Today, after I missed my last 3 periods, my mom grounded me for "getting pregnant" and refuses to believe anything else. I'm 15 and never had sex in my life. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I had to go through the embarrassment and pain of telling my parents I was pregnant. I took the test and it came out positive and I was freaking out. I got grounded for the rest of the year and they're really disappointed in me. Five minutes ago, I got my period. FML
Today, I told my mother that I'm pregnant. She went off screaming at me about how I shouldn't be having sex. I am 25 and have been happily married for 3 years. FML
Today, my mom accused me of being pregnant. She wouldn't believe me when I told her I'm a virgin, and she challenged me to take a pregnancy test. It came back with a false positive. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor because I have been experiencing hair loss. He insisted on a pregnancy test. My parents then grounded me. I'm a virgin. FML
Today, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up, she would take me to get birth control. Wanting birth control, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML
Today, my 15-year-old birth daughter asked if I've ever had sex. FML
Today, it's been three weeks since my parents went on holiday and not only have they not called me, they don’t answer when I call them… until today, when my mom finally called me, whilst I was having sex. She then sent me a text outlining how rude it was I ignored her call and grounded me. I’m 24 years-old. FML
Today, I told my mom about the couple of times that I'd skipped classes during high school. She got really mad and grounded me for a month. That would usually be normal except for the fact that I'm 27 and live in my own apartment. FML

Pregnancy test should clear the air... That's just to get you off the hook with your mom (or confirm) no matter how it turns out you'll want to make an appt with a gyno/obgyn. Sorry OP, but unless you're pregnant or on a birth control... that shit ain't normal. Unless... you're malnourished.

The fact that you missed 3 periods means you should go to the doctor, pregnant or not

My mother did the same thing to me when I missed two periods 8 months after I got my first one and threatened to bring me to a doctor to check if I was still a virgin or if I was pregnant.

I'm almost 30 and my periods are still irregular, I have a 7year old and went on the pill about a 18 weeks after she was born I stoped taking it about a year and a half ago still haven't had a regular one since when I was 12 (that's when I started getting them) I'd have my period for 6-18 weeks at a time then go 3 months without one (my mom being a born again Christian and refused to let me take the pill)

If that's not normal for you, I'd consult a doctor.

Go to the doctor with your mother and do both a urine test and a blood test- they will prove you're not pregnant. Even though it's pretty normal to have irregular periods as a teen, it's also a good idea to have the doctor try to find what's actually going on- just in case.

That's awful! 😔 I would talk to a teacher you trust, school counselor, nurse, or a friend whose parents you trust. You would be surprised how many girls have a hard time "getting regular" with their periods. This isn't as weird as she thinks! While I typically don't advocate lying, you may want to sneak yourself into a Planned Parenthood (or similar clinic) to get yourself checked out to see what's going on, and possibly get an ultrasound to prove your point. I'm sorry, but you shouldn't have to deal with health consequences over something like this!

You mom should be taking you to a doctor instead of grounding you. I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) it can cause your period to stop and if you don’t get put on birth control to regulate your period it can cause long lasting problems for you if you have it, such as infertility. I really hope you go get checked out, it’s not something to mess around with.

There are plenty of reasons for mission periods, especially at such a young age. Unfortunately, your mother doesn't seem to know much about them. Find an adult who can take you to a doctor. It could be a simple thing, such as hormones, or something more serious that should be looked into.
