I'm 24 years old... I get my period every 3-4 months, NOT every month like most woman. When it does come.. it stays for about 2-3 weeks.. (quite heavily). In the past I've seen my doctor, she assured me that it's normal... but I can't help but worry about it.. I plan to have kids in the near future.... and am afraid I might not be able to have any?? Is there anybody out there w/ this same menstrual cycle??

Hi MissVanGirl,

I just wanted to say I have the same problem as you. I get my period every 3 months or so - My periods have always been very irregular (apart from when I was on the pill- which I came off almost a year a go). I went to see the doctor who sent me for an ultra sound to check for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (POS)- but the results showed that everything was normal. Since then doctors have told me that it's a mystery and thats just the way it is for me. Which is fine until you decide to try for a baby - which my husband and I have just started to do. I am concerned that it is going to be harder for me to get pregnant - but I guess I shouldn't worry about it until we've tried. If I am still not pregnant after 6-9 months after trying then I will start to worry up till then the only thing to do is relax and see how it goes.

I think you should go and get yourself checked for POS - If this is the reason for your irregular periods then doctors can help you sort it out (with tablets - I think) if not then just carry on as normal.

Sorry I can't be anymore help -
