Answer 1

If you're only thirteen, then I wouldn't be too worried about it. I'm sixteen, and I still get irregular periods. It's common for younger girls to get weird periods because they're still developing a steady cycle.

So if you don't feel sick or worse than usual, no worries! But if it's really bothering you, ask your doctor to prescribe you birth control pills. It makes the periods more regular. I've tried it! :)

Answer 2

Well i HATE periods.i'm sure everyone does. Ive heard the healthire you are the shorter your periods are.So i have to say get movin'!

Answer 3

It doesn't sound average, but it may not be beyond the range of normal.  What you need to worry about is how much blood you are losing.  Too much, and you will be on your way to anaemia.  

Nasty thing, anaemia.

But taking iron tablets can be tricky, as some kinds of iron tablets

upset some women, and other kinds upset others,

One way to help your doctor to help you -  keep a diary of the days your period starts and ends, and try to estimate the flow. Or count the number of STs you use, and which grade you have to buy. After three or so months, if the flow is half of every month, or worrying in other ways, take that information to your doctor.

Answer 4

when i first started mine in april of 07 i was somehow always sick when i had my period. & becuase i had just gotten it and was sick with a cold or something my period would last 8-10 days.

if your afraid of people finding pads in a purse, put a pad in a backpocket of a jean so that way no one will ever know its there but you:)

thats what i do so i dont have to carry a purse.

im 13 and got mine when i was 11 and in 6th grade.

so i didnt know much about it now im a big kid in this kind of thing
