2 or 3 Irregular periods, time to see the GP?
I am 20/f. I have had one slightly late time of the month (tested not pregnant) two in one month and now over a week late again (again tested and not pregnant).
On top of that they have all been much lighter than normal and only lasted 3 days compared to my usual 5-7 days.
I am just living with my nan, having 2 to 3 meals a day and having at least half hour walks each day.
I will admit that me and the other half are sexually active and have been since May but we are relitavely careful though pregnancy would be a blessing and a curse with our living sitation at the moment.
We would both love children but not yet, we would at least need a flat first and I haven't yet started my job which isn't many hours but its a start.
I am wondering whether or not to leave the GP until next month or book an appointment sometime this week or next? (they're a nightmare to get hold of)

I would suggest a GYN rather than a GP. I would also suggest doing this sooner rather than later as doing so now will make you feel better. Waiting will only cause anxiety which in itself can cause disruption in your cycle.

I'm 19/f and recently my periods have been about a week late too. The only thing that's changed for me is more exercise and better eating, so maybe that's it. Lots of things can change your pattern. Things like stress, sickness, weight gain/loss and medicine you might be taking. Is there anything in your life that has changed, and is there anything else about your health that has been different lately? As in, being sick a lot, headachy, dizziness...etc? If you find a combination then I would say go to your GP and find out if somethings going on.
Sometimes it just happens. Prior to the past two months my periods have been incredibly regular, like to the day I expected them, so it might be my body going through phases.
I actually spoke to a friend of mine and realised I had fallen in sync with her after not seeing her for a while.
I don't think you should be too worried. Periods change all the time. Sometimes they last longer than other times, sometimes they're heavier, sometimes you get cramps and other times you don't. If it'll make you feel better, then definitely book in to see your GP. There's nothing wrong with seeking professional help when you're worried about your health.
