Cycle Perplexities

Is your cycle misbehaving? Like your usual N-day menstrual cycle is all of a sudden longer or shorter, or you're spotting where AF should be here in full force, or PMS symptoms but no sign of AF? And has it got you thinking (...pregnant?), or generally confused or stressed or time to call the OB/Gyn? CycleView your cycle!

AF...Where are you??!!

Hello Everyone, I am new to this so please bear with me with the abbreviations. I have been tracking my cycle for 4 years on this site and it has come like clockwork every 24 to 26 days like it's supposed to. This month is VERY different...I went through the usual PMS stuff last week and was sure that AF was visiting last Thursday or Friday at the very latest. According to the calendar I am now on day 33 with no AF in sight! I have not been intimate since my last vist from AF on May 7th...I am not sure what is going on here since my last period was a normal one with no cause for concern about pregnancy..I am not sure what to do at this point. I've looked up reasons for a late period online and most point to pregnancy and some even suggested PCOS! Has anyone ever experienced this?? HELP!

Different period than normal?

I've had my period since I was 10... I'm now 22 years old and I can say for certain that my period's pretty regular. Regular in the sense that it lasts 4 to 5 days and the flow goes from light to heavy and to light again before it ends. Also it usually comes around the 35 day mark (a few more or less).

However last cycle it came at the 29th day and the blood was different. Darker, more clotty? The flow wasn't as heavy. I took a test, it was negative. So I relaxed and chalked it up to the stress of finishing school and all that came along with it. Now I've hit the 25 day mark of my new cycle and I had "spotting" (I don't know what spotting really means, but when I wiped (sorry for tmi) it came away pinkish. Something that would usually signal that my period is coming. 4 days later and the pinkishness has diminished but no period? I have no idea what's going on.

If it helps at all, I got a tattoo almost 3 weeks ago (shortly after my period finished). Could this period also be stress induced with weird effects? =(

No period fustration!

Hello all,

I will appologize now for lack of abbreviations, for i am new. I am very fustrated, my husband and myself were going to start TTC in May, but he came down with Shingles, and then i came down with Chicken Pox. Now we have to wait three months before we can even start trying :(. So the fustration comes from my irregularity. My last period was March 24th, yes if you do the math its 70 days ago. I have never been regular, but this is a little annoying since we are going to try in two months. I have my doubts that i will even get my period by August when we want to start trying. My doctor does not seem concerned and says that i am perfectly healthy. i will back up a little and fill you in. I was on seasonique(3 month pack) i loved it! I came off of it in March and got my period, but it was VERY light and only last 2 days from start to finish, no spotting nothing. That was the last i have seen of anything. Normally it last 3-4 days with some spotting for up to a week. I chalked it up to working out. In January i got back into the gym from a year break and started working out and doing the eleptical for about an hour and would do anywhere from 6-7 miles. I am not overweight, nor am i underweight i am 144 5'6" size 8 with a bmi of healthy. My whole life i have been active. Is anyone else going through this? Does anyone have any recommendations? Oh and i am not pregnant, took one of those last week.

Very short periods without contraception!

My periods have always been on the lighter side (6 days) and when I went on the patch, they became lighter (4 days). I was on it for about 10 months I have been off the patch for over a year now. My periods are very very light! My last period was only 3 days. Am I less fertile? Is my body still messed up??
