I used to bleed for months on end with mine and then skip for just as long. Is this your first menstrual cycle, or have you had any previously before this? And are you sexually active?

s potentially fertile days have been based on two assumptions—that ovulation occurs 14 days before the next menses and that women are fertile for several days before and after ovulation.15 It follows that in the usual menstrual cycle lasting 28 days, the fertile days would fall between days 10 and 17.15 The assumptions are, however, outdated. Firstly, only a small percentage of women ovulate exactly 14 days before the onset of menses.

My cycle is usually every 30 to 34 days with my period lasting about 7 days. My last period ended April 27th. Can someone please tell me when my ovulation occurs and when I am highly fertile. Thanks!

You count the length of your cycle from the first day of your last period to the first day of your next period. The length of your mentration does not calculate. Once you know the average length of your cycle, you can find out when you are supposed to O.

I thought after you got ones levels into range the menstrual cycle was supposed to normalize. I have had about 3 50 day cycles since I was diagnosed and started meds. Before my cycles were 37, 49, 34, stopped taking birth control in mid October. Was just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal for a women with hypothyroidism?

yes, the 24th was the first day. I don't know how long your cycle is but every now and then they change. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. It happens to everyone.

I'm 42 and starting to get worried about this long cycle that seems to be getting a bit heavier instead of lighter. On 7/14 I started my cycle which was nothing unusual but here I am still on it almost 11 days later. Peri menopause? The blood is not heavy or light, sort of what it's usually like mid cycle and it's bright red. Around day 7 it seemed to be letting up a bit but now it seems to be getting a tiny bit heavier every day, not heavy just heavier.

The past 2 months my menstrual has lasted longer than 5 days my normal menstrual days . I am now lasting last month 1 week and this month 2 weeks . Would anyone know what might be the cause ?

I'm a 31 year old mother of 4 boys ages 13 11 8 & 3. My menstrual cycle has never been the typical "28 day cycle". Even birth control made it worse at times. I decided last year in October to get off birth control because I didn't like the effects it had on my body. Once off the birth control I didn't have a menstrual cycle until March. Since then my cycle has lasted for two weeks at a time sometimes more. This month I've been on it for 30 days. And heavy!

Hi, I'm 17, and a female so it's easy for me to relate to where your at. Though I don't have this particular problem, I know a couple girlfriends do. Usually most girls agree that it takes a while to develope a regular cycle. I got my period at 10 and I didn't develope a regular cycle until I was atleast 14, so this isn't too unordinary. Anyways, so you could just suffer though it until your hormones kinda regulate.

is it normal to feel like i'm going to faint while i'm on my menstrual cycle? i took 65mg of iron but i still feel a bit dizzy. is there something else i could take or eat to make me feel better?

Menorrhagia is defined as heavy menstrual bleeding lasting for more than seven days, and it sounds like you are having very light bleeding lasting for up to 14 days. Your doctor will ask you many questions regarding your personal and family history, and it will be helpful for him/her if you can keep a careful record of your monthly bleeding patterns including how many pads/tampons you are using each day.

You may be having a long cycle resulting in a later period and this is spotting beforehand. That has happened to me. While pregnancy 'could' happen, it is less likely in the mid to late 40's. Have you had a pelvic exam any time recently?

I have the same problems that you do or did with my cycle. I’ve been ignoring my abnormal cycle for a year already. I was just thinking that my body was starting to go through the change & it was like a Big Bang period blowout. But it still hasn’t stopped flowing. I will wake up drenched & my bed & bedding ruined every month atleast once. (My bed is peroxide drunk & I don’t think my bed can handle anymore peroxide.

I was wondering if I should be concerned about my menstrual cycle. For the past two months I have had 2 day light menstrual cycle and before that period I spotted for two weeks straight until my period. I was wondering if this should be something I should be concerned about and yes I am sexually active and not on any birth control.My periods are normally 4-5 days and changed last year.
