Why are my periods irregular? Details…….?
I am 38 and have had two children. I have had normal periods my whole life. (28 days apart) About two years ago I experimented and took some resveratrol. (red wine extract)
When I had taken it for a day and a half I started my period early. Since it was early so I thought it was the resveratrol. (That’s the only thing that changed.) When I read about it, I found out that it is also used to regulate the menstrual cycle. (Well it un-regulated mine! And I discontinued taking it.)
It took about 3-6 months for my period to be regular again. After that point my periods have shortened to about 24 days. But I am concerned because as of today the last two periods have been 21 days apart.
Did I do something to my body by taking the resveratrol? (That’s when this all started.) Or is this a natural thing for my body to go through? Please advise.

Maybe your going through early menopause. When the ovaries stop working at a very early age, anywhere from the age of puberty to age 40, this is known as premature ovarian failure (POF), also commonly referred to as "premature menopause" or "early menopause." 1% of women experience POF, and this is not considered to be due to the normal effects of aging. Some known causes of premature menopause include autoimmune disorders, thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, however, in the majority of spontaneous cases, the cause is unknown. I don’t know if thats what it is, but thats just a little info that may help you!
it is a natural thing that you are going through, provided nothing else is out of sync.
