Period talk: Questions and advice
in Women's Health ·
Here’s the deal:
My period was four days late this month😲, but before that, I had this super light spotting for about eight days. The weirdest part was that the actual heavy bleeding only lasted about an hour😲—like, I swear 80% of the flow happened in that one single hour.😲 That intense burst ended with a large clot, and then it just settled back into my usual pattern, like on day three, though it was much lighter than what I normally experience on my first day. I didn't have any cramps at all, which is strange because usually there's some level of pain, but this time? Nothing.
Has anyone dealt with this or got any advice?!
P.S. I'm waiting for my OBGYN to get back from vacation so I can book an appointment; I need to wait until at least day 10 of my cycle for a Pap smear (today is day 5, and the bleeding has basically stopped... whereas it usually lasts 5 or 6 days...😲). My cycle is such a total mystery right now... I'm even starting to wonder if it could be pregnancy-related, like a chemical pregnancy or early miscarriage (I've been reading up on it), especially since the complete lack of pain is throwing me off completely...🤷
Anyone? 😕
