Speak with your doctor if you notice any of the following symptoms, which are all signs of a potential reproductive disorder.

[ ] Pelvic pain lasting more than six months that interferes with your lifestyle

[ ] Painful periods, especially if over the counter medications like ibuprofen don't help

[ ] Pain or bleeding with intercourse

[ ] Irregular periods (less than 23 or more than 36 days apart)

[ ] Vaginal bleeding or spotting between periods

[ ] Difficulty becoming pregnant (12 months of trying if under age 35, six months if age 36-40, four months if over age 40)

Irregular periods alone aren't cause to worry. I had extremely irregular and painful ones as a teen, one summer my period came every other week :( But I had no problems getting pregnant.

Having an irregular period can also be caused if you live an extremely athletic lifestyle. In high school, I was constantly exercising and had irregular periods. While I am still athletic in my mid 20's, finding a balanced routine has regulated my cycle.
