A member asked:
My period follows a pattern where it comes for two consecutive months then skips three months (no period) then the cycle repeats. is this normal?

No: You would likely not be ovulating for the months that you do not have a period. That is not normal. You can consider taking the pill to regulate your cycle.

Not ovulating: Your ovaries are not releasing an egg every month. You should see your doctor to be evaluated. If everything is normal, no intervention if needed if you are ok with the pattern.

Oligomenorrhea: Skipping this many menstrual periods is called oligomenorrhea, and it is not normal if it continues for a long time. If you skip at least 6 months of periods in a row, it is called amenorrhea, which is also abnormal. Blood tests can help reveal a hormonal cause, and some women go on OCP to help regulate their periods.
