Well, I've been healthy pretty much my whole life other than being Anemic (iron deficiency), and when I started my period at age 13 it was normal for almost 2 years. I feel this may be important to include..I was raped at the age of fourteen. I was scared I was pregnant because my period stopped coming. When they did the rape kit at the hospital they told me I was not pregnant. After that my periods were very irregular, it would come one month and last 3 weeks long, then it wouldn't come for three or four months. Now I'm 16 years old and my period has stopped completely, or so I thought. I went for over a year without it, then one day it came back and was so heavy I couldn't even leave the toilet to go to the hospital and was loosing so much blood I was passing out. The pain was UNBEARABLE. My mother thought I was having a miscarriage but I have not been sexually active. The bleeding and severe cramping lasted a two weeks, then it was gone again. That was four months ago and I am very scared that I will go 9-12 months without one and it will come back and cause that horrible pain and blood loss again. My question is what in the world is wrong with me! also, has anyone else gone through this? When I tell my friends they think I'm crazy, it would be nice to know I'm not alone. A big concern of mine is that I will not be able to complete a dream of mine, to have children of my own someday. Any advice can help, I know I need to go to the doctor for sure. Please let me know if anyone else has had experiences like this.. Thank you for your time!

Well the extreme pain and blood loss is a mystery to me, I'm sorry I can't help with that. But if you're underweight, it could be the cause of less frequent periods. And the rape might have interrupted the harmony of your cycle, I'm not sure......but for the first few years, for most, periods are irregular, so yours could just be a little messed up now. Gosh I'm sorry I can't help more, I wish the best of luck to you!
