I've had my period for a year and a half and still irregular?!


Question: I've had my period for a year and a half and still irregular!?
I'm sixteen year old and had my period for over a year and a half and they are still irregular!. Up until now they were always a week or more late, but lately they have been coming a week early!. I've heard that it takes a year for a period to become regular and I'm confused as to why mine isn't!. Is it normal for it to still be irregular!? I know the pill can help make your periods regular, but I'm not sure I would want to go on the pill!. It is just such a big inconvenience not knowing when my period will start!.

Answers:
I've been irregular since I started having periods!. The only thing that got me on track was birth control!. I went on the pill and was horrible at taking them on time and ended up screwing up my periods even more so!. Switched to the patch and even with all the bad things I've heard about it, I'm not interested in switching!. Birth control is definitely something to look into for regulating your period!. Do your research and find the type that suits you best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't always take a year, and sometimes it takes a lot longer!. There are some girls who have their period for 3 years before it becomes regular, and then there are some girls who have irregular periods their whole lives!. If your period has never been regular, then there's nothing wrong!. But if your period suddenly started acting up, see a doctor!. And someone did mention that BC regulates it!. Why would you not want to go on the pill!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should go to the doctor!. See what they think!. There are test they can run!. You start your period and stop your period due to hormones!. If there is something not right you will want to be treated!. This can effect your fertility when you become an adult and want to start a family!. They may not put you on the pill if there is something else that can be done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
