How To Regularize Menstrual Cycles When Not Taking Any Birth Control Pills?
I have very irregular menstrual cycles. I can go two months without one then once I menstruate it will be for instance I'll start the beginning of the mnth then the next month start in the middle of the month then I' ll start at the end....Then go without for a few months. Is this normal since I dont currently take birth control and haven't in five years.

hi,
It is not normal to have irregular cycles and you cannot keep taking pills to regularize cycles lifelong .So i will advice you to get THyroid profile tested i.e. Free T3, T4, TSH and Serum FHS, Serum LH and Serum Prolactin as thyroid and hormonal imbalance are common causes of irregular menses. Also you need to get a sonography of your pelvis done to rule out any fibroid as a source of irregular bleeding
