My periods used to be very irregular, 5 days to 2 weeks every 2-6 months. Just before moving across the country I got my period as randomly as usual, a month later it was back for 3 days, now (one month later) it's back again and I'm concerned.I recently (2 months) moved from North Carolina to New Mexico. I've noticed several positive changes. My hair and skin aren't as oily, my IBS has completely resolved itself, my libido is UP, and I've dropped about 5lbs. I attribute this all to the arid climate, decreased stress, active new job, and wonderful new man who cooks more often than hitting up fast food. However, the period thing has me scared and confused and my insurance will not start for another 2 months.

May I asked why you are scared that you are now regular? Maybe the weight loss, healthy eating, and stress free environment has led to ovulation and regular menstruation.
