Hi S.S.,

Although it is more typical in teens than it is in adults, irregular periods are more common than we think. Usually it may start to regulate in the mid twenties for someone who has had irregular periods during their teen years. However, there are a few things you can do: You can ask for medication, sometimes something called Provera is prescribed to help induce your period. But to look into the underlying problem, you can go back to your doctor and ask for some tests to identify why your periods have recently been so irregular. You can ask for a complete physical exam, ultrasound of your ovaries, etc. Just to make sure that everything looks right.

Keep us posted!

Hi S.S.,

There is no specific food that will induce your period, however maintaining a healthy balanced diet by eating fruits, vegetables, proteins, carbs, etc. and breaking your meals down into 5 or 6 meals a day can certainly help keep you regular. If you would like some help inducing your period you can visit your doctor and s/he will prescribe something to help regulate your period.

Hi S.S.,

Thanks for your post! There are many reasons why your period could be considered late. Some include: stress, weight gain, weight loss, illness, menopause, etc. I have gone into more detail in this post: https://www.empowher.com/community/ask/3-weeks-late-period3-negetive-hptsno-thyroid-problemno-pregnancy-symptom
