Hi..
Thanks for writing to us..
have you taken any medications to postpone periods?
If not you can wait for one more period before you approach the doctor..
It can vary with your stress levels or diet or general well being also..
If it continues the same the reason could be hormonal (called DUB) or an organic cause like fibroid and you need to take treatment accordingly..
Meanwhile don't worry..Take well balanced diet if necessary with iron supplements..
Take care..
