Is it normal for a 14 year old to only have a period every 6 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Right after menarche (first period ever) a young woman's hypothalamus, pituitary gland & ovary have to learn to "talk" to each other. It may take a year or so for this maturation to occur which can lead to long time periods between menses.
