My Period is Out of Control

 
 
I know irregular periods are normal, but I’ve had mine for over a year now, and its not just irregular, it’s REALLY irregular! I’ll have it for month straight, and then not have it for a month. Then I’ll have it for a week, be period-free the next week, and then have it for another two weeks.
 
I haven’t had it for five weeks now. Sometimes it’s very heavy and can fill up a "super absorbency" tampon in 20 or 30 minutes. What is going on?

 

Things can seem really nutty when you first start getting your period. It can be early or late, light or heavy, and it’s hard to know what’s normal. But if you’re experiencing a month-long period, that’s probably not normal. Best idea is to make a quick visit to your doc and have things checked out.

 

A little bit of abnormality is OK, but if ya wanna be stress-free, it sounds like you should see if your doctor has some insight into why things are so erratic with your not-so-friendly monthly visitor.

I've had my period twice now and its been a little over 2 months since the second one. I know periods are really irregular at first but is THAT late normal?

 

Hey girly, I'm no doctor,  but if this is only your third period, then I'm sure it's normal. Periods can also come late if your stressed or if you've been sick. If you're super worried, you can talk to your mom or a doc.

MOD MOD MOD my period is irregular, but normal in a way. It comes for two weeks, or three weeks and then skips a month or two or three. i have been having my period for 4 years and for 2 or 3 years it was normal, but it has been doing this for a little over a year. I did go to the doc, she checked for disease and stuff, but i am very healthy, so i dont know what it is, what should i do, and is this irregular patern regular scince it always is the same kinda




Hey chica, if the doc said it's okay, then it must be okay. As long as you are getting breaks in between periods, then you're fine. And that sounds pretty regular, so I wouldn't worry about it. If you're really athletic, that could have something to do with it, too, because that can delay periods.

Hey babe. Have you ever had a cramp from working out? It feels a little like that. I think they feel different for everyone. Mine just feel achy and hurt more every so often.

I'm eleven, been having my period for six months, and i get really long periods like six to eight days and EVery other months I get my period 14 days after it stopped,is it normal?




Hey girl, that sounds a bit like a short cycle but I'd talk to your doc and see what they think. If it's a bigger thing, they'll have you tested so they can pinpoint the cause and let you know the best thing to do.

MOD! I've had my period about 7 times now, and it's usually only like a day or so off, but last time I had it for 2 weeks then a week without, and then another two. Now I haven't had it for two weeks, but I've gotten A LOT of discharge. Help?




Hey! the first year is sometimes irregular but if you still have questions you should ask your doctor Smile
