I Had My First Period When I Was 9 Years Old. Is This Normal ?
Hi. I m 18. I ve had my period since I was 9. I was raped when I was 13 and my cycle became abnormal. I didn t start my period for 3 months then I was on for 3 long months. I skip months and I m extremely heavy. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Skipping months and having heavy menstrual bleeding is not normal. Check your thyroid hormone and get an ultrasound of uterus and ovaries to rule out any abnormality.
