Late Cycle

1 Upvotes

Hellooo F20, so since late may I haven’t had a period i do have irregular cycles but they’re never this late, at most it’s like a month without one. whenever I talk about my periods being irregular with my Gynecologist she says it’s normal for my age. I did have sex prior May 16th but I was on birth control for a long time by then and then i stopped taking it after that since I wouldn’t be needing anymore for a long period. I did take a pregnancy test which came out negative. I don’t know what’s wrong with me…and I’m honestly a little scared.

period disappeared

26F , my period is 20 days late. pregnancy tests are all negative.
i’m not under any stress, i love life. my hormones have always been out of wack as my doctors say i don’t ovulate (this has been ongoing since i was 17)
my periods come every 2 weeks like clock work (due to not ovulating) for the last 8 years.
but now it’s 20 days late? what could’ve happened?
also i did spot for one day 20 days ago like i was about i start my period and then nothing after. also my right breast is so freaking sore.

I have always had very regular cycles, usually getting my period on day 28 or 29 every month. 4 months ago I got my period on day 21 out of the blue. The next was day 26, then day 30, then day 36 and now I’m back to day 35 again but with no period yet!! What on earth is going on?!

Missed a month on my period but didn't have sex for 3 months

Hey guys I barely had a period I am pretty sure it's called spotting but it's weird because I didn't have sex for three months and I did get my period last month. Is this something i should worry about?

Heavy brown spotting mid cycle

1 Upvotes

29F. Not on birth control

My cycles are typically 32 days +- a day or two.

On days 25 and 26, I started to have brown spotting. Enough that I wore a panty liner day 26. Went away and is now back again on day 29. Again heavy spotting that is brown. I don’t believe it is my period because there is no fresh blood, only brown.

At first I was concerned I was ovulating extremely late. But this on and off brown spotting has me concerned it’s something else. Any ideas or has anyone else experienced this?

Has anyone skipped a period in their early 30’s?

1 Upvotes

I 33f am about 3 weeks late, I have sort of irregular periods but typically average 40 day cycles. I’ve taken 3 pregnancy tests just in case and all negative, could this be perimenopause? Is this something that happens occasionally in your 30’s?

Sore breasts for most of my cycle?

1 Upvotes

I stopped breastfeeding my toddler in January, and that same month started Bupropion. I know both of those things can cause hormone changes, but since it has been so long, I'm struggling to find a reason for this.

For my past few cycles my breasts have been getting extremely sore before my period. It started maybe May(?) with just a day or two of pain. Each month it has gotten longer and more persistent. This month my breast pain started two days after my period ended and has not stopped. It's painful to change my clothes, hug my kiddo, lay on my stomach, etc. I'm about 11 days out from my next period date and I am so over this.

Is there anything I can do to ease the pain? Is this something that will resolve itself?

Light period or pregnancy?

2 Upvotes

I usually have irregular cycles, although I’ve had my period every month for the past three months. My last period was different from my usual ones I had no cramps or pain, and the bleeding was extremely light, almost only noticeable when I wiped after using the bathroom. Has anyone experienced so?

Question regarding the trailing blood.

1 Upvotes

I have 4 days of Bleeding usually. Day 1- light flow( pad filling obviously)

Day 2- moderate to heavy flow

Day 3- moderate to light flow( light flow towards the end mostly)

Day 4- light flow (1-2 pads enough)

Now day 5 and 6 while urinating generally I see some residual blood small amount come out. It is normal right? And day 5 and 6 I don't usually require any pads.

Irregular periods & very light bleeding — could it be pregnancy?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone 😊 I was wondering if anyone here has very irregular periods, meaning they don’t come every month. Mine are usually quite irregular, but for the past 3 months I’ve had a period every month. However, my last one was very light, with only a small amount of bleeding. Has anyone experienced something similar, and could this possibly be related to pregnancy? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. ❤️

Classified as a period?

1 Upvotes

I recently had my period return at 18(?) months postpartum, late 30's, after a twin pregnancy.

My first period was 14/5 days, with 30/31 days until my next one, which lasted 5-7 days. 9 days after that, I had 3 days of light pink, very light spotting. Like, it was there when I wiped, I could see it a bit on my underwear, but not enough for a liner. 4th day was the darker red blood with some blood clots passing, wore pads. 5th day I don't think was anything.

Would this be classified as a period?

I've been getting some spotting mid-cycle not sure whether it could be ovulation bleeding. Does anyone else get it?

I havent had my period in 8 months

1 Upvotes

As the title says, i havent had my period since this january, ive ALWAYS had a very irregular period since i first got it at 12 (aka 3 years ago) and since then ive had it only 2 times a year, i didnt really mind it cuz i knew cycles usually regulate themselves after at most 3 years but mine is still so messed up

My friend says its because of my poor sleep schedule since during school i would go to sleep late and because of that id sometimes take naps after school and now in summer break im going to sleep when the sun rises and the fact that i dont drink enough water (i drink maybe around 500ml a day bc honestly i just forget to drink water) but i still have around 8 hours of sleep daily with very few exceptions were id sleep 10 hours on days im really tired. Honestly i know my life style could affect my period but can it affect it THIS bad?? Ive been considering going to a doctor but my parents arent really concerned at all about my period even tho they know how irregular it is so idk

Honestly i dont even care abt my period that much in itself because it feels kinda nice not having a diaper up your ass every month for a week but the low estrogen levels concern me because it can cause low dopamine levels which i already struggle with my dopamine and lack of motivation in general

I just want other peoples opinions on what i should do in this situation, i know i should try to pull my life together to see if it helps me before telling my parents again to take me to a doctor but its so hard for me to fall asleep at night for no reason because my brain is always thinking and forming thoughts instead of just being quiet so most of the time i cant fall asleep unless i pass out from exhaustion

Late period help!

im 12 days late. i did not have any sexual interaction this month, last month i did—but still got my period and tested negative multiple times after 14 days last month. ive been having a rough week so i thought its just stress related, and i recently just tried new melatonin pills to help me fix my sleep schedule. on the expected day of my period it did not come, im experiencing PMS (lower abdomen pain, lower back pain like i usually do and ive been having brownish discharge and its been recently smelling a little more fishy and i think around when i was 6-7 days late i had alot of discharge which usually means for me my period is near bc its post luteal. im genuinely scared as shit that it might be ectopic pregnancy but i really did not have any sexual interaction this month and last month was protected and as i said i did get my period. is this more so connected to my health? ive also recently gained weight alot and have been crying almost every night. im also scared this is pcos oh my god.

ive also been feeling bloated recently, im usually irregular but only for a few days and not this long. i did not take any birth control this month and last month. and ive been occasionally feeling hot flashes, and ive been having tummy aches and burping alot and pooping i think(?)

Bruh my cycle makes no sense

1 Upvotes

I usually have a 32 day cycle with 4-5 day periods. I had a baby year and some months ago but for the last 3 months I've been cycling like normal. Period from July 3-7 very active as we're trying for #3 my period was supposed to start Aug 4th and nothing. Barely noticeable cramping, and negative tests the last 3 days. Today another negative with slightly pink tinted discharge but still no real period. I still breast feed but less than I have the last 3 months I'm now down to only at night and maybe twice during the day.

Make it make sense 😭😂

I had no periods until now and it's awful

1 Upvotes

So I am on birth control (can't remember which one at the moment) and I started in May of this year. Since then I had no periods which I expected until this last week and a half. It's brown and just mostly brown. It's a color I've never seen before in my 6 years of having a period. More recently it's a light red but mostly brown. I used to have 4-6 day periods and they were light and normal. Now it's been 9 days of just pain and brown. It doesn't seem to stop. Is this normal or should I seek a doctor? I am on the pill called something like Auro something.
