am 20 years old...
never had any type of significant irregularity in my menstruation.
how ever the past 4 or 5 months have been quite odd...
in june i missed my period, then in july i had some type of menstruation going on and i missed my period in august...
i usually sync with women that i am around most often but my girlfriend/life partner has moved back home (since may) and we were synced for a little while and then it got odd...
i am an addict/alcoholic in recovery with a recently recognized 1 year of sobriety in mid August.
i also have bipolar disorder (manic depressive type) and i have been on and off medications for the last 7 years or so.
im not sure if any of that plays a part in this situation
history of sexual and physical abuse ... serious depression and the list continues...
i also had an abortion in 2010 idk if that has anything to do with it either...
this summer has been VERY stressful TO SAY THE LEAST so that could very well be the reason...
i went to my primary doctor (since age 4) in late june/early july and then in august told them about the irregularity and they said it was "normal" idk how i feel about that bullcrap
im some sort of a hypercondriac as well ... any pointers ???
