Question 1

is it possible to get your period 15 days after the end of last period? i'm bleeding heavy right now and it has gooey tissue like stuff. im 17 btw

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes it is possible to have a period that is "too soon".  Pregnancy is the most common cause.  Other etiologies could include recent use of contraception, or non vaginal bleeding.  Given the passage of "tissue" this should be evalauted by an gyenecologist.

Question 2

is it normal not to get your period for 3 months after your 1st  d&c?  i tried provera (medroxyprogesterone) and now am starting bc, but i'm scared it could be ashermans.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Asherman's syndrome is a possibility.  The risk after  a single D &amp; C is 16%.  The best way to diagnose it is with hysteroscopy where the physician looks directly inside your uterus to see if there is scarring.  You need to discuss this with your gynecologist

Question 3

can you have irritation in the vagina from having sex right when your supposed to get your period? my period is now two days late.

Accepted Answer

Vaginal irritation: Irritation of the walls of the vagina is unrelated to the timing of your menses. A late period warrants a pregnancy test.

Question 4

is that normal get your period twice in the month? my period was late for 60 days and coming 2 weeks  ago last 5 days and now is  back again!

Accepted Answer

Peri-menopausal: Periods can get rather flakey right about our ages!  if you are experiencing any other symptoms: hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings...It could be related to the "change". Women often follow their mother's age of menopause, so, that could be a good question to ask your mom if possible!  ask doc for things that can help symptoms such as vaginal estrogen cream.  Good luck!

Question 5

if you don't get your period for months and  not pregnant. now periods come twice a month and heavy pain. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal imbalance: If you're having inconsistent periods, it could be a sign that you need a tune up. I would talk to your OB/GYN about your menstrual history. Is this something that's sudden and previously you had regular periods? Or is this something you've been struggling with for a long time? You might need to check your thyroid or try a few cycles of hormonal contraception.

Question 6

i've had my menstrual period on january 1 through 4, and now got it today on january 28. that is 26 days. is this not to early? i did travel &get cold

Accepted Answer

Variation: Menstrual cycles do not have to be exactly 28 days apart.  It is normal for it occur with some variation from month to month.  Stress, body weight, and other factors can also play a role in your menstrual cycle timing/length of period.  If you are concerned or see drastic changes in your cycle, it is best to see your ob/gyn.

Question 7

do annovulatory cycles cause less bleeding than ovulatory when you get your period? i didnt ovulate this cycle and now i only see blood when i wipe

Accepted Answer

Ovulation gaps ?: Anovulatory cycles usually have no bleeding associated unless there have been multiple anovulatory cycles , allowing thickening of the lining of the womb due to continued estrogen production without ovulation, and breakdown of the lining cells.  Fibroid tumors and polyps can also cause bleeding, so see your gyn physician if this continues.

Question 8

i recently lost weight and now i have amenorrhea, how can i get my menstrual period back? i'm 16, i haven't had sex so i'm not pregnant.

Accepted Answer

Weight loss is key: It is not uncommon for a teenage girl to have her periods stop after weight loss, especially if it is a lot (e.g. more than 10 lb).  The most common causes are lots of exercise (e.g. competitive swimming) with not enough food intake, or an eating disorder.  Regaining the lost weight usually restarts periods but it can take a while.   Suggest you see either an adolescent medicine or ped endocrine

Question 9

how old do you have to be to get your period?

Accepted Answer

Varies: There is not certain age.  It sems to be younger and younger.  Girls 7-8 years old are having menses.  It is usually 10-13 years of age but may be as late as 14-16.  If you are in good health and growing and developing normall and eating a normal diet and have not particular health issues, don't worry, it will come.  If you go to 14 and not having menses, talk with your parents about seeing a doct.

Question 10

it is normal to get your period every 3 weeks?

Accepted Answer

21-35 days: It is normal to have a period every 21-35 days. There are many options to decrease menstrual bleeding and regulate your cycle.  Birth control methods will help. Mirena (levonorgestrel) can reduce or eliminate the cycle. Lysteda is a non hormonal medication. If you are done having children an endometrial ablation can be an option.
