Does it start every month?

Okay so when you first start getting your period, it probably won't come every single month, and that's totally normal. Your body is just figuring things out and sometimes this takes a bit.

Your period is part of something called your menstrual cycle, which is like a natural rhythm your body has. When you're first starting out, your ovaries aren't always releasing an egg on a super regular schedule, and that's what makes your period jump around a little. It might come after 21 days one time, and then not for 40 days the next time, and that's okay.

Eventually, for most people, periods settle into a more regular pattern, usually somewhere between every 21 to 35 days. Doctors say it can take a year or two for your cycle to become more predictable. So don't stress if it's not like clockwork from the start! Just keep track of when it does come so you can see your body’s unique pattern.
