Irregular and infrequent periods
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 4:26 pm
I am 17. I had my first period when I was 13. My periods are extremely irregular and infrequent with the time interval between menstruation periods varying between 2 and 9 months. In the last 4 years I have only had 12 periods.
I have a BMI in the healthy range at about 22.5, I see no corralation between stress or anxiety levels and the liklihood of having a period and there is zero possability that I am pregnant. My mother told me that it can take time for a cycle to settle, but from what I have heard, it usually only takes up to 2 years and the fluctuation in time differences seems to be lower than in my case.
What else could cause irregular periods? Could this affect my fertility in the future?
