Getting it checked out will give you peace of mind, and they can help you fix it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There's a condition called secondary amenorrhea, when someone who had normal periods stops menstruating for at least 3 months!. Low levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) frequently bring on amenorrhea!.

Stress, anorexia, weight loss or gain, stopping birth control pills, thyroid conditions, and ovarian cysts are examples of things that can throw your hormones out of whack!.

To get everything back on course you should see a doctor who may use hormone therapy!. If a medical condition is affecting your monthly cycles, then treatment of the condition will help to resolve the problem!.

Lots of strenuous exercise combined with a poor diet can also cause amenorrhea!. Cutting back on exercise and eating a balanced diet with more calories may help correct the problem, but be sure to talk with your doctor as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should go to see a doctor, but If you have been exercising ALOT and you didn't before, that could be the change!.
I know that girls who participate in the gymnastics portion of the olympics get judged by their coaches on how hard they are working out on whether or not they get their period, they said if they do get their period, they aren't working hard enough!.

But i would definately tell your mom/gaurdian!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your still young periods in teenagers tend to be erratic and not always predictable!. plus stress, major weight gain/loss, and tons of physical activities can play a role in delaying or stopping a period for months on end!. if there is no chance of being pregnant i would not worry but none the less keep track of your periods for future referencesWww@Answer-Health@Com

Have you lost a lot of weight, honey!? Or are you stressed!? Both of these can make periods skip or stop for a while!. I still skip them sometimes and I'm 20 now, one or two isn't anything to worry about but make sure you're eating enough!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
