Menstrual Cycle :: Alternating Between 19 Day Cycles And 44+ Day Cycles
Jan 27, 2016
Lately my periods have become increasingly strange. (I'm 22).
They have always been irregular (23-34) day cycles, 4-7 days long and moderately heavy but not horrible.
The past few months they have been alternating between 19 day cycles and 44+ day cycles.
Periods from the long ones start of so heavy that soak through tampons because I can't keep up with changing them for the first 2-3 days. I'm dizzy, nauseated, I can barely breathe when I stand up and almost black out even just walking around sometimes, intense migraines, indigestion, constipation, need to pee all night and my entire pelvis hurts, my hips hurt and pain shoots down both legs. My lower back aches but not horribly until after my period is over.
The short cycle is such a light period I barely have any blood on a tampon after 12 hours for the first 4-5 days and that's it, occasionally it will end in a single day of heavy bleeding and then be over. The pain is still there 2 weeks before these periods and is so bad in my hips that just standing or sitting for too long makes it worse, same with laying face down. I have intermittent pains in my left pelvis. I haven't been able to get pregnant in 2 1/2 years after having a child 6 years ago without a problem.
I had a pelvic exam done and my gyno said my uterus was enlarged and ordered an ultrasound. I had my hormones tested but they looked normal and I'm so confused by this. I had a csection 6 years ago could this be the cause of it since it doesn't seem to be hormonal?

Since I have started masturbating, I'm getting late for my monthly cycles so is daily masturbating a reason for my late monthly cycles ? What should I do ? What are the reasons for getting them late ?

Is it normal for menstrual cycles to be 36-59 days in length? For the past year this is what I've been dealing with, sometimes I will get a couple months where my cycle is 28 days but then the next 2 or 3 months it's out of whack again.
I've also got acne all over my chin, lower cheeks, and jawline. Before I started my period at age 13 I had perfect, almost porcelain skin. In the past year it's gone from bad to worse.
On my chin and neck I keep getting coarse black stray hairs that I have to constantly pluck. I've also got hair all over my neck that is so long I have to shave it. Is this "normal" for some women?
I also have those same black hairs on my breasts and chest area, not really patches but just random black hairs all over that I have to pluck (OUCH!).
My weight is also a problem, I was a small child but when became a teenager I started putting on weight, I am currently 5'1" and 160 lbs. Last June I put on about 15lbs in a week and a half without doing anything differently. I have worked out, tried to eat right and nothing will help me lose the weight.
I made an appointment with my doctor to address these issues but I just want to know, am I crazy? Are these things that happen to everyone or could there be something wrong with me? I don't want to go to his office and be looked at like a hypochondriac.

I am normally extremely fertile. I have been on the depo shot for only two cycles. Due to having two kids back to back i needed a small break. Its been a month i have been off. The ovulation strips show a faint line for a day or two then disappears. I'm on my second bottle of strips now. I have had 5 occasions of spotting ranging from bright red to dark brown, and some have had clots. I have also had two occasions of mild pain and cramping around my ovaries but nothing yet. I have been taking prenatal pills for a month and started maca root pills for a week now. My mother went through the change in her mid thirties and i'm currently 34. I really want to try to have this last baby we want to complete our family before or around my 35th birthday so that i don't have any problems health wise. I've been online looking at numerous ways to jump start ovulation, but i'm sure my doc wont give me clomid. Is there anything i can do to help it along?

I need to adjust my thyroid supplement therapy. I won't be able to see any of my doctors (GP, gynecologist, endocrinologist) for at least a month. Waiting list is that long.
I have PCOS and Hashimoto's (treated with T4 and T3). My periods have been regular (between 28 and 35 days) since I was 12. However, this month I had my period barely three weeks after the last one. It usually lasts for about 5 days, however today's my 7th day and it doesn't look as if it's going to stop. I've seen my gynecologist twice this august, and all the results were fine.
It's certainly due to overmedication. My endo increased the dosage of my medication 4 months ago. Since then, I tested my TSH and got bad result - 0,1.
She has decreased my dose since, but the result remains the same - 0,1. I'm aware that I need professional help, but I must do something. I can't continue my therapy like this. Any advice on how to decrease the dosage from 50 mg levothyroxine (T3) and 50 mg euthyral (T4 and T3) would save me.

I had a very restless night last night and ended up taking a sleeping tablet in desperation at around 3am... the trouble is I still have the side effects going on the next day 12 /14 hours later, I only take a sleeping pill when all else fails and I have gone well past/beyond the nodding off stage.
On other days, I just sleep a lot of the time and have a trouble staying awake. Goodness only knows what people think one minute I’m too tired the next I’m saying I can’t sleep
Does anybody have any wisdom on this issue of sleeping and not sleeping cycles with CFS/ME.

I have had high blood pressure since 2009. My medication will control it until around my menstrual cycle. I will have horrible headaches that turn into migraines and my blood pressure will jump to 180/110 and stay there for a few days. My doctor stated that it is stress related, but my question is: if it is stress related, why do I just have these horrific headaches and my blood pressure skyrocket just around my menstrual? I can't find the answer. I have researched it and have ask my physician, but no new light has been shed. Does anyone have any information?

Ok so last month my periods were a week later than usual, does this mean my periods will remain late all the time now? Or should they go back to normal?

I've been on 100 mg Nortriptyline for months now for my chronic migraines and one night I felt like I was suffocating so I stopped taking them cold turkey. It's been about a week since I stopped them. Is there any chance it will affect my menstrual cycle? While taking them, it was never at the same time, it was always early or late so I'm not sure what to do.

I've been on my period for about 7 months now. However I've been on my period once before for a entire year. I don't remember when I started or when it stopped, considering remembering things isn't on the top of my to do list. I'm 20 years old and since I started 7 months ago, I've only had one day without a period. Since then, it's been a constant heavy flow.

I've been on my period for 12 days. I've been on birth control for 4 months now and the previous 2 months my period has come a week early, so I've just keep taking the pills as usual (so the first week of my period I was taking the birth control and the second week were placebo pills). This month it was a week and a half early and I'm still having heavy bleeding and clotting. What could be going on and what can I do?

I'm confused about if your pregnant from the sex before or after your last cycle. I had unprotected sex a couple of days before my last cycle so would I be pregnant from that sex or from the sex that was a couple of days after my cycle? ?

I was quite late to start my periods- 16 and they lasted for roughly a year or so very irregular. They went away to costa rica and by the time i returned about 3 months later and i had turned 17 my periods had stopped. I haven't had my periods since, i have however been to the doctors several times, they have taken my blood and seem to have found no symptoms- they just told me they will return soon. One said it was because i was too thin, i am quite slim but no more than some of my friends and i eat a lot. It took quite a bit of effort but recently gained a little weight- i travel quite a bit (asia, south and central America, af) and was wondering if it was possible i have some kind of parasite. I'm 19 almost 20- there must be something up.

I recently went to my doctor because pretty much since I started my period at 14, I've experience really bad cramps. The issue however is not that, my problem is that throughout the month regardless if I am due or not I get period cramps, or what I can only explain as "period cramps" as that is the closest thing it feels like, its defiantly within that region. I was tested for any STD's or ovarian cancer which all came back clear and then sent to hospital for an ultra sound to see if I had ovarian cysts or anything like that, again it all came back clear. I've had regular smear tests as well and I've never had any irregularities. So now I'm really confused and although I guess relieved that its none of the above, I'm now left pretty anxious and confused as I still have no idea what is happening. I've a pretty high pain threshold but these are really uncomfortable and sore and I cant just ignore the issue. I don't get discharge, blood or anything, just a sudden shooting pain in that area and it lasts a couple of seconds, and then goes. It can happen at anytime of the month and I'm really scared at what it is. Anyone have any ideas or experienced the same thing? I just want to put a name to its scary face that i have created!
