What are irregular periods?
You have irregular periods if the length of your menstrual cycle (the gap between your periods starting) keeps changing.

Your periods may come early or late.

The average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, although it's normal for it to be a bit shorter or longer than this.

After puberty, many women develop a regular cycle with a similar length of time between periods. But it's not uncommon for it to vary by a few days each time.

Causes
There are many possible causes of irregular periods. Sometimes they may just be normal for you.

Common causes include:

puberty – your periods might be irregular for the first year or two
the start of the menopause (usually between the ages of 45 and 55)
early pregnancy – take a pregnancy test to rule this out
some types of hormonal contraception – such as the contraceptive pill or intrauterine system (IUS)
extreme weight loss or weight gain, excessive exercise or stress
medical conditions – such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or a problem with your thyroid
When to see a GP
You don't need to get medical advice if you have always had slightly irregular periods or you're still going through puberty.

But see a GP if:

your periods suddenly become irregular and you're under 45
you have periods more often than every 21 days or less often than every 35 days
your periods last longer than 7 days
there's a big difference (at least 20 days) between your shortest and longest menstrual cycle
you have irregular periods and you're struggling to get pregnant
There might not be anything wrong, but it's a good idea to get checked out to see what the cause might be.

You might be referred to a specialist called a gynaecologist if you need any tests or treatment.
