I have really irregular periods.... what should I do?
I had my first period on august 23rd of 2012. I would say it was pretty heavy and it lasted about 10 days. I had cramping for the first few days and then for the last 5 days it just slowed down until it stopped. Since then, I have never really had another proper period.
There have been 3 situations in which I have brown and pink discharge, a little blood for like a day, and then more pink discharge for another couple days. Those 3 times are spread out from 3 weeks after my first period to about a month ago.
So I am pretty sure that this counts my period as irregular. What am i supposed to do? Do i need to go on birth control? Talk to my doctor? I'm 15. I heard in my health class today that its unhealthy to have irregular periods. Thats why im asking this question. So...help!?!?!?!

If you have just started your periods for the first time then it is very normal for them to be irregular. It usually takes a couple years for them to become regular. It's just part of puberty. Yes, irregular periods can be a sign of some sort of issue but this is more than likely not the case. You should go to an OBGYN, though. It is important to go once a year and get checked up as soon as you start your period. The doctor may or may not prescribe birth control but that is between you, your doctor, and your parents. Talk to your parents or guardian about it.

Ok, there are various reasons. Ever had unprotected sex? Might be an STD, or just normal. And UNHEALTHY TO HAVE IRREGULAR PERIODS???? where did they hear that from? First period always irregular. It's normal! I had my first period in last late August, and didn't get it ever since!! But I'm still in good standing, I still breath, I would not be worried. And do not worry about birth control. For Petes sake, you are 15!!! Enjoy your teen years, alright? Welcome to woman hood.
