You didn't mention how many days it actually lasted.
I went through the exact same thing about ten years ago. I started spotting on day 15 of my cycle—nine days after my period ended. Honestly, there wasn't even any pain; I just went to the bathroom and saw blood on my underwear. I can't say for sure, but I think it only lasted maybe two or three days, if that. It was ages ago. When I asked my boyfriend what was going on, he just told me it was part of being a 😕. And get this—he actually smiled while saying it! Like, "Oh, don't worry, it's nothing serious." Then he goes on with the whole "other women experience this too" routine. Me: "But what about hormones? Or cysts?" Him: "Like I said, other women..."
Looking back now, that entire year my periods were incredibly painful, which was totally unusual for me. Maybe it was stress? Who knows. Now, things feel even worse than before, even though I don't have those specific menstrual issues anymore.
So yeah, go ahead and act like you know everything.
Well, my period usually lasts about 6 or 7 days... but my stomach is hurting so bad right now. It's never usually this painful when I'm on schedule. I've been leaking for two days now, just like when I'm actually on my period... I don't know. 🤷
Seriously, being a woman is just a total nightmare...🤣
