Help! Why is my 'time of the month' always so irregular?

I would go see a gynecologist. In the beginning, periods can be irregular while your body gets used to ovulating. There is something that your GYN will probably test for called PCOS. Polycystic ovary syndrome. Basically this means that your body isn't ovulating at all, or at very irregular intervals. If you aren't ovulating at all, your uterus prepares for an egg, and keeps waiting until it is "full" and then you'll appear to have a period when it is tired of waiting for an egg to show up. Birth control pills will regulate and lighten your cycle. If you're not interested in birth control, your GYN will probably recommend that you have at least 4 periods a year and will prescribe hormones to induce a period every now and then. If you don't shed the endometrial lining every now and then, you'll increase your risk for things like cancer. If it is PCOS, you'll need to talk to fertility specialists to induce ovulation if you're interested in making babies. Of course . . . . this is just one thing that your problem could be caused by. I'm not a physician, and don't know your health status, so go to the GYN to get it checked out.

A few questions:\n\n1. Have you corrected the time?  If you have, does it reset to the incorrect time when you reboot?  \n\n2. Do you have the correct time zone set?  If not, the minutes will be correct, but hours will always be wrong, because Windows automatically synchronizes the time based on the time zone YOU give it.\n\n3. Is the computer connected to a network?  Some Netware networks will override the time setting on the computer.\n\nEven if the CMOS battery is bad, Windows should automatically set the time when it contacts a time server.

well hun as above have said...ur period is at intervals of 28 days...normally they come on the (or around) same date each month...to be irregular means the dates get changed and u get them later or earlier than ur normal date.... if this happens its sometimes due to change in diet, stress, weight loss, weight gain, all these reasons are enough to be looked at by ur gp, some women bleed for the normal 5 days or so but as past experiences with myself show...ive had mine for up to 2 weeks, for which i seen gp wisely, and sometimes i dont get mine every month....sometimes twice in a month....is all up to ur own body clock hun and no 2 women ever have same pattern....if u have any concern pls see ur gp and remember we get periods for a reason....never ignore the signs of problems or when it comes time to have children u might have found the problems get worse....the pill or implant can help regulate ur periods so ask ur gp... hope this has helped... tc... : )

Irregularity is normal if you just starting. If you've had it for a few years it could be stress or  change in eating, sleeping or exercise patterns. If it doesn't come soon and you are still worried talk to a trusted adult. She can take you to the Dr. or be with you when you call. Probably nothing to worry about. Just your body adjusting to all the changes it is going through!

Your period is probably just being irregular. At 17 your body hasn't completely worked out all of the kinks that come along with periods, and yeah, you'll occasionally be late or skip a month. It could also be related to stress or being sick (if you have been recently). I wouldn't worry about it.\n\nHowever, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to a gynecologist anyways and get checked out, and maybe put on birth control if irregular periods are a problem.

I assume you're asking what it means when you get your period twice in one month, correct?  You're probably irregular which in itself is not abnormal but if you find you are bleeding very heavily you may want to see your doctor to ensure your body isn't having any problems.  My cycles were extremely irregular way into my 20s.  It wasn't until I had children that my periods became as regular as clockwork.

Remember, our bodies are not machines that work exactly the same way every month.  No one is exactly perfectly every 28 days all the time - I have had a few times where I didn't have a period one month and I wasn't pregnant, then the next month there is was again.\nAnd sometimes 2 in one month (our bodies don't know how to read a calendar, so what is a month on paper isn't necessarily a month in our systems with hormones, stress, diet, and so many other things affecting everything about us.

You have your time zone settings set to a zone an hour behind yours.... its not the daylight savings times options fault.\n\nMy guess you have set your clock to a zone that matches your time zone whilst daylight savings was in operation, such as GMT... now summer is over it has automatically taken the hour off, as it should, which as revealed the  time zone error.\n\njust double click your clock and the clock configuration box will open. go to the time zone and check that the correct zone is selected. \n\nIf it still does it, you may requesting the time from the wrong server.. you can adjust this on the internet time tab.  as long as the time zone is set correct, it trial and error to choose the correct server.\n\nif this still does not resolve it.. you can work around it by simply setting a time zone that is one hour ahead of yours... which would give you the correct time.\n\nRemember if you are successful and find the correct zone and the clock works ok..... and then it gets to summer and it automatically goes ahead one hour, and you are not in an area that does that... just uncheck the daylight savings box in the zone settings tab.\n\nGood luck!

You've likely changed you time-zone, so it is automatically changing each time it links up to the time-server to check.\n\nTwo options:\nFirst double click on the clock in the taskbar.\n*Now you can either disable the time-syncing feature on the "internet time tab", then rest to the correct time, or...\n*You can correct you time-zone on the "time zone" tab.\n\nEither solution should set you straight :)

It could be a hormonal imbalance, but it could be fine.  Sometimes, when you are really stressed out or busy or not eating/sleeping/etc well enough, your ovulation will be delayed.  So, try to think back to the time right after your last period (before this one).  If you were traveling a lot, or dealing with a lot of stressful stuff, maybe that's the reason.  I would say, just wait a few months and as long as you get back on a mostly normal schedule, don't worry about it.

Organising time can be a problem i guess for some people. \nI am just one of those organised persons..  budget and time management. \n\nAlthough i have also realised that just sometimes..  Nothing will go according to plan.. and as long as you don't let that overwhelm you and just go with the flow now and then...  It will make your day go better rather than fighting it to fit into what you have planned. \n\neat right, sleep right,  keep an open mind.. don't forget to be you and only you now and then...  \nand smile.

Just irregularity most likely.  Its very common in the late twenties on up.

If you're having irregular periods, that could be a hormonal imbalance.  Every woman's cycle is different, so there's really no specific answer that can be given as to when you should take the pregnancy test...especially if you have irregular periods.  Your best bet would be to talk to your primary care doctor or ob/gyn.  They will ask you all of the appropriate questions to decide the course of action.  If you find that you're not pregnant...be careful an use protection to avoid these scares.
