When you begin having periods, your body is getting used to it just like how you learned to ride a bike. You may experience irregular periods for the first year or so because your body is just getting used to it all (like how you were wobbly for the first bit of learning to ride a bike). Don't worry-things should straighten out! If you feel that something is very wrong, you should visit either your family doctor or gynecologist.
When you get on track your periods should be from 3-7 days.
If you are lucky you could get 3.
Many factors can influence the menstrual cycle. Stress, diet, and exercise can cause irregular periods. Hormone imbalances can cause them too.
It can take months for your periods get back to normal, especially if you are breast feeding you can miss periods or have long times between them. You can still get pregnant while breast feeding and having irregular periods though so you should still use contraception.
Everybody is different but that happened to me for the first 8 months :)
After you stop the birth control pill, your cycles will return to their natural pattern within a couple of months. If your periods were irregular before you went on the pill, they're likely to be irregular after.
As long as you're not sexually active and have recently started to have periods it is not uncommon for them to be irregular. If you're worried talk to your mum or gp
if you have just started ( up to 1 year) it is normal for your periods to be irregular. If they keep continuing like this feel free to see a gynecologist. You can see a gynecologist really any time you think it is necessary anyway.
Yes you can, as long as you are in the fertile phase of your cycle.
Menstruation typically occurs over 5-6 days - but everyone is different, and younger women may experience irregular periods so have longer or shorter periods.
This would depend on the individual; however irregular periods are normal for some. But, if you experience pain that lasts too long, you may want to have your OBG check you out. Tell them exactly what is going on, how long it's been going on and any other symptoms...
If you have regular periods then 5-6 weeks is too long since your last period. If you are 16 years old, you may be experiencing irregular periods. It happens.
Yes, the copper IUD (intrauterine device), brand-named Paragard in the US, can cause irregular periods, heavier periods and increased cramps. These side effects are more common in the first six months after the IUD is inserted. The Mirena IUD, which contains levonorgestrel, may cause irregular periods in the first months of use, but over time you can expect fewer periods and less bleeding.
not necessarily, irregular periods happen quite often, unless you have had unprotected sex. but a dramatic change in weight, or the amount you eat can also affect your period. Even stress can cause your period to be irregular or un-even.
