A menstrual cycle generally lasts from 22 to 40 days, with 28 days being average. Most women will have some menstrual irregularity during their childbearing years. Among common causes of menstrual irregularity are pregnancy (including tubal pregnancy), stress, obesity, over-dieting and over-exercising, thyroid disorders, blood disorders and hormone imbalance. Persistent, irregular periods may also mean that you are not ovulating regularly.
Having an abnormal cycle every now and then does not usually signal a health problem. But a woman with persistently irregular periods should seek medical advice of your own doctor or any other health care professional. A woman, who is not pregnant but usually has regular periods and misses three periods in a row, should also be evaluated by her medical doctor. Diagnosis may be made based on your medical history, a physical examination and tests, which may include a Pap smear, blood tests and an ultrasound study of the uterus and ovaries.

No it's not...You need to get in to see your doctor to make sure everything is ok, not having a period is not good and it can cause other problems.....
I have always been slightly irregular and i would miss my period for three months or longer and i would never go to the doctor..My periods started getting worse and worse until i stopped my period for over a year, finally i went into the doctor and they did all sorts of tests but couldn't find anything wrong..My husband and i decided to try and have a baby well without having periods i couldn't get pregnant so i started seeking help from an infertility specialist who just diagnosed me with PCOS..I'm not sure if the PCOS was caused because i wasn't getting periods but it's better to be safe than sorry..
Not having periods can cause alot of problems if you are not pregnant, so get in to see your doctor to make sure everything is ok..
good luck!

Did your period start recently? Young women just starting to menstruate often have irregular periods. If you've been having regular cycles for years and then you suddenly miss your period for three months, it could be concerning. However, travel, weight loss, etc. can cause your period to stop. If weight loss sounds like a possibility, you might want to see a doctor or dietician to see if your weight loss is too rapid or extreme.

Mensuration is the discarding of a ripened ovary, out of the uterus with some torn off tissues and surrounded blood as it rolls down the fallopian tube and uterus walls to exit. Ovary must monthly ripen one if system is normal. Any abnormality is attributed to genetical constituents or else the upset in your hormone level due to stress or food habbits of yours. However this type of cases are plenty and that does not qualify you to sit silently but must investigate the course and then rectify it. Ovulation is controlled by your hormone levels. Read on hormones like testosterone etc if you want to enlighten on it. The food that you take and body and mental excitements and stress also play roles in it, above all consult your mom if she had same problems then genetically you carry over it. First doctor is mum and then the physician. Do not postpone meet your family (female) doctor and openly consult. Be quick,

speaking from experience... some of us are just irregular with our cycles. they can vary when we have stress or change our environment(move/switch jobs/new women around) if this isn't the norm for you you may want to check to see what is going on. you may be enemic and if you up your calories and take iron supplements(caution use as directed you can get too much iron too) it should go back to normal. if you are on one of the newer birth control pills that are continuous they mess with your hormones so the body will only spot or not bleed at all is there a chance you pregnant? so check with your dr if that could be the case. sometimes women don't know when they are pregnant and it may seem scary but your best option is the dr. planned parenthood used to do pregnancy tests with every appointment and they are prorated for income level. best of luck

well if you are sexually active you could be pregnant, but if you are taking birth control that you only have it every 3 months it is ok, the shoot can eat at your bone marrow so i wouldn't advise that... but if you have just missed it for 3 months then they can put you on birth control to regulate your period..
