A member asked:

Mom has a past history of irregular menses.i had mine at 17, same problem with very light flow.it's been 3 months since it last came.what should i do?

Birth Control Pills: Irregular periods have many causes. One of the most common is anovulation. If you don't ovulate, you won't have a regular period. This can be easily fixed by going on birth-control pills. See your Ob/Gyn to be sure. Best wishes!
