I'm a 20-year-old female and have had my
period since I was 11. It's normally very
regular, starting about two days later
than the last mont [for example june 10,
and then again on july 11 or 12.]
my period is now over two weeks late, and
i'm growing concerned. I have never had a
lapse in my period. I know it isn't
pregnancy because i've never had sex.
Now I know there are some serious
menstrual problems in my family [my mother
takes a perscription for severe bleeding
and endometriosis, and my grandmother had
to have a hystorectomy for similar
problems,] but my sister's problems are
much different [unless she takes birth
control regularly she goes months without
her period, and when she gets it again it
lasts months.]
i haven't experienced any symptoms, and
it's the first time my period has been
late, but because of the issues in my
family i'm growing concerned. I have a
yearly physical coming up at the end of
november, but I don't know if I should
wait until then or not.

Hi,
my aunt began having problems with her
menstrual cycle in her early twenties too.
Your best bet is to go to your doctor and
explain your situation.
