Is there a way to have regular period without using birth control?

Best I know of is to use the Pill. My periods without it are all over the place (I'm almost 32). Many thing affect how regular, or unregular your periods are, such as stress, diet, etc. I take a birth control pill that is LOW estrogen or progeterone only, I forget exactly (it's generic name is Errin), since I want as little "extra" in my body as possible. It' releases just enough without getting me all moody or anything. Asy your gyno...he/ she can be lots of help. BTW, mine is a female gyno, and I swear by her, because not only is she a doctor, but she's also a woman who can offer real life experiences, not just a man reading out of a medical textbook. Hope this helps some. :)

I would defiantly go to the gynecologist! They will probably put you birth control pills to regulate your menstrual cycle. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can. No birth control method is 100% effective!

Once your period has started, I don't think there is a way of stopping it. If you are already on the pill, depending on the pill, and you don't wish to have your period, you just continue taking the pill, instead of stopping for a week or taking the placebos during that pauze. Your period will only appear after stopping or taking the placebos. It is not recommendable to continue taking the pill for a large amount of time.

It is perfectly normal to have irregular periods.  If you have alot of stress it happens, or if you exercise too much, or don't eat properly, or you can be perfectly healthy and its genetic.  Ask your mom if she was that way.  It is slightly possible it is problem like cysts so you should definately talk to your doctor.  She'll be able to figure out if it is a problem or if it is natural for you.  If it really bothers you, you can go on the Pill, which will make your periods lighter and as regular as clockwork (I literally get mine at 9am on the Wednesday they are due!)  So, there's nothing much to worry about since you are young, but talk to your doctor and go on the Pill if it bothers you alot.

Your weight plays a huge part in your period. If you are heavy, a lot of times you can get your period without ovulating. (I know because this happens to me). But this does not mean that you can't get pregnant. Sometimes you will ovulate and not know it- so be careful!!! If you are too thin you stop getting your period all together.   I have been trying to get pregnant and can't, so i went to the doc and they told me I have pcos. Which means basically i will get my period and a lot of times not ovulate. The only thing I can do to help this is to lose a lot of weight. So - yes weight plays a huge part in your period. Plus i don't know how old you are but if you are young- it takes a few years before your periods become regular.

You can skip it with birth control pills, but it's not healthy to go more than 3 months without a period.

Well, if you have low body fat content, that is enough for you to have irregular/no periods.  Generally dancers and athletes have this problem.\n\nSometimes a BCP (Birth Control Pill) prescription is enough to fix this problem, as it regulates your hormones.\n\nBut enjoy the no mess!  It's a rarity that women get to go this long without anything.  But always have something on you, just in case -- you never know when it may start up on you again!

I had endometriosis and had it removed surgically via a laparoscope.  Unfortunately, birth control is hte only way of regulating your period but there are meds you can take to help get a handle on the endometriosis itself.

Periods can fluctuate.  You can also trick yourself into thinking that your pregnant. \n\nDon't worry.  Sometimes your body doesn't take as long for a period as it does on other times.  If you've had some really stressful stuff happen, your body might have cut it short.  \n\nSometimes, when you're consistently having really short or too frequent periods, you're not ovulating.  If you keep having problems talk with your doctor.\n\nHe can give you a prescription for a few days worth of progesterone to jump start your uterus and get it back on track and more regular.  But only bother doing that if you consistently have problems with your period.

I'm not trying to be offensive- at all.\nbut, having a regular- monthly period is natural.\n\nThere are control pills that "advertise" 1 menstrual period every four months.\n\n2 of my friends fell in love with the idea, tried it, and hated it!\n\nit took them, on average, 6 months to get on track.  and while they were only getting one menstrual period every four months, it usually lasted 2 or 3 weeks...\n\nLove your body, and be grateful- it's perfect the way it is!

Without taking a form of hormonal birth control,only time will tell. Gaining weight isn't a healthy option. Maybe try a push up bra instead.

not necessarily since periods can be very irregular. many things can influence your regularity - stress, diet, exercise, sleep patterns etc. if any of those have changed dramatically it can throw your system out of whack. even illness can alter the timing.\n\nhowever, if you are having unprotected sex then, yeah, you could be pregnant. if you still don't have your period in about another week then pick up a home pregnancy test. you can find inexpensive, reliable ones at drug stores, department stores, even some grocery stores. make sure you follow the directions to the letter or you could end up with a false positive or false negative.\n\nif the test comes out positive you'll want to get to a doctor asap to confirm it and discuss your options. planned parenthood is a great place where they can test you and answer all your questions. they operate on a sliding scale, so if you don't have much money then the services are free, or very cheap.

In most cases women who haven't had their period (not b/c of pregnancy) are usually just stressed out. It should come naturally. In the mean time just try to relax and do things that make you feel good. Good luck!

hi, i think you meant  you were diagnosed w/ PCOS. there is no cure for this syndrome. you will never have regular periods, and you should get the book called - PCOS: the hidden epidemic to learn more about it. also, search for "insuline resistance" which is linked to causing PCOS and learn more about that. I also have this problem, and it's something VERY serious. could cause many problems, i.e. fertility problems, diabetes etc. so please, read up on it, and start taking care of yourself NOW.

Do you mean how to make it not happen as soon?\nBirth control pills, if you don't take the placebo pills, you won't get your period till the next cycle.
