A member asked:

Last month my period was 5 days early and lasted for 14 days. what may be the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. Consult this site for more information on this topic. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx

I have a pretty regular period, my cycle usually comes a few days early or late. Last week I got my period 13 days early. Is that normal? I'm not sexually active so it can't be spotting right? It lasted five days
