My daughter had the same issue. We kept being told it was normal to be so inconsistent “at first” but my mom and I never had that issue. I finally switched doctors. The new doctor asked more questions, checked hormone levels, and diagnosed mild PCOS. I’ve had major issues with birth control and this doctor actually listened to me! She explained that leaving the uterine lining for so long can be extremely unhealthy though. So each month my daughter takes a hormone for a few days to start her period and that’s it! It’s frustrating that she has this problem but I’m grateful we found such a good doctor.
I'm thinking the typo might be in the number "24," and maybe the poster meant her daughter had one period at 12, and now is 14 and hasn't had another.
If that's the case, in some ways that's not entirely unexpected. Kids can begin to have their periods in fits and starts, like a sputtery car. But two years does seem a while. Has her other development proceeded normally, like, development of breasts and other curves?
Has she felt any pain or bloating? Have you talked to her pediatrician about this? She (the doctor) might want to do a blood test to check your daughter's hormone levels, or possibly to order an ultrasound or abdominal MRI to see that everything is normal.
Hi there - I don't understand the question. If she got her period when she was 12, and is now 24, that would mean she has not had another period for 12 years, not 2 years.
Did she start having periods regularly when she was 12? If so, how old was she when she stopped having periods completely?
