May vary at first: You may have some irregularity in your periods as your body figures out what it's doing! you may want to start marking on your calendar the first day of each period - there's even an app for this! in answering your question, though, it is important to ask if you could be at risk for pregnancy. If so, be sure to see your doctor about this - and do it now. Good luck. Lgromko md.

Normal: That is totally normal during the first year after girls start their period (menarche).
