Have You Guys Ever Experienced This? Posted: 05-28-06 01:05am
Ok, this isn't pregnancy related, but you
guys seem more knowledgable than the other
forums, so here's my question.
For the past few months i've been up to
and around two weeks late for my period,
so i'm thinking my cycle changed (used to
be 28-30 day, now looks like 40-42 day)
and my periods have been getting shorter?
But not any lighter... For example I
started 2 days ago, and now am hardly
bleeding at all ( my period usually lasts
4-5 days).
I still pass small clots, and towards then
ends of my periods, I usually pass a
large, much lighter colored, chunky (not
jello-y) clot. Then no bleeding for most
of the day, then it starts up again and my
period is over the next day. So this
still happens, but is now around 3-5
days.
I'm sorry this was a little graphic, but I
was wondering if any of you have ever
experienced something this weird.

Hello,
considering your periods use to be regular
and have changed. You must go see your gp
sooner rather than later. It may be
nothing to worry about, but a change in
your cycle could mean a number of things,
please go see your doctor :)

Hi there, your cycle can change slowly but
anything that is drastic like your change
is not normal. A normal cycle is anything
between 21-35 days anything above it is
not good. I would go visit your Dr. And
figure a way to put your cycle in a more
normal range.

Hey guys thanx for responding. Yeah, I
have heard that drastic changes in your
period could mean something is wrong. I
thought my period was almost over when I
posted this. It was extremely light
yesterday, but then all of a sudden this
morning it was heavy again for about an
hour or so, then it went back to very
light but bright red, not light brown,
like the day before. So I guess my cycle
lasted as long as I have been used to...
But still, i'm thinking I should go to the
doctor... But my mom says it's normal,
and she's a nurse.. I dunno.
I was wondering... Around the time I
noticed a change in my cycle, I believed
it was changed due to becoming sexually
active, but now I am wondering if a change
in my cycle could have been brought on by
a severe uti that I got after becoming
sexually active? And i'm not quite sure
the uti was completely gotten rid of?
Because I still have those days where it
hurts to pee, and it has an odor
(especially in the morning). I was
thinking the uti could maybe affect my
cycle? I should probably see a doctor
either way though...
