Menstrual Cycle Q....?!
Question: I'm 20 - have a 1 yr old - sexually active w/fiance - not stressed anymore than usual - have no major changes in weight or diet.
My period was late in January - about 2 days late and it only lasted 1 1/2 days. I called my GYN and he said it was fine. Before the actual "period" I had pregnancy-like symptoms and I say that because I usually only have cramps and I was bloated/hungry/urinating a lot. Anyways, February's period was VERY early by like 4 days and lasted only 2 days. These 2 peiods were also lighter than usually but still moderate bleeding. Now I am STILL waiting on a period I was supposed to have at least by Mon or Tues. I was supposed to start my Birth control in Jan but I was concerned I might be preggo. I got maybe 3 HPTs they said neg. I still didnt take the BC because I dont want my doc to blame my carzy periods on the BC. Any suggestions on whats going on or what to do? Thanks.

I would go ask the doctor if you are pregnant, just to be sure. Other then that, sometime periods are just weird like that. I have had problems in the past similar to what you are saying, length changing, early, late, and no apparent reason. But I do think you are smart to wait on your BC until you find out if you are pregnant or not.
I think that you are within the realms of normal. but hard to say without knowing your regular pattern I would start the bc. You have held off on it quite a while now
