Question 1

i've had my period for 2 to 3 years now and it is still irregular. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No but common: This is a very common problem. Talk to a doctor about starting on a birth control pill to get things under control. For many young women, the irregular periods also cause a lot of cramping.

Question 2

i've had my period for 4 years, & it's still irregular! now i get it a lot more frequently, but i still don't get it once a month. is this  normal?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal irregularit: Many factors can influence your cycles.  Diet, weight changes, stress, medications to name a few.  Depending on your age and how long your symptoms have been present, a further/complete work-up may be in order.  Follow up with your ob/gyn is prudent here.

Question 3

i have been on gianvi (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) birth control pills for about three years, and never had trouble. i had my period two weeks ago as normal, and sex last weekend, and now i am bleeding a bit and don't know why.

Accepted Answer

Probably OK: Occasional irregular bleeding with birth control pills is generally not worrisome. If the problem continues a gyn provider should be consulted.

Question 4

i've only had my period for 2 years now and its always been irregular. but now its every two weeks, can anything regulate it?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are many different ways to regulate it by taking one of various different types of hormones. But the first step is to find out why they are irregular - pcos, thyroid abnormality, uterine polyp, fibroids, etc. They an appropriate treatment can be given to make you more comfortable.

Question 5

i got my period two weeks early and im a virgin is that normal? i have had my period for almost 6 years now

Accepted Answer

Likely yes: Unfortunately, a history of regular periods does not mean all of your periods will be right on time. Occasional break through bleeding or mid cycle bleeding can occur. If it just happens occasionally, it doesn't need to be treated unless it bothers you; then a bc pill may be in order.

Question 6

i started my period at 15 and they are still extremely irregular 2 years later. one time i didnt have it for 8 months and as of right now i havent had it since january. is there something really wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

Irregular ovulation: is most likely cause, if not pregnant. This can be from polycystic ovarian syndrome, or thyroid issues, for example. Testing and treatment with your doctor is the next best step.

Normal cycle?: For your body, this cycle is normal. Some women have irregular periods all their lives and some seem to settle down after a time, or after pregnancy.
