Period
So I'm 17 and I have my period every month for the past 6 years normally, and it's only ever been late for like 2 or 3 days. Today is the 6th day without having my period. And no I am not pregnant. I'm a virgin. Should I call the doctor or should I wait and see what happenes cause it's the beginning of the month?

Being irregular during the teens is very normal even if you were previously regular. Women of all ages can have longer than usual cycles or late periods. Things that do this are stress, worry, changes in routine, weight gain or loss, illness, trauma. Even going on vacation can mess up our hormones. So, I would not worry. If you don't have one for three months, that is the time to call a doctor as they like women to have a period at least every three months. good luck
