Period talk: Questions and advice
in Women's Health ·
Hey there... so this is my first time posting here and I’m honestly looking for some advice because I went through some really painful stress-induced bleeding last year, and now, every little spot of blood just sends me into a total panic...
My period isn't due for another six days, and while things are usually pretty regular, I am sexually active without protection, though nothing actually goes inside me...
Yesterday, I started getting this intense pain in my ovaries that seemed to radiate all the way to my kidneys and my lower back. Then, this dark blood showed up along with some discharge—it felt just like my period starting, but then by yesterday evening, it stopped. It wasn't much, just turned into this dark discharge, and then this morning there was absolutely nothing, just a tiny bit of bright red spotting on the tissue... but I still have all those typical PMS symptoms, you know? Sore breasts, bloating, and that sharp little twinge in my stomach and back...
Now I’m scrolling online and reading that it could be pregnancy, which feels weird since it took us forever to conceive our first child, but then I see stuff about tumors and bleeding and now I'm just terrified... please, if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it...
