Skipping a period?

Question:

Recently i seem to be skipping a period, I had one in march, then skipped april, then had a really painful one in may and havent had one since then. Is there something seriously up?!

Answers:
Well your only 18 so Menopause is unlikely, (but possible).
Has your periods been regular up until now?
Ask your mam, gran, aunts, older cousins, if they have menstrual cycles like this (to see if it's 'normal' for your family), if they don't have periods with this time frame, see your doctor to rule out any diseases or hormone problems such as thyroid or patuaty abnormalitys.

(spell checker wont correct 'patuaty' i must be way off with the spelling. lol)

There could be a number of reasons, so best go to your doctors for some tests. I have Polycistic Ovaries and one of the symptoms is missing periods. It could be a thyroid problem but a simple blood test should shed some light.

i missed a period then had a bit of one the month after,, i thought that was strange so i did a pregnancy test and it was positive,, any chance you could be pregnant?? go and see your doc and put your mind at rest

We all have our little blibs throughout our lives. As long as you are fit and well i wouldn't worry just yet. Could some kind of emotional stress have delayed it? Or could you have been having a miscarriage in May? I think the real time to worry is when you have excessive bleeding.

u may have ur period every 2mths its different for everyone

im sure its fine. but if you are really worried, you could go to the Drz to see whatz up.

you should see your doctor to see what it could be it might be something bad and you should know what it is.

docs ASAP

Dont worry! one time i skipped my period for 3 months! and my mom thought i was pregnant! l0l but i wasnt! at one time in everyones period they skip months. its perfectly normal! : )

Ok so in this case, I would say you have till you´re 18 to get your periods on time, but as you´re 18 you must know period can change due to gainning or losing weight, stress, and many things. But don´t be concerned unless you had sex, (I hope not) you are 18 and your body is still adjusting to the level of hormones.

Good Luck!! ;D

i skipped like 2 periods once. was kind of nice but annoying coz i didn't know when to expect it. MY mates had a dry spell @ the same time and started again at same time. And it was in september after summer holz so now that i think about it, might've been our cycles gettin all in sync
