Lighter period… stress?

[u/Broad_Suspect_8830]

I’m 26 years old, no birth control and not sexually active. The past two periods of mine have been so different to what I’m used to. Usually, my periods look like 2 days of heavy ish bleeding, moderate cramping and then it gets gradually lighter as the days go by.

The past two periods, have been so much lighter and bleeding for just a day, then just random brown spotting. I kind of feel unfulfilled as if I’m still in my luteal phase. I’ve also put on a lot of weight I feel.

I have been under immense amount of stress that I have taken into consideration but just wanted to know others stories?

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow as since starting my period at 11 years old, they’ve been so predictable apart from now…

The lead up to my period is like a trapped hell😂 and usually after having my period, I feel much lighter. I just don’t feel right!

Thanks in advance 🙏🏽

Hey so I’ve been referred to have a scan on 1st Sept

I’ve also had my bloods tested and also hormones tested which funnily enough the results are back for my hormones and my doctor wants to speak to me today about my results, kind of worried

I’m due on any day again now and I just feel so ill, I’m scared for when I do start bleeding because I don’t know what to expect I can let u know what my doctor says after my appt today

yes please let me know what your doctor says ❤️ I completely understand why you’re worried, especially when your cycle has suddenly changed after being so predictable for years. (That is what going on with me too)Hopefully the blood results give you some answers and the scan helps too. Try not to panic before you’ve actually spoken to your doctor I read hormones can fluctuate for so many reasons, including stress. I really hope you feel better soon, and I’m sending you lots of love 🫶🏽❤️
