A member asked:
What causes irregular menstrual periods in young girls?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on age: It may take up to 18 months after the first period for menstruation to become regular. In order for a girl or woman to have a period, a complex series of hormone signals has to take place. It can take the body time to get all of those signals "in sync, " so it may be many months before the period becomes regular.
