Missed Period at 13: Understanding Potential Causes & Concerns


Question
Well I am 13 and a girl and I have not had sex but I have not come on my period for this month and there are 7 more days of this month left?Could I be pregnant?Is my cycle not regulated or something?
P.S-My last period was on June 12 and it lasted for about 4-5 days.
Also,what if I end up having 2 periods in August?
And every since school ended on June 6th,I haven't even been around boys actually.

Answer
Corrina,

I'm confused on why you'd even consider pregnancy if you haven't been near a boy in the past month.  No, it's very, very, very (very) unlikely that you are pregnant.


It's quite common for cycles to fluctuate at your age due to growth, hormones, stress, etc.  You most likely will just skip this period and resume at a later date, not having 2 periods in August.


There are many, many adult women who don't have a period every month for the same types of reasons.  So, give it a couple more weeks and if it hasn't started, then you may want to visit your doctor to find out exactly why, as it could be a problem with your thyroid or something similar.



Best,
Catherine
