I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same... I get irregular periods, maybe once every 2-3 months (the last was 2 months ago, and before that was ~1.5 months ago) for a while (a while ago it was more regular). I have definitely increased my mileage the past year but I am making sure I am getting enough iron (supplement, and not taking it with calcium), and my iron levels are fine. Is this still cause to be worried? I am also an average body weight, BMI of 19-20. What could be the problem? Thanks.



Unless you are male, there may be no problem. Do a little reading on the web.

Regular periods are a rather recent occurrence in human evolution.

There is an essay that address this in Gladwell's "What the Dog Saw" collection of articles. See the one about the invention of the birth control pill...by a Catholic doctor, btw!
