If you just got your first period in September and you haven’t got it and now it’s November 6 when could it come again
Soso answered
There is no way to know the exact day it will come back, because having a gap between your first few periods is super common.
When your body first starts menstruating, your reproductive system is basically still figuring out how everything works together. In the first couple of years after a first period, most cycles do not release an egg yet, and periods still come, which is part of why early cycles are so uneven. Your hormones are fluctuating, so you might get a period, wait a couple of months, get another one, and then have a completely different gap next time.
For the first couple of years cycles are often uneven, usually somewhere around 20 to 45 days from the start of one period to the start of the next, and one cycle that's shorter or longer than the last isn't on its own a reason to worry. Stress can make a period late too. Tell a grown-up if your periods keep coming more than 45 days apart, 3 months go by with no period once they've started, or they keep coming less than about 3 weeks apart.
Since it started in September, going into early November means it has been roughly two months, which is a normal thing to happen while your body adjusts, but you definitely want to keep an eye on that 3-month mark just in case.
A great way to keep track without guessing is by logging the dates in the Soso app, which helps you notice what is typical for your own cycle as it settles down.
