(For parents of adolescents) Teen periods question
Hey. It's been a long time since I've actually posted a question here!
My daughter's 14 1/2 now. She finally started having periods back in the spring. She had three very regular periods (April/May/June), and then hasn't had one since. I know that it's common for periods to be irregular at first, but does this sort of pattern fall into the 'normal' irregular range? (I know that *I* was extremely irregular as a teen ... and as an adult, but I don't remember the exact pattern in those first few years. I also have PCOS, so I want to be alert for signs of similar issues in her [my mother still feels TERRIBLY guilty that she didn't recognize that my irregular cycles were a sign of a problem ... not that they could have/would have done anything about it in the 1970's] She is definitely taking after me in many ways -- including the tendency to be thin, but gain weight around the middle.) Thanks. Naomi |

It was recently suggested to me by a pediatrician that teens who have regular periods that then become irregular should have their thyroid checked. I'm sorry that I have no more information than that and don't even know what she was getting at. -Patty, mom of 1+2 |
