My wife does not get regular periods, which she has been to the doctor but no luck. Anyone had the same issue and tried something that worked. Please suggest ...
As when she is over due she can be a really bitch. I just can't do anything right.

is she more tired when overdue? i know i feel wiped out at this time and what helped me was to get more rest and not do anything that needed doing. would've been nice if my ex had helped out more but he didn't so i just cut back on stuff myself.
dunno about medication or anything, never tired any myself, but i do not get pmt at all, just the tiredness. |

Well she does have a lot on her plate. I.e kids, job & house duties. I do try and help but currently I have 3 jobs just to make ends meet. |

I have pcos so have very unregular/no periods.
Missing periods is due to hormone imbalances.
Return to the doctors and insist on blood test for high testosterone/fsh levels etc.
And as for mood swings, hormones are to blame and us women don't really mean what say when hormonal 
Good luck |

that's shit for you both.
i coped with doing loads until before my period then i was a mess and just wanted to sleep or at least not have to think for everybody else, which is what happens when you have kids. that's what caused me to get moody and tbh it can sometimes be so draining you can't even think.
taking on less housework worked for me, getting the kids to watch DVDs in bed with me while i had a nap worked but only coz my kids were good like that and not all kids would let you have rest without sneaking off or getting up to something. my ex eventually started cooking meals when i went on strike as well but he only had a part time job and could have helped out more anyway.
not sure what else i could advise really. |

"Forgot to say some birth controls can stop or make periods irregular "
She was on birth control, but doctors said stop and see how you get on. Which she has but no luck. |

Thanks you have been very helpful. As having a busy life could be a big part as problem did start as we got the extra work load. |

She needs to see your GP of she has no periods at all.
I had this issue a few years ago whilst having cervical cancer treatment found out I had pcos my gyni said to me a body need to have a least two cycles a year or there is an increase risk of womb cancer.
I was given a drug called nosthisterone which brought on a cycle this drug is also used for women who bleed too much.
It sounds mean but if she's carrying a bit of extra weight this also won't help and can hinder a cycle that was par my problem also having pcos weight loss is a bloody issue so it's like being caught between the devil and deep blue to be honest. I've lost a considerable amount of weight (still a big lass) but my cycles now work and I can pin point it to the day. |

probably is that if she's coping any other time. no idea why periods make some of us really tired but it is horrible and sometimes you feel like you're going mental.
if you try that DVD thing then try it before she gets to the tired stage, make it a part of your routine already and see how it goes when you can deal with it. making new routines when already tired and struggling probably won't work out and new routines with kids tend not to work striahgt away either.
if the kids are still fairly little you might even be able to get them to nap with her. if older maybe napping on the sofa will help for her while they amuse themselves. i've even let my kids have extra computer game time to get some peace and don't feel guilty about it. sometimes you just need a rest. |
