Top 5 Home Remedies of Irregular Period
In woman reproductive years,having menstruation monthly, quarterly or even once a year is a sign that your reproductive organs are being busy in doing her job.
But,many women find this as an added difficulty in everyday life.Why? Because some women out there are struggling tough to combat the pain that come along with menstruation.Stabbing pain from waist down to legs,painful cramps, headache,chills,and sometimes fever!

According to one of my ob gynecology, regular menstruation ranges from 21days up to 35 days from your current menstruation up to your next menstruation.Everything that goes onto that days are still considered regular menstruation.Well,how about Irregular menstruation then?
Irregular menstruation said to be irregular or not usual,when your menstruation comes before the said 21 days or later than that 35 days. Some women considered regular even if they have their period quarterly or once a year, they're are particularly special cases.On the other hand, menstruation occurred during in-between cycle is not usual, especially if it's continuingly occuring every month.So if your period suddenly changes from your average length and flow, it's a sign that your period is irregular.
