My period skipped. I'm a virgin. I don't know when to expect it now?

[Anonymous]

So I'm a virgin. my period for July skipped. My period for june started the 6th and ended the 12th. I was looking at what I'd been doing around that time in july and I'm wondering if it's because of stress? Not only was I working everyday but I was also practicing for this music performance and putting an entire art show together. and because of that I think I hadn't been eating much. I definitely haven't been eating a lot lately. I've lost my appetite. This isn't the first time it's happened. in the past it's happened a few times but I'll usually get the symptoms of a period but never the period...like I'll get cramps and etc. but I'm just wondering when I should expect it for august? I'm thinking around now...and I'm hoping soon because I'm going camping next thursday with my boyfriend and uhg I'm worried about it popping up and being a horrible time. i don't know what to dooooo

If your not having sex there is nothing really to worry about, but it is always good to get look at by a Doctor. There are a lot of things that can make you run late and there is really know way of telling how late it will be.

There are a number of things that can cause your period to be late

1. Too much stress can cause it to be late

2. If you exercise a lot your period could be late, one of my friends is a long distance

running and she only gets her period about 2 times a year.

3. If it is your first year or so it could just be irregular, my period took about 1 years to start

coming every month

4. Not getting enough seep can even cause it to run late

As for worrying about it popping up at the wrong time just bring tampons with you, just have one in at all times sense up in the woods it would be hard to clean up any stains. Just make sure to change the tampon every 4/6 hours so you don't risk getting TSS.

Ah that explains a lot. it's not newly irregular. as in... I didn't just recently start. I started I think when I was 14(i'm 18) and yeah I've been stressed. and I haven't been able to sleep well recently either. so maybe that's it. The "camping" is an outdoor music festival so there will be like. general stores and bathrooms so that should be good. one thing else though, I'm a virgin yes but I do want to lose it to him. and I've told him this. and I'm ready you know. no pressure. just we're

(cont.) planning to at this thing, because it's going to be very pretty and you know. etc etc. it's in a BEAUTIFUL part of the state. tomorrow I'm gonna mention to him though. I'm worried about this period thing because not knowing and then having sex...you know? I'll just be really worried until my period shows back up. yeah. we're gonna use a condom...but.. I'm just worried...should I be okay? also like I said it's happened in the past and sometimes I won't have a period but I'll have unusual

[Asker]

(cont.) amounts of discharge I guess? during the time my period would show up. know what I mean? is that like..my period happening but not really....ehh...haha? thanks so much! I really appreciate it. truly.

[Why123]

Yay I know what you mean about the discharge........um I would suggest though waiting to have sex till your period come because one of my friends periods is a little irregular and it was late by about 2 weeks and she had sex. She was freaking out thinking she was pregnant because her period hadn't come yet......... It turned out her period ended up being about 2 months late and she wasn't pregnant. So I just suggest wait till after you have your period just so you don't have that to worry about

[Why123]

That ass another thing to stress about

[Why123]

***That as another thing to stress about***......................I don't mean to scare you but if it doesn't come soon you should schedule an appointment with a doctor because sometimes missed periods can be a sign/symptom of other infections. Also although discharge is normal during the menstrual cycle if there is a lot it could be a sign of infection also. There is probably nothing wrong and its just stress but its just always good to get that area checked out by a doctor if something is not

How it usually is.

i think I skipped mine this month too. it's happend before to me too.

it seems like if I'm on vacation or have something big planned and I'm supposed to get my period I don't get it, and it comes ones I get home or whatever.

but since I still am on vacation and I was supposed to get it like 2 or 3 weeks ago, I think it's just gonna skip and come when it's supposed to at the end of august.

don't worry, I'm sure you're fine. (:

I'm a virgin as well and my cycle has never been regular. I can go for two or three months without a period. I've been to the gyno and underwent a battery of tests- nothing they could find.

Some girls will never be as regular as others.

[johnny_hustle]

I know I'm a guy, and this isn't my expertise, but, in order to get your period back on track. eating healthy, and try not to stress out about things will help get it back. I've known girls who have skipped their periods for 3 months. because of it. and honestly. if you get to unhealthy. it is possible to lose the period all together, rare. but possible. Also I highly doubt that it will start right back on track from when it left off in June. Try not to stress about it. and eat healthy. just small snack of fruit and vegetables would help. banana,grapes, strawberrys w/e you like.

Take your equipment with you on the camping trip. If it comes it comes. I see no benefit too worrying over things that are beyond your control. Better to invest your effort on things you can have some influence over.

[VirtuesQuest]

IT IS STRESS. STRESS WILL MESS UP YOUR BLOOD CIRCULATION, PERIOD

GET SOME EXERCISE & SOME REST THAT'S THE DOCTOR'S ORDERS

NO MATTER WHAT SEEMS IMPORTANT

DISTRESS & WAH, LAH. THERE IT GOES

[Reeses-pieces777]

you should go to a doctor and see if you have some hormonal imbalance of some sort. sometimes diet affects this

[Standingpretty]

It's normal to be irregular, just pack tampons and everything and the right stuff. Just don't stress and be cool and everything will even out.

[girlyxox]

i have had an irregular period and I have been having my period for 7 years and it's still irregular and I have never had sex. it's different for each person. stress and if you loose or gain weight can impact this

[partyrockshot]

if your a true virgin you have nothing to worry about. if you are stressed, exercise, or lose weight it will be off. it happened to me as soon as I started to ride my bike every other day.

[AshleyMD]

There are reasons other than pregnancy to worry about such as possibly having an infection, a missed period does sometimes indicate poor health.

[shewonderswhy]

You know I don't know when you first started having periods but for the first year after starting periods can be irregular, about your diet, yes that can affect whether you have one or not...

[DiabeticChick]

I totally understand. I'm a virgin too and I am 28 days late! I don't know when to expect it now.. I mean I went swimming about 2 weeks ago. My mom told me that can delay it but I'm worried..Ahhhh! I don't know what to do either! lol

[short_stuff]

i have skipped a month in my 6th grade and I was a virgin I'm 20 years old now and I haven't skipped a month again yet

if you only skipped one month than you should be fine

[JoshuastrueLove]

Mine skips because of stress
