12 year old's irregular periods
My 12 year daughter began having her periods in Dec 2013 followed by once in Jan 2014 and once in June 2014. Nothing since. Is that normal? Her flow is normal, no major cramps and no other symptoms.

Re: 12 year old's irregular periods
That is not particularly unusual. It generally takes a few years for periods to become regular, and in the first year or two, they can be especially sporadic.
How is her weight? In those who are low weight, or who have high levels of activity, or who undereat, this can be more common. Also, does she get any regular healthcare? If so, is her physician concerned?

So, sounds like it is all good! That said, it is always nice to hear from an attentive parent!
