“When will I get my Periods?” – Monalisa’s Story of Hormonal Imbalance, Mood Swings & Healing

If you are a woman, chances are, parts of Monalisa’s story may feel deeply familiar. Because sometimes, irregular periods are not just about delayed dates on a calendar.

Sometimes, they quietly become part of everyday life. The waiting. The worrying. The wondering. And for Monalisa, that feeling lasted longer than she expected.

There was a time when Monalisa stopped waiting for her period. Because waiting had become exhausting. Sometimes it came after a month. Sometimes after two. Sometimes even four. And after years of uncertainty, she had quietly stopped expecting regularity at all.

At 25, while pursuing her B.Ed. and dreaming of becoming a teacher, Monalisa had already spent years adjusting her life around something many women are told is “normal” to ignore. Irregular periods. 

But for her, it never really felt normal. Because when your body feels unpredictable for years, it slowly begins affecting more than just your cycle. It affects how you feel inside too.

It Started Quietly

Monalisa, from Odisha, remembers things changing sometime after her 10th exams. At first, it felt small. A delayed period here. Another there. Nothing alarming. Just something easy to dismiss.

But slowly, the delays stretched longer. One month. Then two. Sometimes even four. What started as occasional irregularity quietly became part of everyday life. And maybe if you’ve experienced something similar, you know this feeling too.

Constantly wondering: Will it come this month? Should I be worried? Why is my body suddenly behaving differently?

Sometimes the uncertainty feels heavier than the problem itself. For Monalisa, it slowly became something she simply learned to live around.

The Doctor Visits That Felt Familiar

Like many women do, Monalisa visited a doctor hoping for clarity. She was told it was hormonal imbalance and prescribed medicines. And for a while, things seemed okay.

“When I took the medicines, periods came.”

Maybe this feels familiar too. You visit a doctor. You take the medicines. For some time, things feel better. And quietly, hope returns. Maybe this time things will stay okay.

But then the medicines stop. And somehow, the same problems slowly find their way back.

For Monalisa, that is exactly what happened. As long as she was taking the medicines, things felt manageable. But after stopping, the delays returned. Again. And again. And after a point, the disappointment becomes difficult to explain. Because it isn’t only about delayed periods anymore. It becomes the emotional tiredness of trying, hoping, and ending up back in the same place.

When It Starts Affecting Your Everyday Life

Sometimes hormonal imbalance doesn’t only affect your body. Sometimes, it changes how you feel inside your own life. For Monalisa, mood swings slowly became part of everyday life. There was irritability. Hormonal acne. Body discomfort.

And then there was something harder to explain. She stopped wanting to meet people.

“I liked staying alone.”

Not because she suddenly wanted distance. But because feeling emotionally settled had started becoming difficult. If you’ve experienced hormonal imbalance, maybe you know this feeling too. When little things begin irritating you. When emotions feel heavier than usual. When socialising feels tiring for reasons you cannot fully explain. And when you slowly stop feeling like yourself.

For Monalisa, that phase stayed longer than she expected. What began after school quietly stretched into years.

A Recommendation That Felt Worth Trying

Healing does not always arrive in big ways. Sometimes, it enters through an ordinary conversation. For Monalisa, it came through a friend. Someone suggested she try Nari Sondarya Malt.

At first, she did not order it immediately. She searched. Google reviews. YouTube videos. Other people’s experiences. Like many of us do before trusting something new. And slowly, she decided to give it a chance.

Interestingly, she ordered the larger jar the very first time. Why? Because somewhere, she already believed something simple:

“Natural things take time.”

That trust in Ayurveda felt familiar to her. Gentler. Slower. But worth trying.

The First Sign Something Was Changing

Sometimes healing arrives loudly. And sometimes, it arrives quietly enough to make you pause. Wait… could this actually be helping?

For Monalisa, one of the first changes came sooner than she expected. Around 15 days after starting Nari Sondarya Malt, her period arrived. After long months of unpredictability, that felt meaningful. 

But there was something else she noticed too. Her body felt calmer. The body pain and stomach discomfort she had been carrying slowly started easing.

“At first, I wondered whether it would work or not… but then I felt relaxed.”

Simple words. But if you’ve ever carried discomfort for a long time, you know relief often feels quiet at first. Not dramatic. Just lighter.

The Change Someone Else Noticed First

Healing is always in resorts.  For Monalisa, it arrived through something a friend casually said.

“You’ve started looking happier.”

And somehow, that stayed with her. Because the irritability had reduced. The mood swings no longer felt as intense. She no longer felt like isolating herself all the time.

“Now I feel okay.”

Quiet Trust

Today, Monalisa still keeps it simple. Warm water on some days. Warm milk, when available.

Living away from home as a student does not always leave room for perfect routines. But somewhere between busy days and daily life, this became one small ritual she stayed consistent with.

Even before finishing her first jar, she had already ordered another one. Not out of pressure. But reassurance. Because when something finally starts feeling better after years of struggle, you hold on to it gently.

Feeling More Like Herself Again

Healing journeys rarely look dramatic while you are living them. Sometimes, they look quieter than that. Feeling calmer. Wanting to meet people again. Having fewer difficult days.

Or hearing someone casually say: “You seem happier now.”

For Monalisa, maybe that was the biggest change of all. Not perfection. Not suddenly having everything figured out. Just slowly, quietly… Feeling a little more like herself again.

Note to the Reader

Every woman’s body is different, and healing journeys are deeply personal. Monalisa’s experience reflects her own story with menstrual irregularity and her relationship with Nari Sondarya Malt and Ayurveda. What works for one person may not look the same for another and listening to your body always matters most.
