Answers:
It is very normal for a teen girl to have irregular periods for the first two years of starting her period!. Irregular can be missing periods or more than one period a month!. This is your body's way of adjusting to womanhood!.

However, stress, poor diet, hormone problems, and some medications can cause a period to come more than once a month!.

A checkup can help determine if you need any medication or treatment such as iron supplements to prevent anemia or antibiotics for an infection!.

So it is important to see your doctor, and all young women who have started their period should be established with a gynecologist!. If you don't have a GYN, talk to your mom about setting up an appointment with one!.

Good luck, and hang in there!Www@Answer-Health@Com

actually i have a friend who has her period for 18 straight days every month
so even if you think your situation is bad, it could be worse!.
basically (depending on how old you are, usually a young age) your irregular because your hormones are out of control!.
if having your period more than once a month is really hard for you i would reccomen going on birth control!. and that will stop your periods and you'll have like 4 a year!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go to your doctor!. It is possible that you just have an imbalance due to stress!. When my mother died, my body reacted in a similar way, then stopped having any period at all for about 5 months!. My doctor recommended a D&C which worked to even out my periods!. Afterward, I was back on schedule and haven't strayed off again!.

Your gyno can check for you to see if that would make a difference!. Please go!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

This isn't super uncommon but it's definitely not healthy!. Loosing that much blood can cause you to become anemic!. You need to go to the doctor and find out what it's causing this!. Going on the pill is a very good idea in this circumstance because it will regulate your cycles!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
