Natural variation: What you described falls within usual variations in menstrual periods. 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. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

I thought I was pregnant, didn't get period for 4months. Now I have my period and there's a bunch of clotting, it's bright red blood, my cramps are extremely painful. I've bled thru three pairs of pants, I'm worried about what's going on.
