Answers:
I am 16 now and I started my period when I was 12. I still have irregular periods, with worse than what you have. Like I would have a period then one 3 months later, or I would have a period and then have one the next week. Periods will be irregular for a long time. Birth control helps the irregularity of periods, if your mom wouldn't care putting you on it, you should talk to her about it. Their isn't anything wrong with you, I have talked to alot of my friends about their periods and some are even more irregular than me, alot of my friends got birth control for those reasons. It just doesn't bother me as much so I don't worry about it, and just carry a tampon with me for when I might start randomly. I don't think it has anything to do with your hypothyroid disease, but it might that you should ask your doctor.Health Question & Answer
I'm not sure if your hypothyroid has anything to do with it so you should probably see a doctor but many things can affect your cycle like weight loss/gain, stress, or hormone imbalance. Sometimes I skip my period for 3 or 4 months at a time but it's just because I have a hormone imbalance. When I'm on the pill everything is regular again. Don't stress over it and make an appointment to see your dr. Health Question & Answer
It will take some time in order for your cycle and periods to become regular. This can take up to 3 years.Health Question & Answer
