irregular periods! Help!!

[MsErvin1981]

for the second straight month, my cycle has been off. Last month, I was 5 days late and during those 5 days before I actually started "bleeding", I was cramping real bad and now this month, I was 3 days late and again, I was cramping real bad for days before I actually came on. I'm 26 years old and I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or changes in my life. I don't know what it is. My cycle was 21 days long before it went out of wack last month and it just has me worried. I came on yesterday but now this time, I'm bleeding light but still real bad cramps.I don't know what to do or what's going on.

MsErvin,

Have you always been this way with your cycle?
Perhaps some Midol or some of the other over-the-counter products for cramps and bloating during your period will help you.

I used to have cramps something awful... but now, its the bloating and the water-gain that drives me batty!

If you're really worried about the "irregularity" in your cycle, just see your doctor or ob/gyn. Perhaps they can determine if you need something to regulate your cycle or not.

Take care!
