I Had My Period For A While And Now It Stopped!
April 2, 2009
Girl to Girl,
I started my period a while ago when I was 12. And the first time I had it it lasted for 7 days and then 5 and then 3 and then it repeated for about four weeks. And then my period STOPPED! I have know idea why.
I’m kind of worried about it because now I’m thirteen and I don’t have my period any more please help me. I would be very thankful and appreciative =)
Gabby, 13

Dear Gabby,
Whats happening to you is perfectly normal, don’t worry. The lengths of most girls periods can vary anywhere from 1 days to 8 days…it is quite normal for it to fluctuate, especially during the first year or two that you have it. For some girls it can even take years to stabilize.
And in regards to your period stopping. If you are not sexually active then you know that it is not because you are pregnant. It is common for girls to have missed periods at your age when your hormones are still trying to stabilize. You shouldn’t worry too much, it could be something simple such as a change in your diet or exercise that caused it to stop too.
But even though it doesn’t sound like anything you should be alarmed about, it is always a good idea for a girl to start seeing a gynecologist once a year once she starts her period. Talk to your mom about scheduling a check up soon so you can know for sure that everything is normal and healthy in that area.
