[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14yo DD had her first period last summer and only a handful of others since; the last three cycles have been about four months apart. Her pediatrician says this is totally normal and that in time a more regular schedule will appear. Trouble is, she has awful PMS (the likes of which I've never experienced), with a range of challenging symptoms: nausea, diarrhea, cold-like symptoms, overall malaise. These don't occur all at once but sequentially, over a period of about 2 weeks. I can't help but think that her extreme PMS has something to do with the current length of her cycles, and am hoping that when she menstruates with greater frequency her symptoms will lessen.

Can anyone shed any light on this?[/quote]

This was me.  I have never had regular periods. Generally its @ once every 45-60 days in my 20/30s.  My OB says as long as its 6 in 12 mo should be ok.  I do have pretty bad PMS and it seems to be worse the longer the time is.  I have no other health issues.  Perhaps investigate more but i've had multiple OBs. None have ever been concerned as i have no other health symptoms or troubles.  [/quote]
