Teen Menstrual Cycles: Why Missed Periods, Irregular Periods are Normal

by DP Nguyen 840 Comments

Irregular Period Teen

Irregular Period TeenMissed Periods and Irregular Periods are Normal When You’re a Teenager!

Recently, there has been a flood of questions from my teen readers on my popular post, “Reasons for Missed Period – When You’re Not Pregnant.” I want to address the most commonly asked questions to alleviate any worries that teenagers may have about their periods.

Age of Your First Period

A teenager typically gets her first period between 12 and 14 years of age. Some girls can start menstruating as early as 9 years old. Others won’t have their first period until they’re 16 years of age. When you’ll have your first period depends on how fast you’re developing. Some girls are early bloomers; others bloom later. If you haven’t had your period by 16 years old, visit your doctor and find out what’s the hold up. In some cases, however, it may still be normal.

How Long Does a Period Last?

A regular period can last between three to seven days. During the teen years, you can bleed for even longer. Some teenagers have their period for 10 days! The length of your period can change from month to month. The heaviness and color of your flow will also change from the beginning of your period to the end. On Day 1, 2, and 3 of your period, it’s normal for your flow to be heavy. Your menstrual bleeding will become lighter and lighter until your period ends.

Irregular Menstrual Cycles and Missed Periods are Normal

In the first two years after you start menstruating (having your period), it’s normal for you to experience an irregular menstrual cycle. You may have a period twice in one month, or you may go without a period for two months at a time. Likewise, you may have your period for only 2 or 3 days one month, and the next time you have your period, it lasts for 7 days. This is normal during the teenage years. Your body is influenced by your growth (and puberty is a time of major growth), so this can change your menstrual cycle from month to month.

The length of time that your period lasts, and the amount of blood that you experience is influenced by the level of hormones that your body is manufacturing. Since a teenage girl is growing, her hormones are going to be fluctuating and this can change the amount of blood and the length of your period from one cycle to the next.

In a nutshell, missed periods and irregular periods are normal in the first two years after you start having your period. Your body will eventually develop a regular cycle. The average cycle length is 28 days, but not every woman follows this textbook rule. A regular menstrual cycle can run from 21 days to 35 days (or longer). If you’re a teenager, as long as you have one period every three months, you should be fine. But always call a doctor if you’re worried about anything.

*Very Important* – If you do not want to get pregnant, always use protection when you have sex. The only 100 percent way to protect yourself against STDs and pregnancy is to NOT HAVE SEX. Take it from an oldie – it’s always best to wait and save yourself for that special person.

When Should You Worry about a Missed or Irregular Period?

Missed periods and irregular periods can be normal in teenagers, but you should consult a doctor if you’re a teen and you haven’t had your period for at least three months. This may be a sign of a reproductive problem, like premature ovarian failure.

If you have at least one period within that three month range, you shouldn’t worry. This can be normal, just a byproduct of your fluctuating hormones. Your menstrual cycle will eventually even out, and you will get a normal cycle (although it may not be the perfect 28 day cycle.)

Reasons You May Miss Your Period When You’re Not Pregnant

If you are sexually active and you notice something unusual with your menstrual pattern, there is always a chance that you could be pregnant. Condoms are only 99 percent effective. Birth control pills are only effective if you take them on a regular basis. Skipping a pill can put you at risk for pregnancy.

Other reasons you may experience irregular periods, or missed periods, include excessive exercise, birth control pills, stress, and eating disorders.

Excessive Exercise – If you’re an athlete, you may notice a change in your menstrual cycle if you’re training super hard or exercising all the time. Excessive exercise can result in less bleeding, fewer periods a year, or your periods may stop completely. In most cases, your periods will return to normal within months after you stop participating in the strenuous sport.

If your period has stopped completely and it’s been over six months, you need to go see your doctor to rule out any medical problems.

Birth Control Pills – Sometimes, birth control pills are prescribed to help regulate your period. They can, however, cause you to experience a missed period. Hormonal methods of birth control, which contain the hormone progesterone, can cause you to miss your period.

Stress – Whether you’re in middle school or high school, schoolwork can really stress you out, especially if your parents are putting a lot of pressure on you to succeed. Stress is a normal part of life, but a ton of emotional stress can affect your period. Too much stress in your life may cause you to experience missed periods or irregular periods.

Eating Disorders – If you have an eating disorder, like anorexia or bulimia, they can slow down your bodily functions and cause your period to stop completely. Please contact a doctor or reach out to an adult if you have an eating disorder. You can also reach out to me, and I’ll be here to help you through this to the best of my ability.

PMS Symptoms Can Be Similar to Early Pregnancy Symptoms

If you’re a teenager who is sexually active, you must be aware that there is always a chance that you may be pregnant. A missed period is often one of the first signs of pregnancy. Please take a home pregnancy test, if you are ever worried. If you test negative at first, and your period still doesn’t come, take another test in about a week or so.

Always keep in mind, however, that premenstrual (PMS) symptoms can mimic early pregnancy symptoms. Even for the most experienced woman, it can be difficult to distinguish the two. For example, breast tenderness, fatigue, and food cravings are normal PMS symptoms, but they are also pregnancy symptoms. Nausea and vomiting can also affect you when you’re PMSing, and it’s an early pregnancy symptom. Taking a home pregnancy test is the only way for you to tell whether or not you’re pregnant.

My Recommendations for Accurate Home Pregnancy Tests

If you’re wondering whether or not you’re pregnant, please check my Hip Chick’s Guide to Pregnancy and Baby Store for my recommended home pregnancy tests. I highly recommend  First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test due to its high sensitivity at picking up hCG levels.

If you ever have any questions or worries about your period, talk to your parents and go see a gynecologist who can answer your questions!

On all of the sites, was written that I am pregnant. But I know that it’s not true because I would not get pregnant and I am only 14. By reading your site, you really helped me because now I know that it’s normal to be late in your period especially because this will be my second time. I really like your site and I will not forget this site because it really helped me

    I didn’t have a period when I was 15 even thought I had all of the signs of pubery and then we went to doctors with my mom and my doctor told us that everything’s normal and she gave me some medicine to see If I even can have a period. It turned out that I can but since then I didn’t get my period again till 6 months ago (I’m 16 now) and that was the last time I had period.

      What you have to realize is that for almost a year, maybe a year and a half even, you period will most likely not be the same length every time, and it is common for girls to have irregular periods for a while until their body regulates itself. So you should not worry for now.

      If your period is 4 days later than usual, that is not a problem at all. That is completely normal, especially for someone your age. It may even skip a month, who know. Also, you can’t control when your body decides to have your period come or go, so your mom should understand that this is normal for teen girls like you and I don’t think she will be mad at you for having a 4 day late period…

    Hi.. So the 1st time I had my period was in 2013, I was 13. It was irregular, sometimes it would be in the beginning of the month, or in the middle or even in the end.. However in January 2015 I missed it, I only had it again in March 2016 . In September 2016 I started highschool, I’m in a new country with a different language since July 2015, I stressed a lot because I don’t know anyone here.. I missed September, October and November.

      Probably nothing is wrong. Stress, excess exercise, and hormones imbalances can cause your period to do that. I would not be worried unless your period does not regulate itself out again over time.

      Hiya Yoi should defiantly go and see a doctor because it could mean you have to have a infection or even something worse X
      Hope this helped

      If you hadn’t got your period for 4 months you should probably see a doctor

    Okay so me and my boyfriend had sex without a condom but he didn’t not ejaculate in me, I know this for sure. But I didn’t get my period for almost a month and 15 days then I started bleeding for 8 days. Should I be worried that I’m pregnant?? I’m 16…please help me out. Could I have been late on starting my period becuase i was stressing and traveling alot?

      Almost the same thing happened to me! I haven’t had my period for half a year and I’m still to scared to go to doctor but I kind of know what the problem is. I’m very underweight (I don’t have anorexia or anything) but I’m still way too thin for my age and cannot force myself to eat… If you have the same problem as me, the reason is you being underweight or not getting all vitamins that are needed for your body.

    hi, i’m marie and i just turned 14 like a week ago, i started my period when i was 11 and it’s been pretty regular usually 7 days long and it’s never been more late than 2 weeks both ways. however my last period ended on april 29th and it’s the 11th of july now. i’m really worried and my mum says that it’s probably because i had exams and i have not been eating very well, but i am extremely worried, i am a virgin so that crosses out the other possibility, please help x

    It’s July 10th right now, and I last got my period on May 28th which lasted 7 days- like normal. The one before was in early December of 2015. It’s just that I’ve been having my period for almost two years now, but I’ve only had 8 or 9 in this entire time. After my first period, I didn’t get the next one for seven months! Should I be worried?

    Hi. I need someone to tell me what’s going on… So I’m 15 and I got my period when I was 12 and it’s been pretty regular. I might have been maybe 2 weeks late a few times but not recently. The last month I have been sexually active but we used protection and there is no way I am pregnant. I just got my period and I’m getting period symptoms but it’s very very light bleeding and now there’s nothing. I have been just starting my sport and it’s a lot of training so I think that might have something to do with it. I took a pregnancy test and it said I was negative. I also am having cramps and if I was pregnant i would be 4 weeks so I don’t know if I would have morning sickness by now or something. Please help!!!!

      I think you should go see your doctor. You should always see a doctor if you haven’t gotten your period in over 6 months.

    So I am probably late on my period and idk what it means because mine is usually exact and maybe lately I have been stressed a lot. Can that be the reason because I got mine when I was 11 and I am now 13. I know I am not pregnant because I am a virgin and I don’t have a bf and I have never had sex. Help

    Hey I’m Nadia and I’m 16. I’m a Virgin. I’ve had my period since I was 12 and it was always very regular. Coming every month, and lasting 7-9 days. Usually they were pretty heavy through the middle. The first and last days were always very light. Since November this year though, my periods have been really wierd. Some months they didn’t come. Other months I just had light bleeding for a few days. Some other months i had light bleeding for two almost three weeks at a time. Then, in May I had regular bleeding for like three weeks. Now it’s June and I have my period and I have cramping, but my period which started two days ago is heavier than it’s ever been before. I soaked through an entire heavy duty overnight pad while I was sleeping which has never happened before. And I put a new one on at around 6:45 am, and by 9am it was pretty much full. Please someone give me an idea of what’s wrong with me.
