Question 4

why is it so important to have a normal period?

Accepted Answer

?: Why would you want otherwise? At 45 it is likely that you will soon be having no more and they may already be irregular.

Question 5

when should i test again if no normal period comes?

Accepted Answer

5 days late is enoug: I assume you are talking about pregnancy test. If your cycle is more than five days late then a pregnant test should show a positive result if you are pregnant. If the test is negative you might want to repeat it in 3 to 4 days one more time. There are other reasons for missing a cycle.

Question 6

no proper period for months then suddenly normal period, why?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: There is no way to tell via healthtap why you would suddenly have a period after months of no period.  The first question would be "why have you not been having periods". It is likely that you are just having breakthrough bleeding.  If you don't continue with monthly menses, you should see your doctor.

Question 7

can u have a normal period stop for 24 hours then start again?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is common for the menses to wax and wane, start and stop, ebb and flow.  The cycles can vary from time to time.

Question 8

what causes a period to be very light compared to normal period flow?

Accepted Answer

Two things: There are two things that make for a light period. One, a minimal endometrium growth due to hormonal contraceptives or other hormonal reasons. The second reason is pregnancy in which the light  flow is due to bleeding from that source.

Question 9

wut could be wrong if u have ur period for 17 days? my normal period is 5 days

Accepted Answer

Check pregnancy test: This can be causes from various conditions. Pregnancy or hormonal problems. I would recommend seeing a doctor and getting testing for thyroid disease, prolactin and other hormonal testing, in addition to an ultrasound to rule out uterine conditions - such as fibroids.

Question 10

my last normal period. was jan30 ended  febuary.the 4 when  will my baby arrive?

Accepted Answer

Maybe early November: Assuming normal, regular periods, the easiest way to calculate your due date is to subtract 3 months and then add 7 days from the first day of your last period. In this case that would be nov. 6.  A baby is considered full term from 3 weeks before to 2 weeks after that date. Whenever possible it is best to confirm your due date with a pelvic sonogram in the first 3 months.
