Irregular Menses: It is common for young women to occasionally have their periods last longer/shorter, come early/late or miss them all together. If you continue to have irregular cycles x 2 more months, see ur clinician for an evaluation. Cramps and backaches from prostaglandins - substances that cause uterus to contract to expel menstrual tissue when you do not conceive. Try naprosyn (naproxen) or ibuprofen.
