Hi, periods tend to be very irregular at first. Don't worry, you're perfectly normal and definitely not pregnant. :)

This is exactly what I would have said. I second.

If you're not sexually active, you're not pregnant.

Your body is probably still growing and changing.

Unless you're carrying the Second Coming of Christ, you're not pregnant. The only way to get pregnant is to do something with a guy so you're fine there. Don't worry about that. :^)

And it's perfectly normal for your period to be irregular like that at first. It might be another year or two before you're on a steady cycle and even then you might miss a period or two every now and then.

Ahh, youth. :) I remember when I was little, I thought I was pregnant after I masturbated for the first time. Don't worry. Irregular periods are normal in the first few years, but if you're really concerned you can make an appointment with your OBGYN. Sometimes it's reassuring to hear from a doctor that everything's okay.

When I was really little, like five or so, maybe younger, I thought people pooped out babies, since I had a vague idea of what part of the body they came from. Sometimes I would study my poops before flushing, to make sure it wasn't a baby! LOL! :P

When my mom explained where they come out, I asked her how people know the difference between peeing and giving birth. I thought it would be easy to accidentally give birth into the toilet.

Irregular periods are normal. If you haven't been near semen, there's no chance you're pregnant. :) Don't worry about it!! I used to get only about 8-10 periods a year for about the first 20 years... ;) (For the past few years I'm getting one every 25 days, but I still think of myself as irregular.) Skipping a period now and then is nothing to worry about.

You're totally normal and definitely not pregnant if you haven't been sexually active. It's nothing to worry about (although I'm sure you still will).

I'm not sure if this would be an option for you, but maybe you could get prescribed to birth control? When I was 13 I started on birth control to help regulate my periods and make them less severe. When mine wouldn't come on time it would be really stressful, which would then affect when my next one came.

If this would help you, maybe you could talk to your doctor to find the lowest dose BC you can. There's something very comforting about knowing that you are in control of this unpredictable beast.

Don't worry about it ^.^ When I first started, I missed several periods during my first few years. I've had my period for ten years now, and just recently did it start coming regularly, so don't worry too much. It happens to all of us.

It's totally normal to miss some periods when you first start bleeding. I would occasionally miss a period or two. Unless you've been doing something with a guy, you're not pregnant.

If you haven't been sexually active, you're not pregnant. It's actually really normal to have really irregular periods for the first few months to few years of your menstruation. You need a guy to get you pregnant and if that hasn't happened, you've got nothing to worry about. No worries, love.
