Are Irregular Periods Genetic?
Yes doctor, I would like to talk to a gynecologist. I am 14 but have had very irregular menstrual problems, I skip months or just weeks, or even sometimes get my cycle every two weeks. I realise that it can take 2 to 3 years for a menstrual cycle to fully adapt on a regular basis. Although my mom and I suffer from this, she has told me many times that it runs gynetically.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Irregular menstrual cycles may ne irregular during the initial years and they get regular after couple of months.
It is not genetic but the pattern of menstrual cycles may be same in mother and daughters.
Thanks and take care
