What is a irregular period?

Irregular is about U: Irregular period are periods that are different that your normal periods. This usually represents a change in when, how long or how intense the period is compared to your normal periods.

See your doctor: At 47 yrs of age, the hormonal changes related to aging are frequently a cause of irregular periods and need to be investigated. A sonogram, labs and possibly a biopsy of the lining of the uterus may be needed. Fibroids can cause as well. Once dangerous causes are ruled out: tx options may include: a low dose ocp, cyclic progestin/ or Progesterone pills, or surgical tx's if you want to stop them.

Depends: The BC pill can often pace your cycles by using it's supplemental hormones to make you regular/predictable. That will require that you meet with an OBGYN & have a thorough review of personal/family medical history to see if you are suitable. Some can come off the pill in the future & remain regular but some do not. It is something to try.
