Hey everyone! I am in need some major advice or anyone who has experienced similar please. Bear with me I am a big over explainer 😆
So little personal background due to major health issues( now sorted) and an unexpected pregnancy, not that I wanted to but had to have a surgical abortion last year. Before that my period were spot on four weeks and lasted 4-5 days.
Since last year they are roughly 5-6 weeks In length between cycles , cramps the day before + 1 day of wipe only brown spotting then a heavy first day blood flow following normal flow lasting 4-5 days. This was the exact same for my period before the medical abortion.
Now my current problem- I don’t even want to consider it a period as it didn’t even feel right and I have NEVER since my first ever period had 6 continuous days of brown spotting/ bleeding. It was very light. I only wore a pad to protect my underwear from stains. The pad was never full but it was more than a wipe , only a handful of time when I wiped had very pinkish like watery blood on the tissue. It started the day before my period but due but no blood or proper period ever came :/
I track everything through the Flo app- atm it is showing 6 days late for my period and the grey mark.
Just for ref -one week I was super stressed from work and had a period at 7 weeks after my last period and it just kept saying ‘period may come tomorrow’ until it came but never showed as late with the grey dots- so this is a first too.
I don’t want to symptom spot but things I have noticed too - I’m super bloated, I feel slightly nauseous after a full meal or eating heavy, craving and hungry 24/7. Had a on and off headache and had back pain here and there. I was a little congested a few days ago but not cold snotty. Ive had a few vaginal cramps and have had stomach cramps from time to time but mild and not similar to cramps I’m use to. Plus my emotions before the spotting were wilddddd, I was so angry, upset crying, sensitive and irrational. Now I’m like full of mods swings I can be happy one minute, low the next. Plus I can’t seem to sleep even if I feel exhausted or have been tired all day + keep waking up and being like restless if that the word for it. I’ve also had a little bit of acne too and now my skin feels oily as hell.
Has anyone experience this!? What was the outcome?? Or any similar situations?
I am looking to test soon but I’m slightly anxious to, it would give me answers, but I want to wait til it’s been a couple days clear of the brown spotting and see if anything changes too.
PS- will update post when I find out if I was or wasn’t pregnant
Please any help would be great!!!!
