A member asked:
My period skipped a month and resumed the next month. this month it's not on but it keeps spotting on and off. should i be worried?

No: It is common for young women to occasionally have erratic menstrual periods, especially if you are thin/fit and exercise regularly. It is due to fluctuations in your levels of estrogen. Taking "the pill" can help regulate your cycles. If the irregularity persists, see your physician.
