Irregular period.


Question Posted Thursday July 28 2005, 3:01 pm

I've been getting my period for close to 5 years now and the first 4 years I had it, it was completely regular. I'd get it exactly every 29 or 30 days, so If I didn't get it on the 29th day, it would be the day after. Starting in about March of this year, it was completely irregular. Normally I'd be prepared about when I'd get it, but I'd go to the bathroom 2 weeks after my last period and I started bleeding again. Then for 2 months it would come exactly on the 22nd. After I had a pregnancy scare, it's been coming whenever the hell it feels like it. I am now (according to my 29 day cycle) 5 or 6 days late. The last time I was sexually active was a week BEFORE my last period, and I did get my period that time. But I'm just trying to figure out what the hell is up with it! It's so frustrating! I will PMS for over 2 weeks and still no sign of my period! Does anyone have suggestions on what to do?

I'm 16, by the way and I've talked to my mother about putting me on birth control and she REFUSES. She keeps telling me that I have to learn how to deal with it..

Go to the doctors.. you have an irregeular peroid.. you might have to get on birth control to make your peroid regular

Sometimes your cycle can be irregular till you're a lot older. Takes a while for it to be consistent for long periods of time. Don't think much about it. But if you need reassurance, maybe take a pregnancy test. Can't hurt if you really need assurance about it. Also taking birth control doesn't always help so i would always prefer sex after marriage. Just dont worry and it'll work out!!!

You could talk to your gyno about birth control because that helps regulate your period.

Most women will experience times of greater or less variability in menstruation thoughtout their lives. A number of factors can influence this; stress, weight loss or gain, or physical activity, among other things.

Five or six days isn't seriously late, of course, and you probably don't have anything to worry about. But just because you had your period a week after your last sexual activity, that doesn't guarantee that you're not pregnant. It's much less *likely*, but it's not totally impossible to have a period shortly after getting pregnant.

It may be that your stress over your period is actually increasing its variability! So you need to see your OB/GYN, just to be sure. Once you get a better idea of what's going on, you'll feel a lot better.

You might also want to talk to your OB/GYN about birth control options, since you've had a couple of scares now. There are a number of safe and effective options available, and there's no reason not to use them if you don't want to get pregnant right now.

Good luck!

I would suggest going to the gyno for a checkup. There are a variety of things that can throw your period off cycle including a hormonal imbalance, diet change, stress, even exercising more. They can do tests to determine what's causing your period to go haywire and then treat it.
