I’m just turning about 18 year old But i have very very irregular periods Even it missed for 4 or 5 month until I don’t do home remedy it late I’m now having so much irregular periods I stress again because of this issue
I just want to say your videos are amazing, and you are equipping young women with so much important information that we're never given in school. You're videos have helped me greatly to understand what's going on with my body so I can seek the care I need. So thank you!
@@NatalieCrawfordMD Hello! I wanted to ask a question regarding my hormones. When my blood was drawed, my doctor said my estrogen levels are low so that is why my period is not coming. They gave me Estradiol pills to take for 21 days followed up with 7 days of progesterone pills. I just wanted your view on this. Would you recommend this or is there other natural ways for me to increase my estrogen levels.
Thank you for this video it’s really help me understand my body more clearly ❤ I pray everything works out to those who are also struggling with irregular period
I am 39 and my period has changed in the last year. It went from a 4-5 days normal bleeding to 2-3 days normal bleeding then in the last two months 2 days very light !
My periods were really, really regular for 7 years!! Ever since I got my first period they have been extremely predictable in terms of when it comes on and how long they last… but recently… since about October of 2022 my periods have gone out of Wack!! I can’t think of a single thing I could’ve done to cause this… no weight gain or loss… no change in diet, no change in exercise routine. I have done NOTHING to cause my irregular periods! Since October my period was missing for about two months and then it suddenly came on… it was an extremely heavy and long period! I bled non stop for about a month and a half and became severely anemic. After that episode my period returned back to normal and was relatively on schedule for like 4-5 months and now I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. My period has been 18 days overdue and I am TERRIFIED. I have no idea what is going on. I am not sexually active, I’m not on any contraceptives or medications except for migraine medicines and vitamins. What on earth is going on???
Could be environmental stress. Same with me after pandemic cycles haven’t been same. And if your younger than 25 periods can be out of wack. Or may want to get complete blood count. Not an Ob but was just sharing my experience as a 29 year old who is not on BC or haven’t been pregnant lol
@@mairagutierrez8990me too ever since the Covid vaccine messed my menstrual cycle . I had a consistent 28 day cycle and since the vaccine it went whacked.
NGL this makes me a little upset that my GYNO laughed at me when I said I consider my period a vital sign which is why i wanted non-hormonal BC options.
I got my period when i was 12 . My period was regular but when i became 14 it started to bleed irregularly. First i started to get period for about 2 to 3 month with no gaps and heavy bleeding but when i was 15 i started to have no period about 2 to 3 months . Now I'm 16 and gonna be 17 soon in this two years i mean 15 to 17 age I'm getting my period irregularly as it comes once or twice in a month with little amount of bleeding. I've got so many checkups but my doctor always says that i don't have any problem. I just want to get rid of this and enjoy my regular period.
I got off BC pills this Jan after I completed my packet after 27.5 yrs at age 45. Took 3 months until I got a period. The following month got a period 1 week late, this month May I got my period and 2 wks later got another period. I am definitely adjusting. Trying to see what my new normal is, turn 46 in June. Sigh……
You were on bc for 27.5 years?! Wow 😯 and I thought me being on the pill for 15 years was a long time! Why did you decide to get off of it? I was told you can be on it until you hit menopause.
Yeah it took 3 months for me as well, but I looked it up before hand, so I knew that it was normal, but then 6 months later I was late 10 days (no sexual activity), and then 2 months after that I had it twice in one month. Now I'm good I'm between 28-31 days. I'm 42.
@worldtraveleroxoxo1201 I was on the pill for almost 23 years. I left it this year 22 may 2024. And then on the 5th July I got my period non stop and it paused for about 2 days and then continue again up to now. I just went for hormonal test today. Just to check if I am peri or menopause.
@@mandyarchery3780 you can’t be menopause yet because you cannot have a period for 12 months. Most women are perimenopausal Or premenopausal 5-10 years “before” menopause. Now I am 47 and now all the low back of my head hair has gotten kinky and the back of my hair is no longer dense it is sparse. I have tons of hair fall in the shower it’s crazy.
12:08 could you talk more about this in your future videos? I am in my early 30s and have PCOS, no abnormal hormone levels based on labs or visible acne or weight problems (normal BMI whole life)--just irregular cycles and multiple peripheral follicles on ultrasound. Also not trying to conceive. I am having trouble finding information on the next steps for people like me who have PCOS without major immediate implications (no acne, no weight problems, not TTC) but with concerned about long-term complications (uterine cancer, diabetes). Thank you for your videos, always. It is so important to increase access to accurate health information, especially when there are many systems that so stubbornly limit it
This information is very helpful, but it is easy to feel a little lost in all the information. Any chance you could have more visual diagrams as you explain certain things? :)
I'm seventeen, and ever since I first got my period at eleven, my periods have been somewhat irregular. However, it got a lot worse near the end of middle school. Now, i've gone a full 4 months without bleeding more than once My doctor suggested that I increase my iron intake, but other people advise against it. I'm not on birth control, and am still a virgin. I really think stress might be the main factor, but I'm reluctant to visit a hospital if its really something that can maybe be resolved without medication or treatment.
I’m getting really upset because I have been going to the doctor for the past 6 years trying to get pregnant and I just haven’t been able to get them to tell me anything is even wrong with me.
My period use to come within 2-3 days and rarely past day 28. Now it’s anywhere between day 25 and 32. It’s driving me insane. The only thing that feels reliable is one month is early and the next it’s late. I also always ovulate consistently before day 10. I’m just told it’s still in the normal base line and it’s fine.😅
I have pcos, I get my period every month, cycle timeline changes per month but I get my period. How can we figure out if I’m menstruating without ovulation? If ovulation strips can barely determine that
I know this question is pretty late, but my periods have been irregular for years, with large ovarian cysts during extremely stressful moments in my life (to count, it's been only two so far, thankfully). My progesterone levels are low as far as I understand but given that I am only 22 and not trying to convince, various gynecologists don't want to try medication as they don't think it's a good idea (which I understand). I have also had social anxiety for most of my life and therefore am stressed often and easily. Could my anxiety be a factor contributing to my irregular periods and low progesterone?
Can you please do a video elaborating on pituitary issues? I’m curious about low fsh and LH levels monthly and the possibility of hypopituitarism or a hpa-axis dysfunction. I’m wondering what the treatment around these is like. Thank you!
Actually it's been 2 months since my menstrual circle is disturbed...and is about 33 to 35 days long...and it's been always about 28 days long !! Is it something to worry about? Can anyone guide me plz 😭 I'm actually stressed
Hy everyone So basically its my first year of periods first 3 months everything was quite regular but after that I have a period after every 8 or 10 days I am 14 and class 9 student and I am so worried my every period is so long my last period started on 19 and today its 30 but it is still going😑😑😑
Hi dokter! 5 years ago I had an ectopic pregnancy and I had to get a surgery because I was bleeding internally. After the surgery they told me I lost my right ovary. Since then I’ve had one ovary . I have 2 children now. After my son in 2021 I got an iud because I did not want any children. 3 Month’s ago I decided I did not want hormones in my body so i got it removed by my doctor. Now ive had every 24-26 days a period also this Month when I was supposed to ovulate I got another period on my predicted ovulation day.. which I dont understand why this happend. I bled for 5 days . Im now having lower left backpain… Im very worried because my periods were always every 29 days exactly.. Btw Im from Holland watching your video❤
Hi! I love your channel! Thanks for the info! Advice needed- my husband and I are trying. I am 31 years old and came off birth control about 4 months ago. (Nexplanon) I had 3 perfectly timed periods. Same date and time each month, lasted for 3 days. Then I skipped one. I took 2 pregnancy tests and they were both negative. I finally got it 3 days ago, but it was 7 weeks late. What could cause that? Thanks so much! Xoxo ❤
My period is been incredibly light ever since June of last year ( except October where is did come normally) I'm not sure why . I did all the test. Went the the Endocrinologist and everything came out normal. It's starting to worry me that no one knows what's wrong. I did a uterus ultrasound too and that came out to be normal.
i am 14 years old. i got my first ever period on June 20, 2023 and it lasted for 10 days with very light bleeding. i didnt get my period after that for 8 month i just got it 21 february 2024 at the first day it was regular bleeding yesterday(the second day) it was more bleeding and today there is just littraly one small brown spot and i think it finished
Hi doctor, i'm a teenager and my periods have been normal before... But when i noticed i have been missing some months of periods and date is not predictable to me, so my mom told me to install a period stimulation app, and the stats in it shows that my period cycle is irregular from MAY 19/2023(the day i downloaded the app if i'm right) to FEB 22/2024,the app says that my cycle length from MAY 19/23 to FEB 22/24 is about 34-50 cycle and it is irregular. I had missid 2 or 3 months period from the date i had mentioned above... And my period length from MAY 19/23 to FEB 22/24 was about 7-8 days and the app says it is abnormal. Sometimes i get back aches, mood swings, and tiredness 1 week before i get my period. I have this abnormal sleeping shedule as i'm a board student it is difficult to sleep normal and eat... 🏃♀️ i'm a vegan and my body is tired all day. My BMI is normal. Even the app can't predict my period correctly, i think it's because of these irregular dates, at first i thoght that it is the app's lack development that it can't predict correctly then i changed the app and gave the dates of my periods from the previous app to the new one. doctor... I don't know what to do.. Is it going to be ok? What can i do to make it normal?
just found out i dont have PCOS. Love being AN ABNORMAL LADY because i had irregular periods right after i got them AND WENT ON BIRTH CONTROL PILLS RIGHT AWAY. i Thankfully have never been real domesticated in nature like my mom. shes very COMFORTABLE with cooking gourmet meals AND CHANGING POOPEY DIAPERS AS WELL AS HAVING A CAREER AS A SOCIAL WORKER AND TEACHER. I DONT PLAN ON EVER HAVING KIDS IM NOW 21 AND OUT OF COLLEGE. IM VERY CONFIDENT IN MY CHOICE. MY BOYFRIEND AGREES WITH ME ON THIS TOO.HE HAS A JOB AND IS THE BREADWINNER. WHEN HES NOT WORKING WE JUST CHILL AND WATCH TV. ALSO WE SHOP TILL WE DROP. WE HAVE ALOT OF NICE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BOUGHT FOR OUR APARTMENT.
I'm almost 37. My cycles range like this: 29, 33, 29, 31, etc, but my periods only seem to have 2 medium days and 3-4 light to spotting days, and it seems it could or could not be normal, but we are TTC, and after 3 months we still haven't hit it, even when being intimate 2-3 times a week every week outside of period week. We have ALWAYS gotten pregnant right away, even our last baby was conceived from a day where my chances of getting pregnant were only 35%. It's makes me very sad that we are trying for just ONE more and we are having so much trouble. Any suggestions or thoughts?
Mine was regular FOREVER, even coming off the pill after many years early last year. After my recent miscarriage though it is so off and so is my ovulation. Don't know how to get it back to normal..
This is so helpful. What about POI? Is HRT the gold standard? I’m offered BC but would like to keep my period as a vital sign. If I opt for HRT over BC, will my period still be a vital sign? Thank you so much!
I got my Nexplanon removed on March 7th. Had my first period on 4/14 and then again on 5/8 and then another one 2 weeks later on 5/26. Is that normal with coming off the Nexplanon? I had the implant for a total of 5 years (was on my second one when I removed it). Thanks.
Natalie please help: I am 40 1/2 years old and I am missing my first period. When my last period ended I began to have hot flashes almost the entire cycle. Hot flushers did stop but no period. I did go see my OBGYN but because it's not been more than 3 months with missing a period, nothing really can be done. But I am worried about what is happening. I always had a regular period, no matter what stress I went through. And now for the first time ever I am missing a period. We are trying for a baby but my blood draw is negative for pregnancy. Thyroid function is normal. My last period was on 9/19. Please help. As well, I had my FSH blood drawn and it is low as I would need IVF to become pregnant. Is it still possible for me to get pregnant naturally? We been trying for about a year and a half. I had miscarriege last January. Please give me some advice. Thank you.
Hello! I wanted to ask a question regarding my hormones. When my blood was drawed, my doctor said my estrogen levels are low so that is why my period is not coming.

I haven’t had a period in almost 6 years. I started my period at 10 years old and they went away at 14 years old. I was told I was fat and needed to lost weight when I was 19. I wasn’t this weight when they went away and I haven’t had one since. They said pcos but I don’t think it is cause testosterone wasn’t very high. Please let me know
I got my period when I was 11 Since then, it has been irregular and I fear that I will become infertile I hate myself because of it. I'm afraid to date someone I don't know how to explain this ,I went to doctors who always gave me birth control pills I'm really tired of it 💔
I moved to Canada 3 months back but my periods were perfectly normal and regular but its been 2 months I didn’t get my periods 🥲🥲i am so so stressed i can’t even explain. Please tell me what should i do.
Hi, what would you say about regular periods that only last 2 days and are extremely light ( first day normal.. 2nd day very light and then spotting the 3rd day) Thanks, would love to hear back
I been researching past three months since I’ve been having long prolonged periods out of no where … I haven’t had my IUD for almost two years now and ever since I got it out my body been out of whack and I started having cyst on my ovary of 10cm and it went away by eating healthy than I went back to my old ways and now I heard o have a 4cm cyst opposite side of my ovary and now irregular bleeding and found out more awful results 😢😢😢 so now I’m going to be getting two surgeries this coming week and I pray I can recover fast and heal and be able to conceive one more healthy child
Dr. Crawford, PLEASE ADVISE 😞 My period became very heavy after miscarriage 21 months ago. Every month is heavy, also became longer. I get my period every month between 28-30 day cycles. No fibroids or pollyps found. Haven’t been able to conceive since miscarriage. 4 doctors later and none have found any issues with me. Last Dr recommended IVF. I truly feel like my period is telling me somethingis wrong. What would you suggest I have checked next?
I experience the same, i had 7 weeks miscarriages. Before miscarriages, My cycle are 28-30 days. But after miscarriage my cycle are 33-35 days. I consult with 2 obgyn doctor, they said it seems normal. But I'm scared. My weight is ideal weight 19 (IMT)
My periods untill past 3 months were regular but now after we started planning for a baby, it's going irregular.... After the intercourse, exactly after a week, i get my right abdomen cramps and then after 2 days, i get left abdomen cramps and after 2 days i get cramps in the middle of the abdomen...all this continues untill my period is expected.....but my period will be postponed 2-3days. I just dont understand this at all...can somebody tell if you know anything ....its so diffcult to get an appointment at my place.....i didn had any contraceptive pills anytime too
I appreciate the focus on natural remedies in this discussion. For those seeking gentle alternatives to manage menstrual pain and irregular bleeding, Planet Ayurveda's products are definitely worth considering.
Im spotting now which is weird cuz my period are usually near the ending of the month. Ive never been regular, theyve always been a few days off. But i hurt my back lifting something 2 days ago, so i got scared that im bleeding to death idk. Will update if im wrong.
Hello doc, i just started my period earlier than i should i just had my period 15 days ago, now im on my period again and i had brown spotting 2 days ago (never had this before) blood color is darker than usual also so what does that mean? Im so worried 🥺
So Im 14 years old and I actually got my first period when I was 13 in like march, so this is all a little overwhelming and confusing to me. The thing is tho fast forward to the present, Its October 27th today and I got my period, tho my last period started on October 1st and ended on the 17th. Im not sure whats going on and what to expect. Any advice?
Hey Dr Crawford! I was just prescribed tamoxifen for ovulation due to really bad symptoms on letrozole. I noticed that there’s not as much information on this medication for PCOS or infertility in general online. Can you do a video on symptoms to watch out for while on fertility medications and one on what tamoxifen does? I really appreciated your video where you explained clomid and letrozole.
Just curious what were your really bad symptoms on letrozole? I’m currently taking and I have really bad headache/ fatigue. Wasn’t a fan of clomid either.
@@worldtravelerxoxo1201 I ,like you, had really bad fatigue. I had migraines in the past but they had mostly cleared up until I started taking it. While on letrozole they became overwhelming and much more frequent, taking days from the onset of symptoms to the end of mental fog. Plus my vision was blurry at times and I developed ovarian cysts that ruptured two months in a row. Both times I was in pain for about a day, I couldn’t walk or move and I had to be cared for by husband.
Hello doctor , I'm Zarra and I barely have my period and at the age of 30 my period kind a bleeding and none at all 4 days ago my underwear have brown spot and few days later my period look like a balloon fill with blood and I saw couple of blood clogs like it's burst a lot and I curious what wrong with me , I barely got my period and I'm used to taken medication during high-school then I have it and after that for 7 I have taken medication like when I'm 13 I don't got it but 14 I got it when I took my medication and now I'm a grown women my period its unstable
I’ve been trying to get pregnant, got pregnant first try and then had a partial molar pregnancy, have been cleared and have tried last two months no luck, saw my fertility spect and explained I’ve had irregular periods for years but I’ve had laparoscopy, ultrasounds and all the bloods and she says everything is fine even though I seem to have a short luteal phase so it’s very confusing, she wants to try two months of clomid and see what happens but frustrating there’s no reason for the irregular periods
After I had my second baby my period is messed up. I have it one month then miss the next month and then get it the next month. Is it anything to worry about?
hey I have a request can you do a video where like say some women get there. And then say they missed it for like 3 months and then finally start because example stress what to do if it doesn't start after the 3 months
Provera is given to jump start your period. But you have to take a pregnancy test first at the doctors to make sure your aren’t pregnant. Because provera can cause severe birth defects. I was going to take it but then boom 💥 started my period now my natural cycle is 42-45 days.
Can someone tell me what this means? I first got my period november 2022 when i was in yr 7 i next got it in 2023 i dont remember what month then i got it in 2024 (this year) idk what month then i got it tuesday it was just spotting wednesday no blood no symptoms then today there was some bleeding when i went toilet but thats about it so what does that mean
I get 4 periods a year - and this has only just started regulating for me. I went travelling and got 2 in 2 months in a row. I think I was over exercising and restricting food to just high protein which messed up my hormones, trying to listen to my body hoping to regulate more :( when I travelled I had no choice but to eat and not exercise but Im back home and already back in the gym everyday :( has anyone got any advice
@@darnitthelma4247 I know it’s not normal I definitley did it to myself though :( but just happy I don’t have to take a hormone tablet anymore. I wanna regulate properly but it’s hard :(
Hello Dr Crawford i been having irregular periods and i been trying to conceive but i been unsuccessful i been thinking about seeking ivf but im not sure how to go about it.
Definitely something to talk to your OBGYN about - they should be able to refer you to a fertility clinic. Or you can always go straight to a fertility doctor. Wishing you the best!
Good Day Doctor. I had Hysteroscopy for Asherman Syndrome 2months ago.(13/6/2023) My symtoms was scanty and dark periods following a myomectomy which was done 12 months ago (3/6/2022). The problem was, I am finding it difficult to concieve. After the surgery. 1)A ballon stent was inserted in my uterus for 2 weeks. 2)I was given oral contraceptive pills to take for 3months. Fortunately my next period was normal(the right period color and the heavier periods). My question is when should i start TTC? I am 32years old living with secondary infertility.
Can someone please tell me why ive been on my period for 3 weeks wit no pain at all im 16 and this is the first time this has happened to me and im scared
best to book in with the doctor, my period started to get messed up a few months before i turned 16 and i was just immediately put on birth control and now i’m 18 and still on it, hopefully they don’t do that to you but if they want to i’d suggest fighting for an explanation or a better investigation!
Honestly, I'd mention it to your mom or dad so they can make an appointment for you to see a doctor. This much bleeding for that long could cause anemia, which is a really understated diagnosis. I'm chronically anemic and if I miss my iron supplement I crash and burn
@@jocelynprior1874hi. I have same problem as she mentioned, I have irregular and bleeding since june! doctor suggested us birth control but we refused because of side effects. after this much bleeding I’m not anemic and my blood level is normal tho
Hi im ttc for morethan a year. how to calculate ovulation if you have irregular cycle every month? is it base on the last cycle? i got my blood test and ultrasound done and all results are good,my OB just told me to take pregnacare conception.
Never been on a contraceptive .. my periods are soooo irregular . This last one in December almost killed me from the amount of blood loss and became anemic . What do you recommend? My doctors recommended birth control but I never been on it or tried it I don’t know which one is best option? .. so I’m worried about it any recommendations??
Informative video but it has been proven that birth control can cause issues with periods, not just mask them. I think it’s pretty fair to say that if you have no issues with your period before going on birth control then do have issues when you come off it, the birth control would have played a role in causing it.
I was in ovulation induction. For first 2 cycle, took duphaston after ovulation. But in 3rd cycle I did not take duphaston. My period is 7 days late and there are no pegnany. Does not taking duphaston this cycle delay period? Please advice
My period range from 25-30 days and my luteal phase is on the shorter side with 10-12 days. My fertility doctor seemed to think that's fine, but after watching this video I feel like it's too irregular to be considered normal? Is there a medical consensus on this?
My periods have always been irregular and extremely heavy and awful cramps. It got so bad they put me on nexplanon. I went 3 years without a period, but ever since they replaced it I’ve been having periods again. This time pretty regular. I’m in heart and lung failure and have hyperthyroidism and have pah and I take tadalafil for my pah (weird I know I laugh every time I say I’m on it out loud.). This past month I had my longest period ever a week and a half. I normally only have it for 3-4 days. I’m also on blood thinners for blood clots. My question is, as soon as my last period ended which was December 26-27 I started it back my bleeding even heavier on December 31. I have never been able to wear tampons because I’m so tiny I can’t even have a pap without them using the baby size. I’ve started trying to use them as much as I can because I hate pads. They hurt a little bit, but especially when I take it out. I’d love some help understanding mine. I don’t go back to my obgyn until September.
When I was a teenager I got my period every 2 weeks because I would get my period whenever my mom got her period and then I would get my period whenever my grandmother (who lived with us) got hers. I eventually convinced my mom to put me on birth control. If you live with multiple women, that could be why you’re constantly getting periods
This is the video I needed when I was a teenager. My periods have been irregular since I got them and it’s been over 15 years.
An now?what are the solution?huhuhu I'm irregular too
I’m just turning about 18 year old
But i have very very irregular periods
Even it missed for 4 or 5 month until I don’t do home remedy it late
I’m now having so much irregular periods I stress again because of this issue
Me too, they have been regularly irregular for 20 years since they started
I just want to say your videos are amazing, and you are equipping young women with so much important information that we're never given in school. You're videos have helped me greatly to understand what's going on with my body so I can seek the care I need. So thank you!

It’s been almost a month for me and I haven’t had a period. I’m not pregnant , I’m 38 years old . Time to see my doctor .
I am 39 and my period has changed in the last year. It went from a 4-5 days normal bleeding to 2-3 days normal bleeding then in the last two months 2 days very light !
I’m 39 and I have the same problem for past 6 months. Period became light. I also had polyp removed recently but they are still light.
Such a vitally informative and clearly explained video. Thank you so much for making this video!

Could be environmental stress. Same with me after pandemic cycles haven’t been same. And if your younger than 25 periods can be out of wack. Or may want to get complete blood count. Not an Ob but was just sharing my experience as a 29 year old who is not on BC or haven’t been pregnant lol
It could be covid. It certainly impacted my periods the wrong way
This was me! It was the Covid vaccine
@@mairagutierrez8990me too ever since the Covid vaccine messed my menstrual cycle . I had a consistent 28 day cycle and since the vaccine it went whacked.
Is there any solution guys.. I'm also suffering with this after covid vaccine.. I m trying to conceive but no positive results 😥
Thank YOU for sharing your wisdom. Love from Denmark!
NGL this makes me a little upset that my GYNO laughed at me when I said I consider my period a vital sign which is why i wanted non-hormonal BC options.
I got my period when i was 12 . My period was regular but when i became 14 it started to bleed irregularly. First i started to get period for about 2 to 3 month with no gaps and heavy bleeding but when i was 15 i started to have no period about 2 to 3 months . Now I'm 16 and gonna be 17 soon in this two years i mean 15 to 17 age I'm getting my period irregularly as it comes once or twice in a month with little amount of bleeding. I've got so many checkups but my doctor always says that i don't have any problem. I just want to get rid of this and enjoy my regular period.
hi, same problem here! I’m on 43th day of bleeding rn😢
I got off BC pills this Jan after I completed my packet after 27.5 yrs at age 45. Took 3 months until I got a period. The following month got a period 1 week late, this month May I got my period and 2 wks later got another period. I am definitely adjusting. Trying to see what my new normal is, turn 46 in June. Sigh……
You were on bc for 27.5 years?! Wow 😯 and I thought me being on the pill for 15 years was a long time! Why did you decide to get off of it? I was told you can be on it until you hit menopause.
Yeah it took 3 months for me as well, but I looked it up before hand, so I knew that it was normal, but then 6 months later I was late 10 days (no sexual activity), and then 2 months after that I had it twice in one month. Now I'm good I'm between 28-31 days. I'm 42.
@worldtraveleroxoxo1201 I was on the pill for almost 23 years. I left it this year 22 may 2024. And then on the 5th July I got my period non stop and it paused for about 2 days and then continue again up to now. I just went for hormonal test today. Just to check if I am peri or menopause.
@@mandyarchery3780 you can’t be menopause yet because you cannot have a period for 12 months. Most women are perimenopausal Or premenopausal 5-10 years “before” menopause. Now I am 47 and now all the low back of my head hair has gotten kinky and the back of my hair is no longer dense it is sparse. I have tons of hair fall in the shower it’s crazy.
12:08 could you talk more about this in your future videos? I am in my early 30s and have PCOS, no abnormal hormone levels based on labs or visible acne or weight problems (normal BMI whole life)--just irregular cycles and multiple peripheral follicles on ultrasound. Also not trying to conceive. I am having trouble finding information on the next steps for people like me who have PCOS without major immediate implications (no acne, no weight problems, not TTC) but with concerned about long-term complications (uterine cancer, diabetes).
Thank you for your videos, always. It is so important to increase access to accurate health information, especially when there are many systems that so stubbornly limit it
just like u
Hey this is me. Did you find anything that helped?
This information is very helpful, but it is easy to feel a little lost in all the information. Any chance you could have more visual diagrams as you explain certain things? :)
Thank you for all the amazing information!
I'm seventeen, and ever since I first got my period at eleven, my periods have been somewhat irregular. However, it got a lot worse near the end of middle school. Now, i've gone a full 4 months without bleeding more than once My doctor suggested that I increase my iron intake, but other people advise against it.
I'm not on birth control, and am still a virgin. I really think stress might be the main factor, but I'm reluctant to visit a hospital if its really something that can maybe be resolved without medication or treatment.
My menstrual cycle doesn't get steady until early 30 with a 30-37 day cycle. Don't get too stressed.
Girl im on the same situa as u
I'm 40 and they just turned irregular and i believe i could be in perimenopause. It's frustrating 😫.
I’m getting really upset because I have been going to the doctor for the past 6 years trying to get pregnant and I just haven’t been able to get them to tell me anything is even wrong with me.
My period use to come within 2-3 days and rarely past day 28. Now it’s anywhere between day 25 and 32. It’s driving me insane. The only thing that feels reliable is one month is early and the next it’s late. I also always ovulate consistently before day 10. I’m just told it’s still in the normal base line and it’s fine.😅
Ugh thank you so much for explaining everyone on you tube alwssy explained it really bad, wrong or too fast but this was perfect! Thank you!
I'm so glad!
I have pcos, I get my period every month, cycle timeline changes per month but I get my period. How can we figure out if I’m menstruating without ovulation? If ovulation strips can barely determine that
Thank you doc!
Are there any holistic ways to fix an irregular period (not on contraception) ?
I know this question is pretty late, but my periods have been irregular for years, with large ovarian cysts during extremely stressful moments in my life (to count, it's been only two so far, thankfully). My progesterone levels are low as far as I understand but given that I am only 22 and not trying to convince, various gynecologists don't want to try medication as they don't think it's a good idea (which I understand). I have also had social anxiety for most of my life and therefore am stressed often and easily. Could my anxiety be a factor contributing to my irregular periods and low progesterone?
Can you please do a video elaborating on pituitary issues? I’m curious about low fsh and LH levels monthly and the possibility of hypopituitarism or a hpa-axis dysfunction. I’m wondering what the treatment around these is like. Thank you!
Progesterone is low in that case.
I love ur videos. supper helpful
Glad you like them!
Actually it's been 2 months since my menstrual circle is disturbed...and is about 33 to 35 days long...and it's been always about 28 days long !! Is it something to worry about? Can anyone guide me plz 😭 I'm actually stressed
Yes I am facing the same issue and idk if there's something to really worry about or not?
Same with me
I don't know why but mine has been almost 6 months and I'm pregnant
Hy everyone

Please give me some guidelines
Hi dokter! 5 years ago I had an ectopic pregnancy and I had to get a surgery because I was bleeding internally. After the surgery they told me I lost my right ovary. Since then I’ve had one ovary . I have 2 children now. After my son in 2021 I got an iud because I did not want any children. 3 Month’s ago I decided I did not want hormones in my body so i got it removed by my doctor. Now ive had every 24-26 days a period also this Month when I was supposed to ovulate I got another period on my predicted ovulation day.. which I dont understand why this happend. I bled for 5 days . Im now having lower left backpain… Im very worried because my periods were always every 29 days exactly..
Btw Im from Holland watching your video❤
Hi! I love your channel! Thanks for the info!
Advice needed- my husband and I are trying. I am 31 years old and came off birth control about 4 months ago. (Nexplanon) I had 3 perfectly timed periods. Same date and time each month, lasted for 3 days. Then I skipped one. I took 2 pregnancy tests and they were both negative. I finally got it 3 days ago, but it was 7 weeks late. What could cause that?
Thanks so much! Xoxo ❤
My period is been incredibly light ever since June of last year ( except October where is did come normally) I'm not sure why . I did all the test. Went the the Endocrinologist and everything came out normal. It's starting to worry me that no one knows what's wrong. I did a uterus ultrasound too and that came out to be normal.
Me too! Ive had an ultrasound, blood tests, most of what i can think of.
i am 14 years old. i got my first ever period on June 20, 2023 and it lasted for 10 days with very light bleeding. i didnt get my period after that for 8 month i just got it 21 february 2024 at the first day it was regular bleeding yesterday(the second day) it was more bleeding and today there is just littraly one small brown spot and i think it finished
You are just Amazing mam! ❤
Hi doctor, i'm a teenager and my periods have been normal before... But when i noticed i have been missing some months of periods and date is not predictable to me, so my mom told me to install a period stimulation app, and the stats in it shows that my period cycle is irregular from MAY 19/2023(the day i downloaded the app if i'm right) to FEB 22/2024,the app says that my cycle length from MAY 19/23 to FEB 22/24 is about 34-50 cycle and it is irregular. I had missid 2 or 3 months period from the date i had mentioned above... And my period length from MAY 19/23 to FEB 22/24 was about 7-8 days and the app says it is abnormal. Sometimes i get back aches, mood swings, and tiredness 1 week before i get my period. I have this abnormal sleeping shedule as i'm a board student it is difficult to sleep normal and eat... 🏃♀️ i'm a vegan and my body is tired all day. My BMI is normal. Even the app can't predict my period correctly, i think it's because of these irregular dates, at first i thoght that it is the app's lack development that it can't predict correctly then i changed the app and gave the dates of my periods from the previous app to the new one. doctor... I don't know what to do.. Is it going to be ok? What can i do to make it normal?
just found out i dont have PCOS. Love being AN ABNORMAL LADY because i had irregular periods right after i got them AND WENT ON BIRTH CONTROL PILLS RIGHT AWAY. i Thankfully have never been real domesticated in nature like my mom. shes very COMFORTABLE with cooking gourmet meals AND CHANGING POOPEY DIAPERS AS WELL AS HAVING A CAREER AS A SOCIAL WORKER AND TEACHER. I DONT PLAN ON EVER HAVING KIDS IM NOW 21 AND OUT OF COLLEGE. IM VERY CONFIDENT IN MY CHOICE. MY BOYFRIEND AGREES WITH ME ON THIS TOO.HE HAS A JOB AND IS THE BREADWINNER. WHEN HES NOT WORKING WE JUST CHILL AND WATCH TV. ALSO WE SHOP TILL WE DROP. WE HAVE ALOT OF NICE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BOUGHT FOR OUR APARTMENT.
I'm almost 37. My cycles range like this: 29, 33, 29, 31, etc, but my periods only seem to have 2 medium days and 3-4 light to spotting days, and it seems it could or could not be normal, but we are TTC, and after 3 months we still haven't hit it, even when being intimate 2-3 times a week every week outside of period week. We have ALWAYS gotten pregnant right away, even our last baby was conceived from a day where my chances of getting pregnant were only 35%. It's makes me very sad that we are trying for just ONE more and we are having so much trouble. Any suggestions or thoughts?
I’ve been irregular my whole life and refuse to take drugs to correct it…. I feel fine without it. No GYN for me….
Mine was regular FOREVER, even coming off the pill after many years early last year. After my recent miscarriage though it is so off and so is my ovulation. Don't know how to get it back to normal..
This is so helpful. What about POI? Is HRT the gold standard? I’m offered BC but would like to keep my period as a vital sign. If I opt for HRT over BC, will my period still be a vital sign? Thank you so much!
I think excessive exercise is what’s causing my low estrogen
I took contraceptive pills 2 times in a week
I had spotting for 2 months and 1 month no spotting nor menstruation
I got my Nexplanon removed on March 7th. Had my first period on 4/14 and then again on 5/8 and then another one 2 weeks later on 5/26. Is that normal with coming off the Nexplanon? I had the implant for a total of 5 years (was on my second one when I removed it). Thanks.
You mentioned about endometrial biopsy. Is that something recommended as a first step for irregular cycles? Even before blood work?
Natalie please help:
I am 40 1/2 years old and I am missing my first period. When my last period ended I began to have hot flashes almost the entire cycle. Hot flushers did stop but no period. I did go see my OBGYN but because it's not been more than 3 months with missing a period, nothing really can be done. But I am worried about what is happening. I always had a regular period, no matter what stress I went through. And now for the first time ever I am missing a period. We are trying for a baby but my blood draw is negative for pregnancy. Thyroid function is normal. My last period was on 9/19. Please help. As well, I had my FSH blood drawn and it is low as I would need IVF to become pregnant. Is it still possible for me to get pregnant naturally? We been trying for about a year and a half. I had miscarriege last January. Please give me some advice. Thank you.
Wow wish your my doctor
Hello! I wanted to ask a question regarding my hormones. When my blood was drawed, my doctor said my estrogen levels are low so that is why my period is not coming. They gave me Estradiol pills to take for 21 days followed up with 7 days of progesterone pills. I just wanted your view on this. Would you recommend this or is there other natural ways for me to increase my estrogen levels.
Thank you ❤
I haven’t had a period in almost 6 years. I started my period at 10 years old and they went away at 14 years old. I was told I was fat and needed to lost weight when I was 19. I wasn’t this weight when they went away and I haven’t had one since. They said pcos but I don’t think it is cause testosterone wasn’t very high. Please let me know
I got my period when I was 11 Since then, it has been irregular and I fear that I will become infertile I hate myself because of it. I'm afraid to date someone I don't know how to explain this ,I went to doctors who always gave me birth control pills I'm really tired of it 💔
I moved to Canada 3 months back but my periods were perfectly normal and regular but its been 2 months I didn’t get my periods 🥲🥲i am so so stressed i can’t even explain. Please tell me what should i do.
Hi, what would you say about regular periods that only last 2 days and are extremely light ( first day normal.. 2nd day very light and then spotting the 3rd day)
Thanks, would love to hear back
My period is less than 20days
On the 3day of my menses I ways get headache severely for a day.
I have pain on my left-side of pelvic
I been researching past three months since I’ve been having long prolonged periods out of no where … I haven’t had my IUD for almost two years now and ever since I got it out my body been out of whack and I started having cyst on my ovary of 10cm and it went away by eating healthy than I went back to my old ways and now I heard o have a 4cm cyst opposite side of my ovary and now irregular bleeding and found out more awful results 😢😢😢 so now I’m going to be getting two surgeries this coming week and I pray I can recover fast and heal and be able to conceive one more healthy child
Dr. Crawford, PLEASE ADVISE 😞 My period became very heavy after miscarriage 21 months ago. Every month is heavy, also became longer. I get my period every month between 28-30 day cycles. No fibroids or pollyps found. Haven’t been able to conceive since miscarriage. 4 doctors later and none have found any issues with me. Last Dr recommended IVF. I truly feel like my period is telling me somethingis wrong. What would you suggest I have checked next?
I experience the same, i had 7 weeks miscarriages. Before miscarriages, My cycle are 28-30 days. But after miscarriage my cycle are 33-35 days. I consult with 2 obgyn doctor, they said it seems normal. But I'm scared. My weight is ideal weight 19 (IMT)
My periods untill past 3 months were regular but now after we started planning for a baby, it's going irregular....
After the intercourse, exactly after a week, i get my right abdomen cramps and then after 2 days, i get left abdomen cramps and after 2 days i get cramps in the middle of the abdomen...all this continues untill my period is expected.....but my period will be postponed 2-3days. I just dont understand this at all...can somebody tell if you know anything ....its so diffcult to get an appointment at my place.....i didn had any contraceptive pills anytime too
Were you pregnant or did this sort itself out?
It has been happening for pass 4months now
I appreciate the focus on natural remedies in this discussion. For those seeking gentle alternatives to manage menstrual pain and irregular bleeding, Planet Ayurveda's products are definitely worth considering.
Hi there what products would you recommend.
Im spotting now which is weird cuz my period are usually near the ending of the month. Ive never been regular, theyve always been a few days off. But i hurt my back lifting something 2 days ago, so i got scared that im bleeding to death idk. Will update if im wrong.
Hello my last menstrual was 2-4-24 and today my pms Came 3-16-24 😮 now I don't know when I'm going to ovulate to be able to conceived
Hello doc, i just started my period earlier than i should i just had my period 15 days ago, now im on my period again and i had brown spotting 2 days ago (never had this before) blood color is darker than usual also so what does that mean? Im so worried 🥺
So Im 14 years old and I actually got my first period when I was 13 in like march, so this is all a little overwhelming and confusing to me. The thing is tho fast forward to the present, Its October 27th today and I got my period, tho my last period started on October 1st and ended on the 17th. Im not sure whats going on and what to expect. Any advice?
I notice I can go months regular and then I may get a couple longer cycles. Should I be concerned? I know most times it’s due to stress
I seem to be having 2 periods a month and it's doing my head in and they seem to last 2 weeks
Hey Dr Crawford! I was just prescribed tamoxifen for ovulation due to really bad symptoms on letrozole.
I noticed that there’s not as much information on this medication for PCOS or infertility in general online. Can you do a video on symptoms to watch out for while on fertility medications and one on what tamoxifen does? I really appreciated your video where you explained clomid and letrozole.
Just curious what were your really bad symptoms on letrozole? I’m currently taking and I have really bad headache/ fatigue. Wasn’t a fan of clomid either.
@@worldtravelerxoxo1201 I ,like you, had really bad fatigue. I had migraines in the past but they had mostly cleared up until I started taking it. While on letrozole they became overwhelming and much more frequent, taking days from the onset of symptoms to the end of mental fog. Plus my vision was blurry at times and I developed ovarian cysts that ruptured two months in a row. Both times I was in pain for about a day, I couldn’t walk or move and I had to be cared for by husband.
Hello doctor , I'm Zarra and I barely have my period and at the age of 30 my period kind a bleeding and none at all 4 days ago my underwear have brown spot and few days later my period look like a balloon fill with blood and I saw couple of blood clogs like it's burst a lot and I curious what wrong with me , I barely got my period and I'm used to taken medication during high-school then I have it and after that for 7 I have taken medication like when I'm 13 I don't got it but 14 I got it when I took my medication and now I'm a grown women my period its unstable
I’ve been trying to get pregnant, got pregnant first try and then had a partial molar pregnancy, have been cleared and have tried last two months no luck, saw my fertility spect and explained I’ve had irregular periods for years but I’ve had laparoscopy, ultrasounds and all the bloods and she says everything is fine even though I seem to have a short luteal phase so it’s very confusing, she wants to try two months of clomid and see what happens but frustrating there’s no reason for the irregular periods

hey I have a request can you do a video where like say some women get there. And then say they missed it for like 3 months and then finally start because example stress what to do if it doesn't start after the 3 months
Provera is given to jump start your period. But you have to take a pregnancy test first at the doctors to make sure your aren’t pregnant. Because provera can cause severe birth defects. I was going to take it but then boom 💥 started my period now my natural cycle is 42-45 days.
Can someone tell me what this means?
I first got my period november 2022 when i was in yr 7 i next got it in 2023 i dont remember what month then i got it in 2024 (this year) idk what month then i got it tuesday it was just spotting wednesday no blood no symptoms then today there was some bleeding when i went toilet but thats about it so what does that mean

I get 4 periods a year - and this has only just started regulating for me. I went travelling and got 2 in 2 months in a row. I think I was over exercising and restricting food to just high protein which messed up my hormones, trying to listen to my body hoping to regulate more :( when I travelled I had no choice but to eat and not exercise but Im back home and already back in the gym everyday :( has anyone got any advice
2 in 2 months is “normal”
4 a year is not

Hello Dr Crawford i been having irregular periods and i been trying to conceive but i been unsuccessful i been thinking about seeking ivf but im not sure how to go about it.
Definitely something to talk to your OBGYN about - they should be able to refer you to a fertility clinic. Or you can always go straight to a fertility doctor. Wishing you the best!

Good Day Doctor.
I had Hysteroscopy for Asherman Syndrome 2months ago.(13/6/2023)
My symtoms was scanty and dark periods following a myomectomy which was done 12 months ago (3/6/2022).
The problem was, I am finding it difficult to concieve.
After the surgery.
1)A ballon stent was inserted in my uterus for 2 weeks.
2)I was given oral contraceptive pills to take for 3months.
Fortunately my next period was normal(the right period color and the heavier periods).
My question is when should i start TTC?
I am 32years old living with secondary infertility.
Can someone please tell me why ive been on my period for 3 weeks wit no pain at all im 16 and this is the first time this has happened to me and im scared
best to book in with the doctor, my period started to get messed up a few months before i turned 16 and i was just immediately put on birth control and now i’m 18 and still on it, hopefully they don’t do that to you but if they want to i’d suggest fighting for an explanation or a better investigation!
Honestly, I'd mention it to your mom or dad so they can make an appointment for you to see a doctor. This much bleeding for that long could cause anemia, which is a really understated diagnosis. I'm chronically anemic and if I miss my iron supplement I crash and burn
@@jocelynprior1874hi. I have same problem as she mentioned, I have irregular and bleeding since june! doctor suggested us birth control but we refused because of side effects. after this much bleeding I’m not anemic and my blood level is normal tho

Never been on a contraceptive .. my periods are soooo irregular . This last one in December almost killed me from the amount of blood loss and became anemic . What do you recommend? My doctors recommended birth control but I never been on it or tried it I don’t know which one is best option? .. so I’m worried about it any recommendations??

My period every 26 days every month and lasted 3-4 days. Is that regular period or irregular period?
Super normal don't worry
Regular as they come regular lol
Irregular world be different lengths of cycle
Why menstruation come twice a month?
Informative video but it has been proven that birth control can cause issues with periods, not just mask them. I think it’s pretty fair to say that if you have no issues with your period before going on birth control then do have issues when you come off it, the birth control would have played a role in causing it.
Since June 28 2024 i have a full 6 day period every 10 days . Woman 40 year. What do I do ?
Have you done pregnancy test? This sounds odd. Mine are rarely appearing now at 42😮

I was in ovulation induction. For first 2 cycle, took duphaston after ovulation. But in 3rd cycle I did not take duphaston. My period is 7 days late and there are no pegnany. Does not taking duphaston this cycle delay period? Please advice
@Natalie Crawford, please suggest on this.
My period range from 25-30 days and my luteal phase is on the shorter side with 10-12 days. My fertility doctor seemed to think that's fine, but after watching this video I feel like it's too irregular to be considered normal? Is there a medical consensus on this?
Same. Just recently. Why is it?
My cycle is 25/24 days every month.. and it’s predicted. They last about 5 days. Is this normal?

Hi I got my period in 1 july and then 27 July what does this mean doctor
How old are you? Has it happened again as my cycles dropped to 25 days now and I am almost 43
My periods have always been irregular and extremely heavy and awful cramps. It got so bad they put me on nexplanon. I went 3 years without a period, but ever since they replaced it I’ve been having periods again. This time pretty regular. I’m in heart and lung failure and have hyperthyroidism and have pah and I take tadalafil for my pah (weird I know I laugh every time I say I’m on it out loud.). This past month I had my longest period ever a week and a half. I normally only have it for 3-4 days. I’m also on blood thinners for blood clots. My question is, as soon as my last period ended which was December 26-27 I started it back my bleeding even heavier on December 31. I have never been able to wear tampons because I’m so tiny I can’t even have a pap without them using the baby size. I’ve started trying to use them as much as I can because I hate pads. They hurt a little bit, but especially when I take it out. I’d love some help understanding mine. I don’t go back to my obgyn until September.
My cycle was 31 days then 32 days and then 28 days is that normal?
Yes, I get that sometimes too!
👍🏻👍🏻
this is really informative. But what if I get my period every 10 days?
When I was a teenager I got my period every 2 weeks because I would get my period whenever my mom got her period and then I would get my period whenever my grandmother (who lived with us) got hers. I eventually convinced my mom to put me on birth control. If you live with multiple women, that could be why you’re constantly getting periods
I missed My period on the 21st April till May 07th. Am I pregnant?
If you got your period it’s doubtful but were you pregnant?? Or are they regular again?
omg!! information overkill , sorry
