Hello, I am 46 years old. For the past 6 months or so my periods have been irregular. Some months my period is every 19, then 33 days, then 46 days, etc. Last month it was 46 days now I have started at 15 days. The flow itself has been normal and lasted 4-5 days. Should I be concerned or can I wait for my pap in May (last pap was May 2008, and last ultrasound August 2007) to talk to my Dr. I do seem to have some insomnia and sweating at night as well.
No, nothing to worry about. Anxiety can cause irregular periods and so does depression because of the hormonal imbalance. But if it makes you feel better speak with your doctor about it. I hope this helps.
High level of stress, dramatic changes in your life style, high cholesterol, hormonal imbalance as seen in thyroid problems and PCOS, chain smoking, may be some of the common causes of your irregular periods. Cushing’s disease and disorders of adrenal gland, tumors of the ovaries and adrenals, insulin resistance and obesity are some of the other factors. Prolonged use of oral contraceptive pills is another cause. Other important local causes of irregular periods are PCOS and fibroid uterus.

Hi my name is Taylen I am 19 years old and I haven't had my periods for over 7 months, I have been to a doctor a month ago and told I wasn't pregnant and to take a blood test but I have anxiety and I am very scared to do so, yesterday I had brown discharge that only lasted one day, I have irregular sleeping pattern and I also have constipation right now. There is also no point in me going to the doctors as she speaks another language and is useless.
Even though low body weight is the most common cause of irregular periods, obesity (obesity effects)also causes various interruptions in your regular menstrual cycle.
If you are a victim of severe emotional stress, then you can possibly experience irregular or missed periods. This is due to the reason that stress will have very serious impact on your reproductive health. So, if at all you experience severe emotional stress, you can obviously suffer with irregular periods.
Once a definite diagnosis is made then appropriated treatment can be initiated. Irregular taking of hormones can complicate matters. Consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation.
Hope this helps. Take care and good luck.
I've heard that when you first start your period, it can be irregular, so that could be why. Also, stress, changes in diet and exercise, and traveling can affect your cycle too. If you're worried, talk to your doctor. Or just give your body time to adjust.
Stress, pregnancy, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, hyperprolactinimea and ovulation dysfunction are few causes of delayed periods. You need evaluation for above mentioned causes in the form of pelvic scan, hormonal assay, serum prolactin levels and thyroid tests. Keep me posted.
Best luck and regards!
I am a average teenager who hasn’t experienced any tragic weight loss/gain, and I’m not too athletic either, (I feel the need to mention these, because I’ve read that those are some causes to irregular periods). My last “sign” of my period was about 3 months ago, and it’s was mostly brown spotting with little specks of red blood (lasted about 10 days), it was so light, that a thin panty liner would have lasted me most of the day.
What are the causes of having irregular period? I haven't had my period for about 6 months. Thank God I have my period now!!! Are there any possibilities in which I can go back to being regular and how?? Thank you so much!

If this was the first episode of irregularity in the periods, then wait for the coming cycle and try lifestyle modification by reducing stress and decreasing cholesterol levels.

Hormonal imbalance is one of the causes of irregular periods as well as infertility.
