I am 44 years old. I just stopped bleeding 4 days ago after having my regular period which usually lasts a week. I started again today. this has never happened before. Very concerned
View 1 RepliesI started bleeding 3 days after my period it started light but continued to get very heavy using 3-4 pads a day then a few days ago it started to slow down and showed signs of stopping when the red turned to brown but restarted again, My period is due in 9 days and this definitely doesn't feel like a period too me.
I'm not on the pill as i was having issues and came off it last year since i stopped using the combined pill my period has sorted itself out a lot.
I don't think i am pregnant as even if i was bleeding for this long would mean a issue?
about 11 days into my cycle I get slight pink discharge for one day and then camping till my period comes I'm only cramp free about ten days does anyone else get this I'm not on the pill or anything I have two kids and all my smears are fine had scans for ovary cyst etc, could this just be ovulation problems that go on till I take my period?
View 3 RepliesI need to adjust my thyroid supplement therapy. I won't be able to see any of my doctors (GP, gynecologist, endocrinologist) for at least a month. Waiting list is that long.
I have PCOS and Hashimoto's (treated with T4 and T3). My periods have been regular (between 28 and 35 days) since I was 12. However, this month I had my period barely three weeks after the last one. It usually lasts for about 5 days, however today's my 7th day and it doesn't look as if it's going to stop. I've seen my gynecologist twice this august, and all the results were fine.
It's certainly due to overmedication. My endo increased the dosage of my medication 4 months ago. Since then, I tested my TSH and got bad result - 0,1.
She has decreased my dose since, but the result remains the same - 0,1. I'm aware that I need professional help, but I must do something. I can't continue my therapy like this. Any advice on how to decrease the dosage from 50 mg levothyroxine (T3) and 50 mg euthyral (T4 and T3) would save me.
I was quite late to start my periods- 16 and they lasted for roughly a year or so very irregular. They went away to costa rica and by the time i returned about 3 months later and i had turned 17 my periods had stopped. I haven't had my periods since, i have however been to the doctors several times, they have taken my blood and seem to have found no symptoms- they just told me they will return soon. One said it was because i was too thin, i am quite slim but no more than some of my friends and i eat a lot. It took quite a bit of effort but recently gained a little weight- i travel quite a bit (asia, south and central America, af) and was wondering if it was possible i have some kind of parasite. I'm 19 almost 20- there must be something up.
View 1 RepliesI recently went to my doctor because pretty much since I started my period at 14, I've experience really bad cramps. The issue however is not that, my problem is that throughout the month regardless if I am due or not I get period cramps, or what I can only explain as "period cramps" as that is the closest thing it feels like, its defiantly within that region. I was tested for any STD's or ovarian cancer which all came back clear and then sent to hospital for an ultra sound to see if I had ovarian cysts or anything like that, again it all came back clear. I've had regular smear tests as well and I've never had any irregularities. So now I'm really confused and although I guess relieved that its none of the above, I'm now left pretty anxious and confused as I still have no idea what is happening. I've a pretty high pain threshold but these are really uncomfortable and sore and I cant just ignore the issue. I don't get discharge, blood or anything, just a sudden shooting pain in that area and it lasts a couple of seconds, and then goes. It can happen at anytime of the month and I'm really scared at what it is. Anyone have any ideas or experienced the same thing? I just want to put a name to its scary face that i have created!
View 4 RepliesA few days before my period I basically lose control of my urination. If I can't get to the bathroom as soon as I feel the urge I will wet my pants. I don't remember this before I had kids... if it did happen it was not as extreme as it is now. Anyone know what is going on?!
View 1 RepliesLast month, I had a very light period that only lasted two days. After that, I had bad cramps in my hips and pelvic area. They lasted for about two weeks or so. Yesterday, I finally got my period. But when I woke up today, I had leaked, and bled through my underwear and pants. This isn't really normal for me, I've never had a leak before. I'm guessing that my period is a lot heavier than it usually is.
I'm 14, and I know that my period isn't supposed to regulate for about 2 or 3 years, but is this something I should be concerned about? I could just be working myself up over nothing, but anything that isn't normal terrifies me.
I've been on my period for 12 days. I've been on birth control for 4 months now and the previous 2 months my period has come a week early, so I've just keep taking the pills as usual (so the first week of my period I was taking the birth control and the second week were placebo pills). This month it was a week and a half early and I'm still having heavy bleeding and clotting. What could be going on and what can I do?
View 1 RepliesI have been having what I can only describe as leakage for the past 2 months. I bleed for tops two days every week. I just want my normal menstrual cycle back. I have been very stressed out with my college courses and have started up a new intense workout in the past two months... Is that what has been causing this? If so, how can I make it stop? (I've also been having big arguments with my mom)
View 1 RepliesI came on my period from August 28 until Sep. 3 and now 9 days later I am back on. Sep 12th. I am 46 years old, what is happening to me?
View 1 RepliesI'm on this pill and lately I've found I'm bleeding everyday. Not much but there is still bleeding. When I was put on this pill I was told there could be spotting but it's almost everyday. Also I've found that when I do stop bleeding and have sex the bleeding starts again. Is this normal on this pill? Or should I be really concerned about this?
View 5 RepliesI'm 23 and experienced 3 weeks of heavy bleeding so my gp prescribed me norethisterone. I had blood tests and swabs which were fine except my thyroid TSH was high. I took 1 tablet three times daily for 10 days and the heavy bleeding did not stop until nearly the end of the course. I have been on the depo injection for years and tuesday gone have now changed to the mini pill cerazette which is basically the same. I started to bleed like the nurse told me i would after stopping the tablets from wednesday but today experienced a large amount of dark clots and heavy bleeding. Is this normal? Nurse said if i had clots to go back to see her and gave me another prescription for norethisterone but i don't want to start taking them again as i had bad headaches and i have gained 10lbs in weight. Help anyone? I was off work for 2 weeks and can't be off again as it made me weak and tired
View 3 RepliesI'm in dying need for some answers and unfortunately I've been to 6 different clinics but every place tells me that I cannot get in to see a doctor because they aren't accepting new patients. Still on the hunt though and if no luck in a few days I will just go to a walk-in clinic (not sure how serious this situation is)!
I normally have a 28 day cycle with the exception of it being either a couple days early or a couple days late from time to time. I just finished my period on June 30 and my ovulation date was around July 10 (according to a period tracking app). Well, my boyfriend and I had intercourse that night and right after we were done I had really bad "period-like" cramping along with some nausea but it only lasted about 10 mins. We thought that maybe he had hit the cervix but didn't really think much of it as the pain stopped and nothing further happened. However, the day after (July 11) around 5-6 at night I went to the bathroom and noticed there was some pink when I wiped. Then on July 12 I experienced some more cramping and assumed that my period was coming but again I only had some light red bleeding but not heavy bleeding (spotting, i think? i've never had spotting before). This spotting has lasted seven days now and not sure when it will end. It cant be my period because my period isn't expected until July 24 which would mean that it came 13 days early and in all the years I've had my period for this has never happened! I'm so confused!
My period usually starts with severely painful cramps for the first two days, sore breasts, and a heavy flow. It lasts for 5 days. I haven't experienced symptoms like tender breast or any changes in sleeping. The only thing I can think of is a bit of nausea. I read that it might be implantation bleeding or ovulation bleeding (NEVER experienced that before) but im not sure? I'm pretty worried that maybe something could be seriously wrong.
I am 21 and I have PCOS. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for about a year. My periods were regular until I had a possible miscarriage last winter. I had multiple doctors trying to get me back on track. My period ended 9 days ago. Today is my day of ovulation, and last night my husband and I had sex, but this morning i had slight cramping and then I noticed I was bleeding a little bit (it had mucus in it) when I went to the bathroom. Could it be because I'm suppose to be ovulationg? I've never experienced this before.
View 2 RepliesI got my menstrual cycle twice for the month. Just wondering what could cause it to occur and has this happened to anyone else on here?
View 2 RepliesI have had high blood pressure since 2009. My medication will control it until around my menstrual cycle. I will have horrible headaches that turn into migraines and my blood pressure will jump to 180/110 and stay there for a few days. My doctor stated that it is stress related, but my question is: if it is stress related, why do I just have these horrific headaches and my blood pressure skyrocket just around my menstrual? I can't find the answer. I have researched it and have ask my physician, but no new light has been shed. Does anyone have any information?
View 1 RepliesOk so last month my periods were a week later than usual, does this mean my periods will remain late all the time now? Or should they go back to normal?
View 1 RepliesI've been on 100 mg Nortriptyline for months now for my chronic migraines and one night I felt like I was suffocating so I stopped taking them cold turkey. It's been about a week since I stopped them. Is there any chance it will affect my menstrual cycle? While taking them, it was never at the same time, it was always early or late so I'm not sure what to do.
View 1 RepliesI've been on my period for about 7 months now. However I've been on my period once before for a entire year. I don't remember when I started or when it stopped, considering remembering things isn't on the top of my to do list. I'm 20 years old and since I started 7 months ago, I've only had one day without a period. Since then, it's been a constant heavy flow.
View 1 RepliesI am 19 years old and was taking yaz (which worked very well in regulating my period). I happened to loose the pack of pills with two weeks remaining. Since then, I have had sex with him ejaculating and my menstrual cycle has not come in 6 weeks? Is there a possibility that i may be pregnant?
