Yes, and it was a partial miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. The OB/GYN I had at the time was never really sure. Instead of miscarrying all at once, I was probably miscarrying really slowly for about a month. I didn't know I had been pregnant (no symptoms) and when I finally went to the doctor, the pregnancy test was positive but the hormone levels from a blood test showed that the pregnancy was not viable. Which I had already figured out from all the bleeding, duh. They treated it as if it was an ectopic pregnancy, just to be safe.
So -- go to the doctor!

I have had a period that lasted 17 days after not getting one for 39 days. I knew that it wasn't right, I just felt weird about it, so I went to my GYN. I found out that I had more than a few ovarian cysts that were disrupting my cycle. Are you also getting bad cramps even when you aren't bleeding? If you are you should go to the doc. I mean, you should go to the doc anyway just to make sure, but if you are having cramps with no bleeding or spotting it could indicate a problem. Some women do not have normal cycles anyway, but if you have regular cycles normally I would contact your doc. Birth Control (if you are not already on it) can help with this problem if there are no other factors and internal problems. Good luck & try not to worry too much, just go :)

rregular Menstrual Cycles May Predict Diabetes
Not all women have a regular four-week menstruation cycle; cycles can range from between 20 to 40 or more days, and in some women the cycle length changes regularly. Diabetes, a condition in which a person has higher than normal blood sugar, can cause damage to the heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and other organs. Unusually long, extremely irregular, or infrequent menstrual cycles may be linked to insulin resistance and the development of type 2 (or adult-onset) diabetes.
To assess the risk for type 2 diabetes in women with a history of irregular menstrual cycles, the authors of a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association followed over 100,000 women who had reported their menstrual cycle patterns from 18-22 years of age. A "usual" cycle was considered to be 26 to 31 days; weight, race, family history, cigarette use, and other factors were also examined.
Women with long (40+ days) or irregular menstrual cycles were more than twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes over the 10-year study period than women with usual cycles. Women with very short cycles (21 days or less) were 1.5 times more likely to develop the condition than those with normal cycles. Overweight women had a significantly increased risk for type 2 diabetes as well, but obesity could not account for the increased risk in women with irregular cycles.
Unusual menstrual cycles may indicate metabolic changes that increase a woman's risk for insulin resistance. Insulin resistance hinders a woman's ability to process sugars and can cause type 2 diabetes over time. If you typically have very long or short menstrual cycles, especially if your menstrual cycle is highly irregular, take extra precautions to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. Talk to your doctor of chiropractic about diabetes prevention, and go to http://www.chiroweb.com/tyh/women.html for more information on women's health.

Yes I've had that happen to me. If you are sexually active you could have been pregnant and had a very early miscarriage. Or you could have some hormonal imbalance. Then also, possibly it could be caused by some of the newer 'implant' type contraceptives.

I was messed up from depo shot. I didn't have a period for about 3 months, then all of a sudden....BAM! I had a period for 3 months straight, my poor hubby. I never have regular periods anyway, they vary from month to month. I could have two in one month sometimes. I am only 23, so I don't think it is menopause.....dammit!

I just finished my period after a full month. And the month prior I had no period. My gyno just put me on birth control pills to regulate my period.

if you use any type of bc method you may be having a hormonal problem, or you could be miscarrying. You should see a dr now or go to the ER asap, it could be nothing, but it could be something too, better safe than sorry.
