Irregular/mimics prego symp? Ladies I need advice?

Question

Hello ladies,

I am 22 and for about 2 years I've had extremely irregular menstrual cycle. I go sometimes a whole 2 months without a period so you imagine my symptoms for pms are yucky. I've tried b.c. but my body rejects the pills and my bf doesn't like the side effects. Sometimes when my body goes through this halt my pms symptoms mimic prego symptoms which of course freaks out my bf even if I reassure him that it's normal for me.

Is there anything I can do at all?

My last period was the beg. of July and my symtoms are as follows:

bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, exhaustion, and slight nausea after I eat. -like I said this is normal this happens any time I skip a period.

Answer 1

Irregular periods can be a sign of a hormone imbalance such as with the thyroid or a condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (an example only).

With hormone imbalances like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome there are other kinds of treatment that are available such as dietary changes and alternative treatments.

I would recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they say.
