Default six months between periods?

i got my first period in six months this week. should i go to the doctor? or is my doctor just going to renew my bc prescription? Usually I get a period once every 3 months so I dunno if its normal to start skipping more.

How long have you been on BCP's? I don't think it's normal at all to be on them and only have a period every three months. On BCP you're supposed to have one every month, right?

It cleared my brain fog, brought back af, helped me lose weight, made me o' again, and helped me get pregnant. My first Metformin miracle is now 3 years old, my second (surprise one) arrived December11!

Back to your original question: It isn't normal to skip periods. It means something is wrong with your hormone levels. May want to get that checked out. I'm not a big advocate of the pill, though. All it does is bring on your period and keep some of the sypmtoms in check - it does not treat the underlying problem.

I agree with Japan...you need to speak to your doctor and see what's going on. I also only have natural periods once or twice a year. My doctor prescribed Provera to bring on AF....I usually let it go for about 2 months, and then I take the Provera to bring AF on.

Good luck to you!
