i just had sex for the first time last month. we used protection and everything and i know im not pregnant but this month i have had my period three times. the second time i got it i thought it might have just been because i was sick, but now im on the third time and unlike the first time there were only 4 days in between that i didnt have it, last time it was a week. please tell me if i should be concerned and what my problem is. thank you

Can you talk to your mother or maybe another adult that you feel comfortable with? A teacher, school counselor, a friends mother? I don't think it's so serious that you need to get to the ER or anything like that, but you should get checked out. Have you ever had a pap before? I think that is something you should have done, especialy now that you are sexualy active. And I would hold off with having sex untill you get checked just to be safe. It sounds like that may have played some part in with what is wrong? I'm not sure.
I'm sorry I couldn't help much.

are your periods regular? when i was a teen, i was very irregular, and i don't remember the specifics, but i do remember that when i lost my virginity my period did something weird like that right after. your gyn can help you, and you should see one anyways since you're sexually active now. you may also want to consider going on the pill... the dr can help you with making this decision. i loved being on the pill. my periods became much lighter, as did cramps. and i became so regular i could predict the hour my period would start (which was a huge change from previously when i would get it every 3 to 7 weeks). and when you combine the pill with condoms, your chances of getting pregnant are practically zero. i don't know your age or family situation, but you can see a gyn without your parents knowing. (my mom offered to take me when i was 17, but i decided to go on my own). and many women's health clinics will see you for practicially no cost.

I don't think it is normal at all to be bleeding at different times of the month..Is there anything different you have been taking lately that could be messing up your cycle, like taking BC pills at different or irregular times? Rapid weight fluxuation? New type of BC? I think you should at least, talk with your OB/GYN or Doc. Take care!
