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's totally normal for periods to be pretty unpredictable for the first year or two after you start. That's why you might only have a few periods in a year, and why they can be super late sometimes.

Your body is just figuring things out, and the hormones that make your period happen are still settling down. If you've just started having periods, it's like a brand new system that's still getting used to itself, and sometimes it takes a while for everything to work on a schedule. Brown spotting usually means a very light flow or old blood, so that fits with your body still trying to kick into gear.

What can I do?

Keep tracking your periods, even the super late ones, because that helps you and your grown-up see what's normal for you. It might feel like nothing's happening, but logging when they do arrive and any spotting helps a lot. Try to eat good food, get enough sleep, and not stress too much because those can sometimes mess with your cycle too. If you are worried, it's always good to chat with a grown-up about it.
