You only menstruate if you first ovulate, and you only ovulate when your body is physically mature enough to get pregnant - it takes time for your body to mature to the point where it is ovulating regularly, and thus menstruating regularly. It's totally normal for periods to be irregular like this up until adulthood, staying healthy and using herbal treatments like chaste tree can help your menstrual cycles regulate a little quicker.

Even though you're not hungry, you should eat. Just keep eating, even when you feel full. Eventually, a food baby will grow inside of you. It will keep growing inside of you like a real baby, and you won't have to eat for 9 months. Then, when the baby is born, you'll feel extremely hungry. Wait for the food baby to make a strange gurgling sound. Once it does this, you must eat the food baby in five minutes. If you do not eat it on five minutes, it may lead to death for both you AND the food baby. After consuming the food baby, you repeat the cycle. You will only be hungry once every 9 months and you will never again have your period.
I hope I helped.
Do you always miss your period when you're pregnant?
Yes, when pregnant you do not menstruate.
Many women can bleed during pregnancy for a number of reasons, and they may mistake this vaginal bleeding with menstruation, however menstruation is a very specific function which is stopped during pregnancy.
Is it more or less likely to get pregnant while on your period?
Less likely, but still possible.
A woman can only get pregnant if she has sex either during ovulation or up to a week before ovulation when there is fertile quality cervical mucus present - this helps keep the sperm alive for up to 7 days and helps it to swim up through the cervical opening.
During an average 28 day cycle a woman will be fertile between days 7-16 (ovulation on day 14, there can be a viable egg present for up to 48 hours) - by the time a woman menstruates the egg from the last cycle is long dead, and she cannot ovulate during menstruation. However if a woman's menstrual cycle is short she may ovulate soon after menstruation, thus if she was to have sex during her period sperm could survive up to 7 days, by which time she may have ovulated and thus she may get pregnant.
What is the complete length of a menstrual cycle?
The typical menstrual cycle is around 28 days in length.
But everyone is different and menstrual cycles can vary by a few days from cycle to cycle.
