    Well, I'm 23 and have had irregular periods from the very beginning.
    I never could remember when my last period was, and I felt stupid when my doctor asked.
    After having my first child, I noticed my periods became regular and it has been regular until just a month ago.
    So I start within the first week of every month, until this month (April). A week went by, another week went by... nothing.
    Naturally I assumed I was pregnant, so I bought 3 tests. They were alllll negative. Ok, no period, no pregnancy... then what?
    I kept feeling pre-menstrual cramps, so I thought ok, I'll start today!!! Nope. This went on for another week.
    So it's finally April 23rd, and I STARTED.
    What the heck is up with that? Hahahaha.
    So did my cycle decide it didn't like the first week of the month and wanted to switch to the end of the month instead?
    I mean, can it just change like that for no reason?
    I plan on going in to my gynecologist some time soon, and having this talk with him/her.
    I spoke with my mother on the phone about this and she pointed out to me what the change could have been triggered by.
    See, I just began babysitting my friend's child last month.
    With the new situation, I now wake up super early and go to bed fairly early as well. Perhaps my body is reacting to this change?
    It just fascinates me at how sensitive our bodies are to the world around us.

    I welcome anyone's annoyances with irregular periods, I know I'm not the only one!!! haha.

    Later Ladies!!!

    I have the same problem. I NEVER KNOW when it's going to happen. My doctor said it could be alot of things like stress... or it even changes to working out.
    I started taking birthcontrol to regulate my period it helps alot.

    My biggest thing is I can have my period every 26 days for 2 months. Then it changes..one month it was 19 days, one month 20 days. I want to plan a vacation and it's irritating becasue my period comes whenever she feels like it. Any suggestions.
