I have irregular period cycle. Ave period length is 2 weeks, with 2-3 weeks "break" in between. It causes my calendar to mess up (we're trying to conceive). Is this menstrual cycle normal? Any advice re timing?
HI,
Bleeding for two weeks is not normal and should be considered excessive. You will need a thorough evaluation by a gynaecologist to find out the cause of prolonged bleeding during menses. An ultrasound scan should also be done. Fibroids, endometrial hyperplasia and ovarian cysts can cause such bleeding. This may also be the reason you are unable to get pregnant.
The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
