“I don't have regular periods. What should I do?”
I'm 20 years old and I haven't had my regular period in over a month. It's been 40 days already. What should I do? I haven't been sexually active and I didn't start any new medications.

Probably not a big issue. I would see the gyn to be assessed.
Check a pregnancy test and if negative, see your gynecologist.
Has this happened before? Are you on contraception meds? If not sexually active, thus not pregnant, it is likely to be ovulation issue, not so uncommon. Next cycle could be heavier than usual, and while it is unlikely to be anything serious, a check-up would be in order.
See a Provider and get this checked out!
Irregular periods may be caused by stress or hormonal imbalance. You should have and ultrasound done to see if any anomalies are identified and also you should have your thyroid levels evaluated. Those are the most common reasons to experience menstrual irregularities.
Hi,
Lots of women do not have regular cycles between 21 and 35 days each cycle. If you are not sexually active, it can be due to lack of ovulation to this point. Oral progesterone or a synthetic progesterone, also known as a progestin, over a few days will induce a bleed. This means "fooling your body" into thinking it has ovulated. You can then use a birth control pill
to keep your cycle artificially regular and protect you from the sometimes excessive bleeds that come with irregular cycles.
