asked

I am newly married and concerned about my wife, who is 30 years old and has missed her periods. She took emergency contraceptive pills (2 pills) in a week and had her last menstrual period on February 18th. She usually gets her periods every 26 days, but in March and April, she only had minor spotting/bleeding. She has taken four negative pregnancy tests. What could be causing this and should we wait for her cycles to normalize or consult a local doctor?

I have been experiencing irregular periods for the last three months. I am 23 years old, not on any birth control, and my last period started on September 22nd. I usually get cramps but haven't had any this time. The bleeding is not heavy but not light either. I have some stress but no weight changes. I suspect I might have endometriosis due to the pain I usually experience during my periods, but this one has been less painful so far. What could be causing my irregular periods and what tests or treatments should I consider?
