Brief Answer:
No need to worry about periods.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Sometimes, a period maybe anovulatory ( without egg formation ).
SUch periods are often painless.
So do not worry about it.
You can take a multivitamin anyway to boost overall health and immunity.
Testing for vitamin deficiency is more expensive than taking vitamins, and anyway, taking one daily will only benefit you.
SO please go ahead and take it.
And do not worry about your periods, if they are regular.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.

someone mentioned it could be perimenopause. but I don't have night sweats or hot flashes. I do have high stress though, and I wonder if this affects ovulation

Answered by Dr. Aarti Abraham (5 hours later)

Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
30 is too early for peri menopause.
Stress definitely affects ovulation and periods also.
Lots of other natural factors - sleep, diet, exercise, travelling, smoking, alcohol, medications.
Any minor change in any of these can affect ovulation.
So do not worry about it.
Take care.
