i have had my period for 7 years now, is it normal that its still irregular?

Question

i am sexually active.

Answer 1

yes i think it is make sure that you get exercise and stress could be a reason but i dont think its anything to worry about as long as your having them.

Answer 2

Yeah, I would think it's normal. I had my first period when I was 11 and up until earlier this year when I started taking birth control (I was 18, so I've had my period for 7 years also) it was always irregular, like usually 30 to 40-some days in between. Although as I said, I now take birth control and I pretty much always have it exactly every 28 days.

Answer 3

If you're sexually active, you really ought to be on the pill since you won't have that warning of a missed period if you end up getting pregnant.
My periods were not normal for about 6-7 years, then they went crazy and I went on the pill to regulate.

Answer 4

for some women an irregular period is the norm, mine was for about 14 years, or until I had my kids - ever since, they've been pretty regular.

Answer 5

try asking your gyno about going on the pill it helps regulate your periods and protects you from unwanted pregnancies but they do not protect against std's
