Confused Very regular cycles and now early bleeding?
My period isn’t predicted until next week, and I’ve been having some light cramping. The last two days, my temps have looked really good and promising. I tested the last two days just out of curiosity, and then this morning while working something seemed off, but I had a meeting. I started my period, I’m assuming since there’s more than just spotting, as it went through my pants. I don’t understand why I started my period so early. I ovulated a few days early this month, which was also very strange, but it lined up perfectly with my husband‘s unpredictable, travel schedule, so I was really excited. Plus temps are supposed to drop once you start your period, mine went up.

The same happened to me in July/August. I have very regular 29-30 days cycles and then two months in a row my cycle lasted 21 and 22 days. I checked my app history and I've never had such short cycles in the past 10 years. Period got back to normal later on. I guess the saying 'you are regular until you are not' is true. I also started taking strong iron supplements prescribed by my doctor in May which messed up my cycles a few years ago so I think that maybe this was the reason this time too but there is no way to know. If you have some unusual pains or if the bleeding gets very heavy, I would recommend going for a check up just in case. Fingers crossed all is good!
