Irregular Periods

"Regular" periods means that the time between periods is pretty much the same from month to month. Women can have their periods every 21 to 35 days, and 28 days is the average. But when you first start menstruating, you may experience irregular periods. You could have one period and then wait six months for the next one! This isn't unusual. Until your body adjusts, the time between your periods may be unpredictable. But after that, it should regulate itself. If not, see your doctor.

irregular can be few things. one you could get your period and then two weeks later get it again like i've seen happen to a few girls or your periods could be months apart, 2 to 6. They say it eventually evens out yet im seventeen got mine when i was about ten. Seven years of unknown. sometimes it came normally or slightly off some times 8-9 months went by. they never really give you a date but it can take untill ur fully grown(21-24yrs of age) all i have to say to those like me, keep a small bag with a tampon and a pad always handy XD -cheers-

my first period was in august 2011 and it just came back on April 17 so it took about seven or eight months so i wouldn't worry

I got my first period in January and then it never came again. How far apart were your first and second periods?

Well, my periods arent that irregular like 6 months late, but it still doesnt have a consistent cycle. In the beginning, when i started last yr in August, it was 34 to 36 days, every month until January. That month's cycle was 37 days, and I missed a period in February, but still got cramps when I was supposed to start. I found out it was because I had a cyst in the ovary. This month, April, I'm still waiting, and its annoying, because I want the suspense to end and to get over it! P.S next month I turn 15 LoL
