Accepted Answer

: No. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Menstrual periods: Periods can be irregular at times, due to hormones, stress, diet, etc. Be sure to keep track of periods on a calendar. Count from the 1st day of one period to the 1st day of the next to see what your pattern is. The date can change since some months have more days than others. If you are sexually active, make sure you have effective birth control. If you are concerned, see your doctor.
