My menstrual cycle started in December, 2011 (when I was 13). It started out pretty heavy (I constantly bled through my underwear and occasionally pants), but after the third or fourth day it was normal, and then it was extremely light, where one panty liner could last me hours and even overnight; however, it lasted about 20 days, and my mom was going to make me see the doctor (much to my dismay), but it stopped, so we never went. Then, I think it was pretty regular for January (again very heavy at first, then normal). But then it stopped until July 3rd, 2012 (2 days ago). On that day, it was normal, but then I fell asleep an bled through a tampon, completely drenching my underwear and shorts. And that day, it was absolutely terrible. I bled through a tampon and panty liner in 2 hours,staining my underwear and shorts, then I kept changing it, but no matter what it always bled through very quickly. Finally, I changed it every hour and it seemed to be okay, and then that night I bled through a tampon and a maxi pad, again staining my underwear and shorts. Today it was pretty normal, and I guess it must be following the same pattern as it had in the past.
I know it sounds pretty bad, but I heard that the menstrual cycle is pretty irregular at first. Does it sound really bad, or is it okay? I really don't want to see the gynecologist, because I find that kind of disgusting and violating (even though my mom thinks I should see one). Anyone go through something similar?
In case it helps, I am not sexually active!
