Should I get a check-up ASAP about my very irregular menstrual cycle? I don't have a regular schedule, I don't even bother counting the days. Is that bad? This was my situation ever since the first time I had my period - 6 years ago. Should I be concerned about this and see a doctor or something?

When I was a teenage 13-15 (I'm 44 now), I had irregular cycles, sometimes 2 in 1 month and I had severe cramping and couldn't keep anything down, not even water for the first day everytime. My pediatrician told my dad I needed birth control pills to help regulate me. It worked. I took them for years. I still had cramps but not severe ones, taking Tylenol did the trick, and w/the 28 day pack my cycles were on time every time. So, yes...see a doctor...good luck

i used to have irregular period also,,, at times it would not come for like three months,, then it would come for long period of times, never at a set schedule and alot of cramps. I went to the doctor and he gave a pill to regulate it. he also made me get an ultra sound, turns out when things like this happens you have cysts in your ovaries. it may or may not affect you in having kids in future. i tried it for a while but it only worked out by taking the pill.. i stopped taking the pill and the same problem started again. this time i took the birth control pill doc said it regulates the period which it did but i stopped that also,,, My first doctor told me to exercise and eat alot of fruits it would help,, guess what it does, now i dont have to take any pills or anything at all, it come regularly,,, all you have to do is exercise regularly and eat fruits. Keep yourself active... It worked for me...

Yes I would get checked as soon as possible. I use to go months or even close to a year without having a period I left it go untreated to long and had to have a hyterectomy done when I was 23. I had cysts,endometreosis etc. Please get checked it's not healthy or are you on the pill now? If not try taking the pill.

sometimes it takes a decade for a menstrual cycle to even out, sometimes they never do.
i suggest you read more about your sexual organ and it's function in books. asking here doesn't give you the space or the people who are knowledgeable to explain ALL the details. your local lbrary can probably help, or go on line to find the book titles and ask your library to order them for you. sometimes this works, all depends on your library's financial resources. or, just buy the books yourself, they're a good reference for any children you will be raising.

Yes, please see your doctor to have them evaluate the situation to see what they think is causing it. A hormone imbalance could be causing your periods to be irregular, but the doctor will help you to try and figure out what is going on.
