Menstural

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi i'm 15. My period is not monthly i only have it once a year. I started my period in May 2007 and skipped up until January 2008 and then skipped again up until January 2009. And this year i have still avent gotten my period it been a year and 6mnths. I am not sexualy active. So is this normal?

Dear Amber:

Let me reassure you that you are still very young, sometimes your body would take at least 2 years after the first menses to regulate the menstrual cycles.

I would suggest you to give your body some more time to regulate itself since you are still in a very early age, if you notice that in the next months your menses does not stabilize, a visit to the gynecologist might be needed to rule out other causes.
