need recommendations . . .

Is it common at all for menstrual cycles to change or alter. Usually im regular, I get my period once a month. Bust for the past few times its been kinda off… Im getting it every 3 weeks and it lasts for 5 days

light - first cycle
heavy- second cycle
very light…. - right now...

i got my period 2 weeks earlier than im supposed to
has this happened to anyone? were it just kinda fluctuates and than goes back to normal... i would normally call my doctor but shes awayy. ugh now im worried

- my gyno is away for a WHOLE MONTH on vacation, can anyone please recommend me to a good gyno that is in Nassau County. thanks

Re: need recommendations . . .

are you on the pill? If not, you may need to go on to regulate your period....

Re: need recommendations . . .

Yes its normal for this to happen. For 8 months i was getting my period about every 2 weeks, as you can imagine it was very frustrating. Sometimes it would be every 2 weeks, or even a week later, then I wouldn't get it for a month.

What i suggest is you go to your ob/gyn and tell her about this so they can do a sonogram to see why. The reason they had to do a sonogram on me is to see if i had a cyst, which they said can be a reason this was happening. They checked to make sure everything was fine which it was. Then they found out I had a hormonal imbalance that was causing this. Sometimes its just stress

I am not on BC when this happened

Sounds like it can be stress related.

if this just happened once or twice then most likely it is stress related. Also once in a while your cycles changes it up so can happen. If this goes on for MONTHS then i would go see the gyno but as of now seems like just stress.

i haven't had my period since sept. 8 I went to the ob/gyn yesterday they said I am not pregnant and that everything is fine and to keep taking the pill and lets see if your period comes next month i have never missed a period so this is truly scary I just pray things gets back to normal soon

I heard this too I don't know of a good gyn in Nassau but in Huntington, the North Shore Medical Group gyns are very good. They are across the street from Huntington Hospital on Mill Lane-631.351.3766.
