Answer:
What if my periods are more frequent than every 21 days?
There are many situations where your period may come more frequently than every 21 days.
People in perimenopause, for example, may experience shorter, more irregular cycles until they reach menopause.
Other factors that may shorten cycle length include:
stress
temporary illness, such as the flu
significant weight changes
hormonal birth control
uterine fibroids
lack of ovulation (anovulation)
Oftentimes, your cycle will resolve on its own.
If you’re still experiencing shorter cycles (having more than one period in a single month), see a doctor after six weeks of irregularity.
They can determine what’s causing your irregularity and advise you on any next steps
What if my periods are further apart than every 35 days?
Menstruating individuals usually begin having a period between ages 9 and 15. The average person experiences at least four periods during their first year of menstruation.
This number will gradually increase with time, with the average adult having at least nine periods a year. This means that some periods may naturally occur more than 35 days apart.
Occasional lateness may also be caused by:
stress
intense exercise
significant weight changes
hormonal birth control
perimenopause
Chronic lateness may be caused by an underlying condition. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), for example, can cause:
irregular periods
excess hair growth on the body
unexpected weight gain
Premature ovarian failure may also cause irregular or occasional periods in menstruating individuals under age 40.
Pregnancy is another possibility. If you’re sexually active, it may be a good idea to take a home pregnancy test.
If you suspect pregnancy or another underlying condition is to blame, make an appointment with a doctor. They can assess your symptoms and advise you on any next steps.
