I have no defiante signs of symptoms inbetween the dates above. Is this normal or is there an underlying problem? It is important to know if your menstrual cycle was regular when it started.

Regardless if your period was regular or not a few years ago, I strongly suggest for you to see a doctor whenever possible to determine the root cause of the menstrual irregularities and avoid serious consequences.
