hey

sorry to change subject, but...

Well while i'm in the girls room thread i need some advice regarding my period. i got mine when i was 14. my first period was really heavy and also ones to follow which i've been told is very unusual. i'm am now 15 turning 16 and my cycle is very irregular. it seems to go away for many months( up to 8 or more months) and then turn up!. During the the hole time i'm had my period i've only had it around 6 times. i now haven't had mine for 6 almost 7 months... is there something wrong with me? i'm getting very worried. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think this 'Girls room thread' is a great idea.

Perhaps you should talk to the nurse at school or to your GP, I think it should have settled down by now. I was irregular for the first few months but it has settled down now. You will stop worrying if you talk to the nurse or the doctor, because if they tell its normal for you you can can relax. They might give you something to make things a bit more regular, they gave my friend some pills for 6 months because she was very heavy and irregular. Once it settled down she was fine.

I'm thinking that it could be PCOS or something similar, and since you're almost 16, maybe you should bring it up with your doctor...? It should be pretty much settled by then... I might just be weird, but I got my period when I was 10 and had a perfect 28 days cycle from then on (till I started BC when I was 15, so it's not really my cycle anymore). Speaking of which, BC-pills is a way to make them settle down as well as make them lighter.

It could still be normal, though. Just because it's unusual for your cycle not to have settled down by now doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong. I started my periods when I was 13 and they were all over the place until I went on the pill at 17. But I think it would be a good idea to talk to your gp or school nurse, if only to put your mind at rest. I also suggest confiding in your mum if you can - I know it's embarrassing but just remember she's been through it all herself, and she's old enough by now not to get embarrassed about these things!

It's probably best to see a doctor just to be on the safe side, but it's probably nothing to worry about at all. I had a similar problem and went to my doctor, and I was just told that I had nothing to worry about, and that I should come back when I was 18-19 if it still wasn't any better then.

To change the subject a little (or a lot) I have kind of a problem... It's kinda hard to explain without going into all the details, and I doubt anyone would have any interest in that as it's pretty long and complicated, to I'll try to sum it up quickly.

This girl I concider to be one of my best friends (although I'm not sure if I really like that term anymore) and I kinda have two different crowds we hang out with when we're not hanging out together. Both crowds go perfectly well together, and I like a lot of the people she hangs out with, I even concider some of them pretty good friends (the same goes for my friend and "my crowd").

So anyway, about a year ago some of the girls in "her crowd" whom we both concider pretty good friends started talking about some things about her, which I heard. It was all just innocent questioning if you ask me, I'll even admit I didn't really react negatively to their talk. But then a few months ago I heard the talk again, this time from someone I'm not very close with, but my friend conciders her a friend, and I got the impression that it was more like gossip and more negatively aimed than before, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't really prepared. I haven't heard anything in months, but I'm pretty sure they still "work on their theory". Bottom line is that I don't know if I should tell my friend what they say about her or not. It's not a bad thing they're saying about her, I just don't think it's any of their business. A part of me wants to tell her what her so-called "friends" are saying, but I'm not really sure if I should. It's not like they're broadcasting anything or treating her badly, I just think she's be hurt if she knew what they say. Again, not because it's a bad thing, but because it's not their business.

Gah, I'm sorry if that was impossible to understand, I'll do the detailed version if anyone is interested.

I wish I could help, but social stuff is not my thang

^^Sounds a bit complicated.

If I was in your position I would consider if what they're saying really is that bad. If it's not too bad and it's not being spread around then maybe you should just keep it to yourself, if you can, as it would keep the peace so as to speak.

Then again it also depends on whether your friend would want to know what's being said and how she would react to it.

I don't know if that helps, or if it makes sense. Basically, what I'm trying to say is you should think it through and do what you think is the right thing, whether that be letting your friend know what's being said or keeping it to yourself.

Thanks

Yeah, I think I know what you mean, I just wish I knew what to do :/

I've never really considered anything concerning the menstrual cycle "normal" or "usual".

I used to have a period every two weeks, sometimes sooner for over a year and there were times when I considered permanently wearing a tampon just in case, but things settle down.

Every woman is different, but talking to a doctor is a good idea, if only to out your mind at rest.
