What causes irregular periods?

Question

i am 39 years old and have a history of irregular periods. FOr the past year and a half, i have had a 3 month cycle. I keep thinking i am pregnant but my last check proved negative. Is there some thing wrong. I am a mother of 3.

About 10 years ago, i visited a doctor on this same issue and it was diagnosed that i was not ovulating. I was given clomid to take. Do u think i should start taking clomid again.

Irregular periods can also be a sign of a hormone imbalance and should be checked out by a dr.

Answer 2

Have you seen a doctor recently?This would be a good thing to do!!
I am not a doctor, but, many things can cause this...I sometimes don't get mine until a month later which can be annoying..

I think that meds, stress, obesity, lack of sleep, excercising too much, or a change in your life habits. stuff like that can do this sort of thing...as well as not enough excercise...also medical issues..and illnesses.....go and get yourself an appt with a doctor..to ask what is happening....this is the best thing for you! Don't put this off!! It could be a clue or it might not...but, you won't know until you see the doctor!!!


I wish you the very best!!
