Sounds pretty good since you mentioned you eat healthy and excercise weekly. Generally if your eating and diet are normal and healthy and still experience irregular periods most of the is related to be a hormonal issue. Visit your gynecologist they might do some kinds of testing for hormones and this way you would know more about it. Are you having any other symptoms as well? If your doctor says everything is normal you might want try something called progesterone cream. Many of the times are hormonal matter and progesterone cream can help. Mention this to your doctor as well if you want to try such thing.

Hi Anon,

Write down the length and frequency of your menstrual cycles. According to Merck Manuals, a normal menstrual cycle can be anywhere between 25 to 36 days, depending on the individual. However, some women may have shorter or longer cycles than this. In order to tell if the menstrual cycle is abnormal, keep a written record of each month's cycle, including any changes or events that took place during that time.

Eat healthy and exercise regularly.

Perform stress relieving exercises such as meditation and deep breathing exercises, or undergo hypnotherapy to reduce stress levels.

If you smoke, consider joining a smoking cessation group.

Take Multivitamins

Visit your doctor for a complete examination. The results will show whether a bleeding problem is due to a reproductive disease, a growth or tumor, or something else.

Best Wishes,

Rosa
