Answers:
yey! congratulations!!! and its good that ur not yet sexually active!.!.!. this menstrual cycle thing is already complicated itself,!.!.!. so wait to fully understand it yet before further complicating it by having sex!.!.!.

now as to your question, your menstrual cycle usually is started arbitrarily on the first day of ur menses, so thats june 3!. and from there u add 21 days or 35 days, and thats when u will expect ur next one, thats what is called the duration of ur cycle!. on average its usually 28 days for most women, but since its ur first year, expect to have some irregularities, such as delay, some prolonged period, etc!. because ur body is still trying to get used to these events that are happening!.

so what are the things to look out for!? hmm!.!.!. u would not want to have ur period too often at too close intervals ofcourse!. that is, they come within 21 days of ecah other, essentially seeming like ur having two periods each month!. Also, u might not want to have bleeding for more than 10 days even though they come at pretty much nornal (abt 28days apart) at regular intervals (every month)!. the reason for these are that, well as u bleed, u lose blood and u lose iron!. and u dont want that, it can cause weakness and fainting!. If that should happen, it is important to advise ur doctor ifit happens too often so that the situation can be corrected, and supplements be instated!.

what are the things that u must do!? ofcourse its important to change ur hygiene practices, such as getting a good feminine wash!. its also good to have lots of water during ur period to replenish ur fluids!.

what else do you need to know!? just remember that ur ovaries release an egg, ready for fertilization pretty much on the 14th day after ur period STARTED, (not ended) and this indicates a FERTILE period in ur cycle, that means if u have unprotected sex during or around this date (abt 4 days before and after) there will be a high likelihood that u can get pregnant!. otherwise, the other days are ur unfertile days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

From iemily!.com:

When will my periods get regular!?
It can take up to two years from your first period to start having a predictable cycle!. The older you are when you get your first period, the longer it can take to have a regular cycle!. Your stress level, changing exercise patterns, or eating habits can also influence how regular your periods are!. It's very normal, especially at first, to have periods that don't come regularly every month!. For most girls, they'll eventually settle down into a regular cycle!.

Keep track on a calendar when you get your periods!. From the first day of one period until the first day of the next one is one cycle!. In time, the cycle settles into a fairly consistent number of days for most girls and women!. If you know that you usually have 28 days between periods, for example, you can begin to predict when your period will come!. It's helpful to know when you'll get your period so you can be prepared!. You can have pads or tampons in your purse or locker to use, so accidents (like a stain on your jeans!) won't happen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

first off, some women never have a normal cycle length!. I have had my period for 17 years now and have never been regular!. for those that are though (the rest of the women in my family are on a regular cycle), the cycle length is usually somewhere around 28 days!. this means that you will bleed about 7 days, then you count 21 days out and that is about when you should start again!. in your case your period was from the 3rd until the 10th, count 21 days out, and you should have another period around the 1st of July!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well for one like said above, it's not time for your period to start again!. It should start around the time of your last period only a month later so somewhere around July 3!. Also if you have just recently starting having periods then they may be irregular, so they won't come on time every month!. Sometimes you might skip a month, it just depends!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Honey, its only been 16 days! I have never heard of anyone having a cycle that short and if they did, something would be wrong!. generally, a cycle is 28-32 days!. although for me for the longest time it was exactly a month apart!. ( like if I got it on say, September 5th I'd get it October 5th)!. This was your first one so you'll just have to wait a few more periods to figure out what your cycle is going to be like!. although, it may take a year or so for it to get regular!. welcome to womanhood lol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's okay!. First of all, everyone's cycle is different so maybe you have a spread out cycle!. Or u kind of implied that June 3rd was the first time u got ur period!. (u don't mention ur age) So wen a girl first gets their period it usually takes up to a year before you have a regular cycle!. It's kind of on and off!. If ur really worried then explain this to your doctor, friend, or mother!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'll be fine!. You will probably get it sometime this week!. If your not sexually active don't worry about it!. You could wear a pantiliner if you are worred about getting it in your pants!. just carry pads/tampons whichever you use to be prepared!. Can you talk to anyone about this, parent, older female sibling, school nurse!? They will help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you get it once a month every 28 day but if it was your first one you may be eregular for a will and not get it for a coupld of months but you may get it around the first for the first year dont be worry that you dont get it every 28 day only if you are have intercourse use condoms it take a will to become regularWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah, it's normal!.
Not lot's of people get their period on the same month!.

but anyways, you might not get your period for 2 or 3 months because it was your first period!. So don't be worried if you don't get it for a long time!. :) Just be prepared and bring some pads wherever you go!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would say it is normal!. A lot of times I start my period on the same day of every month!. For example, May 4th and April 4th!. Or if it isn't that same day its always a day early!. Its cool, nothing to worry about thoughWww@Answer-Health@Com

Cycles vary from 21-36 days and it takes about 3 years to get into a regular cycle!. Just wait!. Yes! Everything is very normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
