Is there any reason why my period is so late? I only had 2 periods this year and I'm feeling super empty without it... I did spot (brown) but I didn't get my period

Okay, so it sounds like your period is taking its sweet time, and that can totally feel weird and sometimes even frustrating, right? It's really common for periods to be pretty unpredictable in the first few years after they start.

Your body is still figuring things out because your hormones are still trying to find their rhythm. So you might have cycles that are super long, or kinda short, and sometimes you'll even skip a period. Having only two in a year is definitely on the less frequent side, but doctors say it's normal for the first year or two for things to be all over the place before settling into a more regular pattern. And that brown spotting could have been a super light period, or just some old blood making an appearance, which also happens sometimes.

It's a good idea to keep track of when you do get a period, and any spotting, and how you're feeling. That way, if you ever feel concerned or just want to know more, you have all the info ready for a grown-up or doctor. The Soso app is actually made for tracking stuff like this, so you can log your periods and moods and know what's typical for your body.
