A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Okay I need some help, I'm 15 and my period has been 10 days late I am still a Virgin so I haven't had sex. I don't understand why its late my boyfriend fingered me the day my period was supposed to come and now its really late. I don't know why the only reason I could think of is because I had my period twice last month so could it be possible I could skip this month? but if not could I be preg? this is freaking me out I know you can't get pregnant when someone fingers you but still you never know right? I just need some answers so I can have some peace in mind. Thanks.

I ALWAYS missed periods at your age. It's normal. You're still young and your body's STILL getting used to the cycle. It can take a few years.

Also, it could be many other things such as stress, down to your health and eating, etc, etc.

You've got nothing to be worried about.

dirtball agony auntOther reasons for missed periods are stress, over exercise, or starving yourself. Are you doing any of those things? That may influence what's going on too.

To mirror the others, talk to a doctor.

Don't worry man, just chill.

This happens to me ALL the time.

It's normal, I got worried too though hah.

I don't know why it does it, but all I could tell you is that you're are not pregnant.

Last time I didn't have my period for 3 months.

So don't worry, and just live on with your happy life. :)

BunnyAce agony auntI am 21 and still have an irregular period schedule. Sometimes it can be two weeks late (and I do have sex so its pretty scary!)

I would suggest having a word with your mom (I know, seems like a painful embarassing conversation) just tell her your period is very irregular and you have horrible cramps. Tell her u talked to a friend and/or researched online and found out that going on the pill will regulate you and help cramps.

This way your mom will know u trust her enough to tell her andd once u do decide to have sex (which should not be anytime soon..give urself more time) you will b all set with birth control.

Good luck and hope this advice helps

dmartin89 agony auntYou're not pregnant.

Its your unstable hormones. I'm 21 and my periods are always late/early. I came off a period a week ago and now i'm back on! And I hadn't had one before that for 2 months!

If you are worried about irregular periods it might be worth going on the pill, also it might be a good idea if you are getting sexual with your boyfriend to dramatically decrease your chance of pregnancy. However, if you are going to have sex, ALWAYS use a condom. I'm sure you've already heard this before but I'm repeating it because that is how important it is!

It's perfectly normal to have irregular periods. It's probably nothing to worry about but you should go see your doctor just to make sure.

It's unlikely you're pregnant unless he had sperm on his fingers.

If you want peace of mind the doctor is the only person who can give you that.
