A member asked:

Is bad to skip periods more than once?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: If you are on a birth control the answer is No. It is perfectly fine to skip menses. If you are not on birth control then it is not normal to skip a period. Women's menstrual cycle is like a heart beat, predictable and regular. If your not getting normal periods you should consult your doctor.
