Irregular periods or something else?
Hi everyone,
I'm a 17 year old female and since the end of last year my periods have gone completely insane.
I've always had a longer cycle than 28 days, but honestly, I never really kept track of my periods because they always eventually turned up, so I will say they have always been longer than average. However, in December of last year I had mid/late cycle spotting and then a full period at the beginning of January which was quite unusual as I've never had it. I will admit that I was extremely stressed during this period however I have had anxiety issues all my life and it's never affected my period. Since then, my period has been completely random. I've had a 29 day cycle once, and 18 day cycle, a two week cycle, and for a while, I just decided that my cycle was just changing and becoming more regular, however, this month I'm on day 32, almost 33 of my cycle. I don't understand why it's taking so long. I had spotting about 3 days ago and it was light brownish and I've also had cramps and leg pain/hunger craving and tender breasts but no period and it's very odd for me. I had an ultrasound a few months ago due to stomach pains and the woman checked my ovaries and said they appeared to be healthy and there was no shadows which I'm assuming rules out a few possible causes like PCOS or something. I'm starting to wonder now if I have endo due to my irregular cycles, random pains and spotting. I especially experience sharp shooting pains during this period of time as well, last month in my rigjt ovary.
Thanks for the help. My general health like blood tests, urine tests and physical appear to be fine.
