before i took birthcontrol pills, about your age, my period was very unpredictable. if i was planning a trip somewhere (nervous or anxious) i usually started my period no matter when i had just had one. you should see a gyno anyway at your age and this would be a good reason to go:)

you should call someone whether its the family dr. or a gynocologist. periods can often times last a while, not long, be light, be heavy, skip one, get it early. i believe the age to begin seeing a gyno. is 18 unless there is cause or sexually active. also, since you are going to cancun (i thought today) wouldnt you want to take care of it before you go? plus you'll be worrying on vacation so make a call.

I use Natural Progesterone Cream to help with my menstral cycles. It regulated them and made them more regular. You wont have any side effects at all from it,its all natural. The kind I bought was called Progesta-Care and make sure its NATURAL and at least 20mg per dose.
