see a gynecologist!!!

Answer 2

I'm 23 and NEVER had a regular period. When I was 17, my doctor put me on birth control pills, which helped with the regularity and cramping, but made me a bit PSYCHO (very moody, everything pissed me off). I've been off the pill for almost a year now. My doctor has diagnosed me with polycystic ovarian syndrome, marked by irregular periods, rapid weight gain, abdominal pain (esp. around ovaries). She has me taking progesterone every 3 months to make me get my period. I hate taking the horomones but 10 days of psycho-ness is better than 24/7. Ask your doctor if he/she thinks it would be a good idea to have an ultrasound done to see if you have any cysts. Good luck!

Answer 3

If you ever question or have reason to doubt your doctor, get a second opinion from another. Doctors aren't flawless, unquestionable gods that you must obey at all costs.

You should also question your original doctor further as to why you had to stop the pills. Were they doing liver damage or some other harm not readily apparent? (I couldn't tell from the way you wrote it if was your choice or your doctor's choice that you stopped)

Sometimes it's hard to think of questions for your doctor when you're sitting there in on the examining table so make up a list of questions beforehand and take it with you.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Most irregular periods are benign. Missed periods, too frequent periods, spotting, or bouts of heavy clotting and bleeding are usually caused by an underlying hormonal imbalance that is easily treated.

A wide variety of factors can be responsible for irregular periods, among them:

Significant weight gain or loss
Over-exercise
Poor nutrition (or a diet too high in carbohydrates)
Smoking
Drug use
Caffeine
Excessive alcohol use (interfering with how the liver metabolizes estrogen and progesterone)
Eating disorders
Increased stress
Polycystic ovarian syndrome/estrogen dominance
Uterine abnormalities (fibroids/cysts/polyps/endometriosis)
Hormonal imbalance related to perimenopause
Medications
Chemotherapy
Recent childbirth, miscarriage, or D&C
Breastfeeding

Answer 5

Most people who have issues like you do, have to be put on birth control pills to help regulate their system. Even though the human body is a fine tuned piece of work, not all body systems work completely like they should.

GO to your gynecologist and get a follow up. Going to a GP (general practice) may not be the best answer. Most woman by now have settled down in their menstral cycle and dont have too much trouble so, please go and follow up.

You and your mom both will feel much better getting an good opinon from someone who has the knowledge to treat you.

Answer 6

Irregular periods occur solely due to imbalances in hormones. These are corrected by doctors by giving a cycle of birth control pills. That is because birth control pills work by moderating hormones. So one evident solution is to get onto the pill. The cycle will regulate in 3-4 months...

Answer 7

Did The Doctor Actually Do Tests?

Like Ovulation Ultrasounds Etc.

With Some Girls, Some Of their Periods Actually go unoticed especially if they're very athletic.

It could be that your having them and not the menstration or you might be ovulating sporatically and this could be an indication ov ovarian cancer/sists etc,

Get Tests Immediately.

Hope This Helps.

Answer 8

You should not have stopped the "pills" the doctor gave you! They were a low level birth control pill to regulate your cycle and balance hormones. There is a reason she put you on them! Go back to the doctor, and get back (and stay) on the pills...you will then have regular periods

Answer 9

Why did you stop the tablets if they were working? Your doctor most likely had you on birth control pills which regulates girls' periods. You should definitely go back to your doctor and continue your medication.

Answer 10

if you are an athelete this is normal (or real skinny) runners etc have this problem. I used to have them every 2 weeks at your age so I went on the pill to regulate. it could just be your normal way. go to a seperate dr with the name of the pills you were on and get a second opinion to be safe.

Answer 11

You need to go back to the doctor (gyno) and tell them what is going on. You may have a hormone imbalance. If things can't be cleared up, maybe try an endocrinologist.
