Condition analysis: 
When periods start they can be irregular for quite a while-up to 12 months in fact. A normal cycle can be as long as 35 days. If you have had your period for over 12months and it is still irregular, have a chat to you GP.

Instructions: 
1. Iron Intake For Irregular Periods: Women who have low amounts of iron in their blood, may have a reduced menstrual flow because iron forms an important part of your red blood cells.Therefore, intake of foods that contains iron is quite necessary.

2. Asafetida: Asafetida is the herb which is beneficial in regulating the menstrual cycle. It increases the production of progesterone and hence, is an effective one amongst the ‘home remedies for irregular periods’.

3. Avoid Stress: If you go to a doctor to complain about having irregular periods, the second or third question they will ask you would be "are you taking any stress?"Stress does not only cause irregularity of periods but is also the reason behind many other health disorders. So to improve the regularity of periods, women must try to reduce their stress levels as much as possible.
