    Question

    Here's the deal, I got my first period in August then it skipped a month, but the next time it was two days late. Now it's only been two and a half weeks and I got it again. Is this normal? or should I be worried?

    Answer

    I am not sure you should worry, but it is worth keeping a calendar for a couple of months and then making an appointment with your doctor. Sometimes it takes a while to get a schedule set, so I would give it a few cycles. Good luck!
