My Periods Are Random

Post Reply New Topic

My periods are really random which I find frustrating and uncomfortable

Is it the same for you other girls? It really disrupts my routines.

Basically, yes.
I also only have them around every six months.

My periods are either: Regular ones that happens monthly. AND irregular ones where sometimes not having any sort of period for few months straight.

I don't even take any sort of meds for my period.

Broken routines, I do not mind. But reacting hormones however...

Yes mine are random too and always have been, I never know when i'm gonna bleed and some months I don't bleed at all. I don't know why it is and never really gotten answer for it but it is frustrating to say the least.

Mine have always been random as well It can be really annoying as it just happens whenever, and the mood swings I get with them is really upsetting too.

I'm glad we're not alone with this For a long time I thought it was just me.

I thought I had gone through the change, as I didn't have a period for two years but, in June, I had one. I hope it's just a fluke. I'm almost 54 and took for granted I went through menopause after two years without a period.

Have any of you guys been to see a Dr about this? Could be some sort of underlying issue like PCOS or Endometriosis.

Mine are random too but I have both PCOS and endometriosis. If the randomness causes you issues you can track your cycles with apps and then you’ll know when your period will start within a day or two. I’ve been doing this for years and now I have all of this data about myself. Who doesn’t love data?

If your periods are more than 3 months apart you should see your doctor and they can prescribe progesterone to make you shed your uterine lining. If you go more than 3 months without bleeding it can increase your risk for uterine cancer.

Also not having a regular period can cause you to be estrogen dominant which can cause all sorts of issues including issues affecting your mood like depression and anxiety.

I know it sucks but it’s important to stay on top of these issues. Having an irregular period is not normal. Although when you see your doctor they’ll likely brush it off. It often takes women 8 to 10 years to get diagnosed with endometriosis. It took me 20 years of bugging my doctors to get diagnosed with PCOS!

Any of you gals underweight or exercise a lot? Generally speaking girls need to have normal range BMI to maintain regular ovulation / periods. You might think it doesn't matter if you don't want children, But the years not ovulating can add up. Progesterone protect us from bone loss, mood disorder and some other things. It would be best to have your hormones checked.

I am of normal weight for my height and play tennis once a week, so nothing really unusual. I have managed to keep my weight in a normal range with regular exercise. I eat sensibly, but well. I was certain I had gone through the change, but had a freak period in June.
