Irregular periods and abdominal cramping
I'm a 16 year old female. I got my first period in December 2015 (14 years old). I had moderate cramps a few days prior and the period was very light flow and lasted 2 days. My next period was 1 year later in December 2016 (15 years old). This period was practically identical to the first one. It has now been about 8 months since my last period. However, I have been getting phases of cramps roughly every 3 months which don't result in a period. These cramps are identical to the ones I had prior to my first 2 periods. These cramp phases last for about 3 days. The cramps are moderate and located in my lower right abdomen. They are most painful after/during urinating. I had blood tests in December 2016 to check on my hormones and everything was fine. What is wrong with me?
Sometimes it takes the body time to adjust. My daughter is 14 got hers in april and anything she has had since has not been regular and she is also very slim and athletic so that might be why. I would not worry. Sometimes it just has to run its course.
I don't know that anything is wrong with you. Are you involved in a lot of sports? Are you very lean? I was very "late" in getting my first period. I don't think there is a normal age for someone to get their first period, but you should speak to your doctor about it if you are concerned. If you are healthy, maybe your body is just not ready yet?
