I need help figuring out my periods please.?

Question

I've had my period since Nov 2005. I know that they are just now supposed to be getting regular and such. But they aren't even close it seems like. And things just seem to get worse.

I'm missing periods ever so often, like this month I has like a spot of blood. But it wasn't even a period. Last month I had it and had the worse pain ever. I never had that kind of pain before. And now my abdominal hurts ever so often. And I never had that problem before.

Sometimes I if I get it. It's not like blood its, dark like old blood I guess. I don't know how to explain it. And sometimes it looks like I have eggs coming out. Like it would be a ball but it would be broken with nothing inside of it.

My periods are normally light. Cramps only the first day. It would increase than decrease in how heavy it is. The first day It would be every six hours I need to change it. The second four hours. Than five hours. And so forth.

My periods seem to never come the same time monthly.

So I never know when they will come. Sometimes they will come without warning. Sometimes I'll have tender breast.

I even have dreams about them sometimes.

Do you think I should go to the doctors?

PS. I never had s*x or done anything sexual. I don't even feel like I can live normally with them. I'm afraid to go out with my friends sometimes because I'm afraid it will come without warning. I tend to think about it just because I can't figure it out. I can barely tell my mother about it. I don't even think she knows this stuff. And what she does know she not doing anything about it. I'm not really wanting to go on the pill because I don't agree with it. But it might be the only choice.

PSS I don't know if this helps. But I'm about 5'5" and 110 pounds. I am in Karate(But stopped for marching season) and in the Marching Band. Last year I had my period in Aug. and didn't have it till Nov. and when it came it was at the worse time ever. I didn't know it was coming. I was not ready. Infact I was marching at a football game.

Can you please help.

I'll accept anything.

Answer 1

A woman's menstrual cycle can vary each month and that's normal. You may be light one month really heavy the next.You may have symptoms before your period one month and it just pop up and surprise you the next. Usually periods come every 28 days and they can come a few days early or a few days late . Try marking down on a calendar the day you start your period so you have an approximate date of when your period is gonna come each month. Sometimes with heavy bleeders you can pass a blood clot and I believe that's the "broken egg" thing you were talking about. If you want your period to be more consistent, you might want to talk to your mom about putting you on birth control. It would have nothing to do with being sexually active, some women use birth control to regulate their periods so they will come at the same time every month and become lighter. I know it sucks and unfortunately these are things we have to go through and deal with as women, welcome to womanhood!
