First period, is it okay to be irregular? Scared!!


Question: First period, is it okay to be irregular!? Scared!
I got my period in May and I've had it once or twice since then, and I didn't really see much blood until last week, when I had it!. Now it's 5 days since it stopped, and I noticed a little blood when I went to the bathroom!. Is this normal!? I'm really scared, but my mom said she had it for a month when she first got it!. Please help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Kiddo, its totally normal!.

Your periods will come and go as they please for about a year until it starts to regulate!.

Spotting or having a period for a couple of days, then spotting again is all normal!. So just keep pads with you where ever you go!.

The only time you need to be worried is if you have clots that are larger than the size of a nickel, you soak a pad or tampon within an hour or if you get severe cramps that stop you from doing daily things!. If those things happen, see your doctor right away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You and your mom are different people!. Your periods might be similar, but they won't be the same!.

No girl is regular when she first gets her period!. If you're under 11 when you get your first period, it'll be 1 to 2 years before it's regular!. If you're 11 to 12, it can take up to 2 or 3 years!. If you're over 12, it can be up to 4 or 5 years before it's very predictable!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's normal!. I had the same problem and my doctor put me on birth control it fixed the problem and made my periods a lot easier to tolerate!. Good luck don't stress too much it'll delay your period longer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is completely normal, and nothing to worry about for a few years!.

In a couple years you should get regular bleeding once a month!. It's just strange at the start of menstruation and at the end of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's fine to be irregular when you first start! Some people are never regular their whole life and that's just fine!.Everyone is different!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
