Period problems


Posted: May 31, 2011

This may be too much info for some of you guys, so sorry in advance!

My period is normally a very heavy flow with terrible cramps and lasts 6 to 8 days.  Lucky me, I know.  Last month it was normal (well, what I consider normal for me).  This month it was like 1 day of spotting and that was it.  I did have a bit of cramping, but this is not normal for me.  I haven't had sex in a couple months and my period last month was normal so I doubt I am pregnant.

Any ideas?

Depending on your age, could be early menopause (sm) - MyT_WannyMT

I am totally guessing of course. I would suggest seeking an opinion of a medical doctor or OB/GYN. My doctor told me my cycle would get worse before menopause and he did not lie. I am having my cycle now every 3 weeks, but they are not as bad as when they first started at this rate. I can only assume as it gets better it will eventually stop. .THANK GOD!!

I doubt that since - I am only 27

It just seemed really weird for me because I have never just spotted for one day for a period. I have been under a lot of stress lately so maybe I am just worrying too much about everything? I don't know.

I had the heavy periods in my 20s, and by my - early 30s they were - sm

really bad, not only the cramps, but passing clots, and I was becoming anemic. The Dr. ordered an ultrasound, which showed a very large fibroid. So, I had a TAH (without the BSO) at the tender age of 34! Once I had recovered from surgery, I felt SO much better! Energy came back tenfold, too. My only regret is that I hadn't gone to the Dr. about the problem years sooner!

Odd PeriodMay 12, 2012
I hope someone has some advice.  My period is ususally 3-5 days early.  This month, it was 11 days late and so far (day 2), it's not really a period, it's more like a brown mucousy discharge. I'm 49 and my husband has had a vasectomy (14 years ago). I highly, highly doubt I'm pregnant, but I've never experienced this.  Is it preimenopause? Should I see my doctor?  Thanks. ...

In 90 Day Probation Period At New JobSep 11, 2011
i've started a new job just a couple of weeks ago but feel that me and the company are just not a good fit.  I have never been in this situation before, but do I owe them 2 weeks or 1 week notice at this point?  My understanding is that in the 90 days, if either they or I feel that it's not working out, I can simply resign and walk away when I do so.  Is this the way it is?  Has anyone had this experience and if so, how did you tell them without causing static or an ...

Period Shamed? Not This Person. Putting ItAug 10, 2015
Just read about a woman who was to run the London marathon. The night before she started her period. She thought she could either wear a tampon or go without, to do so because she claims there is "period shaming." She went without. She said also did it for all the women around the world who do not have the products when they have their period and also she thinks some do not talk about it because of shame. I saw a picture of her after the race with her blood soaked pants. I have no idea what othe ...

'He Became President Of The United States In That Moment, Period'Mar 01, 2017
Shortly after President Donald Trump addressed a Joint Session of Congress for the first time since taking the oath of office, CNN's Van Jones called one particularly moving moment from the speech the real estate mogul's most presidential to date. Less than an hour after Trump honored the widow of a slain NAVY Seal, the Democratic commentator suggested that the commander in chief had officially begun to look the part. "He became President of the United States in that moment, pe ...

I Think Italy Has It Right. They Impose A Period Of Media SilenceDec 03, 2016
The campaigning is done now ahead of Sunday's vote. No more campaign ads.  No phony polls being published.  No robocalls.  No news editorials, articles, radio or TV commentary. And on election day, no exit polls, early predictions, etc.  When the vote is counted and certified, the results are announced. Gee - a period of silence in which people can reflect on their vote without the deluge of frantic last-minute yelling, screaming, misinformation, the blizzard of ads e ...

According to author Leo Tolstoy, born at the very end of the Little Ice Age, in quite a cold country: "The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he already knows, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him." Very interesting article herein. ...

Ear ProblemsApr 05, 2016
Does anyone else have the problem of certain outside noise frequencies causing their eardrums to vibrate or pulse really fast? This only happens when I wear my headphones. I have noise-canceling headphones and can't actually hear the sound, just feel the vibrations in my eardrums. It's only certain things for me like lawnmowers, chainsaws, four-wheelers, and some car/truck engines. Most of the time it isn't bad if whatever is making the noise is just there for a moment, but i ...

Mortgage ProblemsNov 12, 2009
Hi everyone - Anyone have any ideas about what to do with a bad mortgage, other than foreclosure I mean.  We got sold to a servicing company some time ago.  My DH decided to ask, just ask, about getting a loan modification and they automatically went ahead and did this without us filling out any paperwork.  Can you believe it!?  We tried calling and talking with them about this but got no where to say the least.  We decided to just keep paying our regular mortgage a ...

Financial Problems - Like So ManyMar 13, 2010
Like so many right now, due to pay cuts in the last year, I am in need of any additional prayer anyone can give.  My pay has been cut nearly in half.  I don't qualify for bankruptcy because my name is on 1/4 of my mom's house.  She has early dementia and is fighting us on all fronts right now because she's in denial.  She just had another TIA and is refusing to go for an MRI or see the neurologist.  She refuses to sell the house, which she needs to do anyw ...

Husband ProblemsAug 11, 2012
I need some opinions about some of the things my husband does. Basically, I feel that he is very controlling.  He is always making remarks when he can't get me on the phone that I must be with my "boyfriend".  If my phone goes off, he'll say ask if it's my boyfriend, and it is usually just an email from work or some type of business that I have an account with.  We have been married for 16 years, and I have never cheated on him.  My best friend since high scho ...

Knee ProblemsDec 11, 2012
First let me start by saying that I have had two arthroscopies on my right knee and one on my left for basically worn out cartilage and some "fraying" around the edges of the knee cartilage, but never an outright tear (according to MRI studies all three times).  My knee problems have always started out first with pain, achy-type feeling, stiffness, and a tight band-like feeling around my knee, sometimes hurting on the outer back of my knee (I know I have a Baker's cyst in both knees, b ...

Problems With TV ReceptionApr 30, 2014
Tonight I dropped my Comcast remote, and it fell upside down on the carpet.  When I picked it up, it apparently hit a button that immediately made my TV reception extremely snowy.  Can't figure out how to fix it.  I did not go near the TV, so I am sure it has nothing to do with any cable connections.  Any advice would be helpful before I undertake the task of calling Comcast, which is not always a good experience.  Thanks! ...

Health Problems Being An MTSep 11, 2014
I'm a relatively new MT and already I'm having a constant ache in my arm and shoulder. It's a strange sensation that I can't really describe. Never had problems physically before until I began being an MT. However, it didn't come on until about a year and a half of being an MT. For those who have been an MT for,say, 20 years, I don't know how you do it. You don't get health problems from working at McDonald's or Wal-Mart, I don't think. Typing 8 ...

I Think This Would Solve A Lot Of Problems InstantlySep 09, 2012
I've thought about this before, and it occurred to me again while reading exerpts from Woodward's newest book...along with "rebuttals" from Obama, Pelosi, Boehner, Reid, etc.  Most of these amount to "that never happened". Also, I've thought about this in conjunction with things like the secret negotiations with pharmaceutical companies to gain their support for Obamacare.  I don't say this just happens on one side - it happens on both sides. I've often wonde ...
