In like november, it came way late like on the 25 then i got it again in the begining of December. it has been irregular since and then all the sudden i missed May. is this ok or normal? should i talk to my doctor??

Answer

It's 100% normal when you first get your period, you can tend to skip some or have them more often for a couple of years when you're first starting out so them being late isn't a big deal mine were like that and I'm fine so I wouldn't worry too much.

Answer

Periods can be irregular for the first year or so after they start, but as pp said it may be a good idea to check in with your doctor just to be safe (plus you are well over a year in from what your post said). Also, I believe the range for normal cycles is 21-35 days, not 21-28 (28 is the average).

Answer

Dear Confused, to start with you seem to be calculating your cycle on a solar month which is 30 or 31 days. Women cycle is between 21-28 days; depending on each woman, which is more of a lunar cycle. Use Glow calendar for a couple of months to be sure if all is well or it is irregular. You should anyways see a doctor to make sure, but any doctor will ask about previous periods’ dates, so you must keep a calendar to be able to help him/her diagnose. I hope this helps. And do try the Glow calendar, it’s really easy to use. All the best.
