I'm hoping that some one in the know will enlighten me of an issue i have regarding my menstruation.
While alot of women I know have thier menstruation once a month, I have mine once every two months. I mean, we learn in high school science lessons that the cycle is usually 28 days. My friends have a very predictable cycle and always know when they will have thier 'bad days'. However, mine is very unpredictable. I have tried to keep track of a pattern but have given up ages ago coz like, sometimes I have it after 6 weeks, sometimes 7 or 8 weeks. And once I had it after actually 3 months. I believe in sex only after marriage and although have dated guys for some years now, I have never been sexually involved with any of them, so that rules out possibilities of the causes of the irregularity in my menstruation being pregnancy or something of that nature.
I don't know if my case is unhealthy and may pose some health risks for me. If there's any ob-gyn or medical person with some good advice on this, would you please let me know.
Thanks,
Nadia

I am a guy and don’t even know any thing about woman menstruations but I think I might have a theory to convince you and many woman out there, just try reason it out whit me....
Your period you said comes every 2 months on average ... according to ma deductions, you are perfectly healthy, believe me.
The reason why you not menstruating like other woman do every 28 days is because you only have only one healthy ovary which releases an ovum every 2 months. Your other ovary may have been naturally blocked. It’s best it’s kept that way.
All women menstruate monthly because each ovary ovulates once in 2 months but with two healthy ovaries they take turns releasing their ova. In this way, when one ovary 'A' is in the middle of its production (28 days) ovary 'B' is matured (has reach 56 + days developing) so it releases making a woman menstruate after a week if it is unfertilized. And in reverse when ovary 'B' gets in to mid production ovary 'A' will be ready and will release an egg.
The thing is you may only conceive every 2 months if you wish to have a child after marriage. Other wise you will have a very excellent sex life with out warring about pregnancy for a whole month after your menstruation.
The above is my personal opinion about your menstruation behavior from your description.
If you wish to discuss more about what I wrote here, please feel free to mail me on feelgood98@gmail.com .
I think I should really take up medical school ….what do you think?

You are making me feel good as well. I have never heard anything about menstruation after 2 months. I know it's a monthly period meaning once every month. This is something new I'm learning. Where else can I prove that?

It is perfectly normal for women to have irregular periods. Some women can go without a period for as long as 6 months. There's nothing wrong with you. Your periods are 2 months apart it seems. Are you an active person? Do you play alot of sport? Because that can also stop you from having a normal menstrual cycle or stop your cycle altogether. As long as you have at least 3 periods a year, you are fine. As long as you are having a period, I wouldn't worry about it. To be on the safe side you may still want to go see your nearest OBGYN just to make sure everything is OK.
Have a great day!!

Feelgood, your talk is all nonsense, even if she had one ovary she would still menstuate every month. But here's the key.
Menstuation is like almost everything else in this life, subject to variation, just like some people are smart and others not so womens menses are subject to external factors and internal factors.
1. Age, fairly often women at menarche or menopause (beginning and end) have irregular cycles, these may become regular over time or not.
2. Hormones, contrary to popular belief that you can't control your hormones, you can, hormones are actually the snail mail of the brain, the tell the body's organs what to do and when. In times of stress, great fluctuation in weight, dietary insufficiency etc. are all liable to make your menses irregualar. Sometimes the body is over sensitive or under sensitive and may need more or less stimulation depending upon which point you are at.
3. Pregnancy is an ideal way to regulate your menses, it flushes the body with large amounts of oestrogen and progesterone, the "female" hormones, this will allow your body to reset itself after.
4. If you do not wish to be pregnant just yet, go and get yourself some contraception, the Oral Contraceptive Pill, The Pill or OCP is an Oestrogen/Progesterone pill that tricks your body in to thinking it is pregnant, it is made up of 28 pill, 21 hormone containing ones and 7 sugar coated ones. They must be taken at the same time every day, since the body's circadian rhythm (layman: clock) regulates the release of these hormones and a sudden drop (which is what the sugar coated ones are for) could cause either menses or an ovum to be released. The alternative would be Depo Provera, or "Sut", which prevents the ovum being released. It is progesterone only and it is a "Depot" drug so its effect lasts for about 3 months. Since you want a regular cycle you will need to take it for at least 1 year, 4 injections into your gluteus (bum). This will effectively put your body back onto a level playing field and so you can begin again.
5. If all else fails you can try synthetic analogs of Oestrogen, namely Norethisterone, but you need to see an O/G specialist who can tailor a regimen for you.
So now you have some options, don't feel bad, just because you are different doesn't make you any less than any other person. Remember you are unique and even if no one else does, God will always love you.

you have confused the young woman and now you saying one ovary can ovulate a month?
for a normal woman with two ovaries ovulating a month , my deductions is she can conceive twice in a month. the normal situation for human kind would be non identical twins at birth for 95% woman arround the world.yu doctor tru or noghut mitla wankain tasol...

The body is a fail-safe system, that means that where you have two organs one can perform the action of the other if one organ is damaged or not otherwise present.
For this reason, kidney, lung and liver transplants work. You can survive with one kidney because it can meet the strain that is placed upon it, mind you if you drink alcohol or take nephrotoxic substances you may die from renal failure more quickly. You can survive with one lung because you use only a small fraction of your total lung capicity (The maximum volume of air that you can maintain in your lungs at any one time), similar a liver lobectomy works because you don't use all of it to filter out impurities and nutrients. There is a functional reserve in the body that allows such things.
Similarly after an operation called an oophorectomy (ovarian removal) the remaining ovary takes up the strain and will usually ovulate every month.
Hope that clears up the confusion

Hi everyone, just wanna say thanks to you all for your positive comments and encouraging words. After reading all your responses, I have also decided to read widely on this issue of mine and have discovered that my predicament is quite normal.
It is said that on "average", women have menstruation every 28 days or monthly. But that does not mean it has to be for female. Some may have thiers as often as every two weeks while others may have thiers every three months. There are certain factors that may also delay or hurry the onset of menstruation like stress, etc. But in any case, if a female is healthy and lives a healthy lifestyle then there's no cause to worry about. So yeah, I guess I have discovered that my predicament is quite normal.
