Hello girls,
I just turned fourteen and I have been having my period about every 9-11 days after my period ends(5-6 days in length) for the past two months. ( I.ve been having my period since I was 11ish and it had stabilized when I was 12ish.) Every period is normal and I do not get bad cramps, but I do get really bad migraines. I also have bad acne and have acne on my back. Is this a hormonal issue? I've also noticed an increased growth in body hair on my body and shaving is becoming very tedious.
I have to go to the doctor about it and I am a little scared. I've never been to this kind of doctor.
If this helps, my Mom has strong hormones and has two sets of twins. I am one twin. Also, one of my little sisters has a thyroid gland disfuncion that doctors are keeping an eye on. I am on a kind of steriod for one of my many medical issues. It is either for acne, allergies, or asthma, I think. Also, I am 5'1'' and weigh 125 pounds. I do have some muscle, but I am overweight.
Thank you in advance!

I am 33. I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome) at the age of 23. Research it and it explains alot.. cysts do go away on their own. With me there really is no tell tale sign that they burst. I have had periods where i would bleed 3 months straight to having them once a month to skipping months to every other week. My sisters have also been diagnosed with the same. Birth control and the meds the docs try to give you really doesnt work. A diabetics diet has been working for me.. hope this helps.

This is most likely the result of a hormonal imbalance. The problem is in many cases birth control will make it worse because it uses synthetic hormones to solve the problem. What you need to do is have your hormone levels tested. You will probably be low on progesterone. I would suggest natural progesterone, as anything that is synthetic will worsen your symptoms.

hi there! i'm also having this issue, but I'm very new to it. I'm 18 and I've been on birth control for 5 months now (Junel 24 fe). first, my periods regulated very quick and were very light and pain free. however, this month, everything went wrong. I got my period Dec. 28th on my second day of the inactive pill, went two days with it on the other inactive pills, and when i was back on the active pill, it went away. therefore, it was 3 days long which isn't normal for me. 2 days before I had sex, but there was no chance of pregnancy (and I took a test). leading up to today (Jan. 9th), I felt very sick and tired and was having a lot of brown discharge, and when I would pee, there would be blood when I would wipe. first I thought it was old blood, which I still think it was, or hormonal imbalance. I went to the doctor for a urine test (no UTI, negative pregnancy), and an internal (which again, nothing was wrong). I am also on levothyroxine, which is a pill for my thyroid gland because I have hyperthyroidism. now, I got my period again. could this be hormonal imbalance, or maybe something else? I'm very confused and stressed about this all, as I have been for the past two weeks.

Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for painful periods. I am a mother of 7 and labor pains were not as bad as my periods. My mom never had such painful periods and didn't take me to the doctor for way too long. There is help available. Regarding a pap, if you aren't sexually active, there's no chance of you having an abnormal paps. Cervical cancer is caused by an STD.

I'm 21 and I've always had irregular periods but they would come at some point of the month I realized my cycle got shorter and I would start my period every two weeks, recently i started getting it every other week....I've been to the doctor and she's recommended I go on the pill for 3 months....I'm nervous and very worried that it may be a bigger issue. I do have a weird feeling in my lower abdomen and slight cramps.
