OBGYN,  's  Response
Hi,
The pattern of menstruation sometimes gets changed from the usual 30-day to 60-day. So long as a regular pattern is followed with no excessive bleeding, there is no reason to worry. Such changes can occur when there is a prolonged or delayed ovulation owing to some hormonal imbalance; this could be due to stress, obesity, certain medications, infections or constitutional. To rule out any organic cause, you should get investigated along with a proper evaluation by a gynecologist. Hope this helps.
