What about unusual bleeding?

Just as you can have an irregular period, you may also notice unusual or unexpected bleeding at some point. There can be spotting for a day or two after your cycle has ended. It is common for periods to be somewhat irregular. The cycle also may get shorter after the age of 35. At this time it is also normal to have a skipped or missed period.

Why do I have irregular periods?

During the first year of your period you may experience irregular, heavier, or skipped periods. This is normal. Many women experience irregular periods during adulthood, such as after child birth or change or hormone or birth control. If you have a sudden change in the regularity after a year of normal cycles consult your physician.
