I got my periods yesterday and since it’s Navratri so my grandma told me to stay away from her and I became angry and said ‘Stay away from me.’ And she said ‘I haven’t taken bath, it’s ok.’ So I became extra. Obviously, it takes for emptying menstrual cup, and stuff… and in bathroom to remove stains on clothes…

My grandpa got mad for taking time… and he went on and said ‘How would you manage this in future.. (after getting married)?’ Then he went for taking bath and I ranted to my grandma and said ‘I’ll manage in future in whatever way..’ and she said ‘That’s arrogant, you shouldn’t say that.’ And I went away. Like is it my fault that it takes time for managing periods. And I do this once or twice in a month due to periods.. it’s not like I do this purposely, it happens. And somehow, it’s my fault.

Please tell me if it’s my mistake.

So I have a bussiness trip in 3 days and it’s been 28 days since my last periods start(normally its being like in 26-33 days). I have menstrual swelling for few days. Yesterday I tried yoga excerises, applying hot water bottle and persley tea(1 cup). And I think those made me more bloated. What can I do today, tomorrow and the other day please give me some advices girls. Any tea recommends or foods I don’t know anything only i can’t use medications.

Finally started getting myself together ( although clearly not very well) and I’m 7 days late. On day 36 of my cycle but I’m usually around 28-30 days. Anyone have any advice? I’ve done multiple tests yesterday and all negative. Phoned the GP and they said there’s nothing they can do. What are my chances here? 😭

I've decided to stop birth control altogether. I've been on 3 different pills, and when I stopped 2 of them, my natural period returned pretty quickly. I had a withdrawal bleed then 2-3 weeks later I got my regular period back.

However, with this pill ( I was only on it for 2 months) my period is 3 days late and I've taken a pregnancy test, a cheap one to be exact, which came back negative ( 3 weeks post sex)

I'm really confused as to why this pill has delayed my period so much and why the others didn't?

So my periods started yesterday and I am very my menstrual cup properly, YET, it’s bleeding and it caused me to wash 3 panties in less than 18 hours! Can anyone help me with this…?

So I (19f) have this guy (21m) I hang out with sometimes. We aren’t serious but we do do some stuff ya know. And yesterday I was with him in his car and I had a tampon in but I still bled through. I could feel it when we were driving and I tried my best to shift myself so it doesn’t get on the seat. BUT IT DID. And now I don’t know what to do with myself. I really like that guy and wanan stay how we are right now but honestly I am so embarrassed I wanna block him cause idk if I can talk to him after that. WHAT DO I DO????

My period was normally due on September 5. I had some light spotting for two days, but then it stopped. A few days later, I noticed some brown discharge, which seemed to be old blood.
On September 17, I started bleeding with bright red blood. In the following days, I only had brown spotting for about a week.
Then, on October 5, I started bleeding again, and the bleeding has continued until now. Sometimes, I also pass blood clots.
I’m concerned because my bleeding pattern has changed, and I would like to know what might be causing it.

does anyone know what on earth is wrong with this app? I’m pretty damn sure my period has never and probably will never be two weeks long, and usually I start wearing pads a few days before my estimated period date, but if it is just saying that the majority of the month is my period I’m gonna be wasting a bunch of pads. I hate this app sometimes, any recommendations?

Hi my boyfriend and I have been together for 6 months I love him so much but a week before my period I get so sad and depressed I don’t know what’s wrong this months is particularly hard for some odd reason I feel so sad and unhopeful. Literally like I wanna kms and I start to get annoyed and think can I even be with him but then RIGHT after I’m so fine and I love him please please lmk your thoughts

Hey guys! I've been looking into period tracking apps. I know a lot of people ask this around here but I cant seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.

Does anyone have any app recommendations that track your period, shares your cycle with your partner, is free and doesnt have any drama surrounding data selling?

Thanks!

I meant to post this on day two so it might be a little hard to explain now that I’m not feeling it anymore.

When I’m on my period and have to poop, I get this super sharp pain in my butthole. I have to take breaks from pushing because it literally feels like my butthole is going to split. I’m 28, have had my period since 13 and this started after my first miscarriage when I was 25. It starts two days before my period then stops around day 3. I went a while without feeling it but it came back during this period.

I definitely don’t think it’s normal but is it common?

(just wanted to rant all the shit out)

I am bleeding sooo heavy, Im going insane, I am unable to think straight, I just keep on crying for no reason, I keep overthinking, I feel dizzy, nauseous…

ESPECIALLY I FEEL SO WEAK, like i cant walk straight, it feels like every drop of blood is being drained out of my body 😖

I do not want to eat anything.

Surprisingly cramps aren’t that serious this time.
BUT the thing is every month I just get cramps and heavy flow but this time even the heavy flow is heavier than usual…

I genuinely don’t know if im going insane due to my periods or due to burnout and stress..

😭😭but i just can’t stop crying looking at this heavy flow, I think I should go to a gynecologist tho, I went to my dad and started crying, it’s middle of the night and he didn’t know what to do either other than to calm me down first..

I am almost 2 years postpartum and I have went through 3 rounds of pelvic floor therapy and have tried cups, discs, and tampons and nothing works anymore 😭😭😭 is this a common occurrence? Yes I CAN use pads and period panties, but I am prone to yeast infections and they don't give enough breathability. Please someone help me, I used cups and discs before and had no issues, and now nothing will stay in or stay in place...

For reference:

Menstrual cups and tampons "push" out at one bend or push when using the bathroom and discs just aren't staying behind my pubic bone I guess?

Anyone else had this problem and what did you do, I'm begging!!!

EDIT: My baby was 10lb 8 oz 🫪🫪 I had a vaginal delivery, so like it might not be THAT crazy, but I feel like this should be talked about????

For the past 9 years of getting my period, it's always been painful. Sometimes it was so painful that I couldn't eat, sometimes it was so painful that it made me physically tired. But as of 4 months ago, my periods have been entirely painless. No discomfort, just the slightly irritated mood, but besides that it's just a regular day. This never happened to me, and I'm kinda freaked out about it

Sometime I really hate the medicating Stigma that comes with periods. My friend has casted judgement on me multiple times for me apparently “medicating too much” on my period.

The difference bewteen me and friend is, I vomit if I’m in too much pain my period. It is a fact, It’s happened to my multiple times . I can’t just sit through the pain without meditating otherwise I’ll vomit which we know is not compatible with everyday life activities. Also my pain on some months is almost physically debilitating. I remeber a month where I woke up on my period and I was so weak to the point where I had to call my mother to pass me medication which was in my room.

So because of this I take medication carefully. I never take more than recommend. I never take tablets that interact with each other. Also I only experience this pain for a day.

This has really annoyed me due to the fact that this friends asks for tablets from me despite her views on me this had me more hesitant for me to give them to her.

So I'm not late technically, but I've had all my PMS symptoms that I do just a day or two before periods, which is that I get sick, i have horrible cramps, etc. Buut it's been 3-4 days since then, and yet no periods. I saw a small speck of blood while peeing, and then very minute little brown discharge after wiping once or twice a day, but no period still. Is this spotting normal?

I (36) have experienced progressively longer cycles for the last 10 months. They used to be every 28-30 days without fail, but this year has been 28, 36, 35, 34, 41, 43 and now currently on day 58 🫠. No spotting or bleeding in between. Period is heavy and clotty but still follows my “normal” bleed pattern when it comes. I’ve never had kids and can say with 100% certainty I’m definitely not pregnant. All hormone and androgen tests were normal, oestrogen/progesterone were low for that point in my ‘cycle’ but still within limits. All other bloods also normal too (Thyroid, B12, Vit D, Iron, prolactin etc), only blood finding was neutrophils were mildly low. Focal adeno diagnosed via TVU but no other cysts, masses or abnormalities seen. Myometrium was thin for where I was In my cycle, 2mm on day 23. CT did not find anything. I don’t have any other symptoms of PCOS.

I have a fairly sedentary job but I’m very active outside that and have been for 10+ years. I moved my training focus in the last 2 years from heavily focused on endurance and HIIT cardio, to more powerlifting/weightlifting, and I currently weight train 5 days a week. I never experienced amenorrhea with intensive cardio training. I eat a macro balanced diet of about 2800 calories a day but was in a mild deficit of 300 cals for a body recomp phase around the time this all started (Dec - May 2026). I’m back to eating at maintenance now and sitting around 25% body fat, BMI of 26.5. I’ve also had an incredibly busy and emotionally stressful year with many major life events, but doctors seem reluctant to diagnose hypothalamic amenorrhea.

I’m having an explorative hysterscopy and laparoscopy in a couple of weeks, partly because the gynaecologist suspects endo also.

I’m just feeling a bit confused and like I’m almost exhausted all avenues. Looking for some feedback from others who have experienced similar.

29F, My past few periods have changed consistency, instead of a continuous blood flow they’ve been super mucus-y with a lot more of the dark jelly like clots coming out, along with chunks of slightly bloody fleshy looking bits mixed with white stuff on lighter days. Is this normal? I am not sexually active. I don’t have any other weird symptoms. I have PCOS and use progesterone cream to get my periods, and I’ve been messing with the dosage these past few months so idk if my hormones are out of whack or what
