When Do Periods Become Regular? Posted: 06-20-06 20:18pm
Hi all, I have a question regarding my
period & hopefully won't come off as
extremely ignorant. :| any help would be
appreciated....
Basically, I was wondering at what age I
should expect my menstrual period to
become a regular, recurring cycle? I
know that one should expect their period
from ages 12-16, but I am 17 and my first
period occurred at age 13 -- and it
definitely is not regular. I have not
gotten it in almost a year! Furthermore,
will I have to go on the pill if I tell my
doctor this & she prescribes it to
regulate my period?
Please, I would appreciate any advice.

If your body doesn't have a period that
often whos to say it should? I really
disagree with the idea of doctors trying
to regulate periods. I started my period
when I was 16 and had it 3 times a year
until I had children. And it was always
very random and totally unpredictable.
After I had kids and somehow I think just
having sex helped to regulate it so now I
have a period either every 40 days or
every 60. My body still hasn't decided if
it wants to do 40 or 60 so I never know.
Both times I decided to take a pregnancy
test I was already 2.5 months along!
Ha. There are a lot of normal women out
there with abnormal peroids.
