Irregular periods

Hi , my dd has just turned 20 and her periods have always been a bit irregular or late but this month she’s come on 2 weeks after her last period
Any advice ? Im thinking it’s a one off it could be stress but on the other side it could be anything hormonal . I’ve advised her to monitor it and if the same thing happens again to see the Dr
Has anyone else had this happen ?

My cycle has always been anywhere between 11 and 57 days. I also had extremely painful and heavy periods. The pill can regulate it but if not she may be told it’s normal.

Thanks for your reply her periods are painful and long this is a first with a 2 week cycle
I’m just wondering if she should have a check up for Endometriosis

Irregular periods at her age are quite common, and a one-off early cycle can happen due to stress or hormonal changes.
If it doesn’t repeat, it’s usually nothing to worry about.
