Common Questions and Answers about Irregular menstrual cycle after pregnancy
menstrual-cycle
I had to keep getting my blood treated every week after because to see if my pregnancy hormones went away. Every since then i have been having irregular cycles. Now in 2013, it has been 3 or 4 months since I had my period. When I went to my doctors appointment last week they ran a pregnancy test and it came out to be negative. But this past week I have been spotting and when I take a shower small little blood clots come out. So I'm wondering what is wrong with me?????
Hello,
Menstrual cycles are considered normal from 21 to 35 days. However stress can also make periods irregular. Other causes of irregular periods could be due to hormonal imbalance, stress, chronic illness, polycystic ovarian disease, thyroid gland disorders or diseases, pituitary gland tumors or cyst, galactorrhea, prolactinomas etc.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
My last cycle was July 6 2012.
My wife has been experiencing irregular menstrual cycle for the last 06 months. She is 34 year old.
After having checked with doctor and subsequent test, she found thyroid problem.
She started taking medicines as per dr prescription for the last 5 days.
She was expecting her periods on Dec 20 this time but she started light spoting from Jan 03. After 03 - 04 days she started heavy bleeding with medium size blood clots.
I am worried and seek advise.
Thanks & Regards.
Hello,
There is nothing wrong with you. The normal menstrual cycle lasts between 21 and 35 days. If you have delayed periods then pregnancy needs to be ruled out.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Marshkash,if you are experiencing monthly period. That is a regular cycle! Even if its a late or earlier date!
My menstrual cycle is extremely irregular. I had constant flow for about 2.5 months, Januay-March. I had a regular period in early April and have not had one since. My husband and I are trying to conceive baby #2, our son is 1 year old. We have not had any luck conceiving, which is frustrating because we've been trying since our son was about 3 weeks old.
your menstrual cycle just changed and thats not normal. i have a friend who havent had her period 6months straight. and she is healthy. so no worries for you. your are IRREGULAR when it comes to your period. unlike me, im regular, never skipped a month. regardless of giving birth. the cramps thing, just excercise or do sit ups 2weeks or a week before tour period. if you dont know when your period will arrive, just do brisk walking or cardio excercises. :D
hope this helps.
It is not uncommon at your age for menstrual periods to be irregular, so I would wait up to about 6 weeks before being too concerned. If you continue to have irregular periods, you may need to consult with your doctor--it is possible that you could have polycystic ovary syndrome which is a catch-all term for a hormonal imbalance that causes irregular periods. Often irregular periods are treated with contraceptive pills to regulate the cycles.
Hope this helps!
Progesterone causes the lining to stop growing and prepare for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, then menstruation occurs. In your case, you are not ovulating regularly due to a hormone imbalance ( commonly known as PCOS) and the lining just keeps growing because there is no progesterone to stop it. Eventually it gets so thick that it collapses and you bleed heavily and/or continually.
