Re: periods routine

sorry ttht was she lol

Re: periods routine

4-5 days is pretty normal. Pills do regulate the period and make cramping way better.

Re: periods routine

the same is the case with me sometimes..though i usually do not have period pains,but,if i have periods 4-5 days before the last date,i would have to undergo much pain..so,i believe that irregularity in them can be one of the reasons for such pains.,though 4-5 days is considered to be normal.

Re: periods routine

why does the irregularity happen? any specific reason?

Re: periods routine

The most common cause is PCOS Poly-cystic-ovarian syndrome. If its very bad, it can impact fertility. But most cases it causes irregularity and cramps. The "pill" corrects this in many cases but it takes a gyn to evaluate and determine the best course of acttion. Good luck and see your doc!

Re: periods routine

but as said 4-5 days delayed or earlier is normal rite ?
so, i'm ok Alhumdulilah...

Re: periods routine

Some people just have a shorter cycle. If your pain is excuriating, you may want to visit a gyn to get checked for PCOS esp if you have other symptoms. In my case i have a lot of symptoms for it but when i got checked out (hormone levels etc), i didnt have it. Alhamdulillah.

Re: periods routine

Are you counting 4-5 days from a 28 day cycle or a monthly cycle? I mean if your date is 1st of the month then "normal" next date would be 29th of the same month. Seems like its not too way off. But as for excruciating pains, I would not go for any sort of pills which probly have side effects. There are natural alternatives to ease painful periods. Vitamni B group esp B6 with Calcium Magnesium are helpful. You have to be consistent with these.
