Irregular Period Bleeding: Causes & When to Worry


Question
My period is usually pretty regular, in February my period started on the 18th, March it began on the 20th, in April it began on the 15th and in May it began on the 13th, then it started again yesterday, 5/31.  I have never had this happen before.  The bleeding is very light, but darker than usual.  I am not sure if this could be a problem or not...

Thank you,
Erin

Answer
A cycle is considered within normal limits if it is 24-35 days from the start one period until the start of the next one. In February, you had a 31 day cycle. In March you had a 27 day cycle. In April, you had a 29 day cycle. All of your cycles appear to be fine. The last one in May was a bit shorter. I would not do anything at this time, ane keep a record of your bleeding for the next 6 months.
