Menstrual Question (For the ladies!)?!


Question: Menstrual Question (For the ladies!)?
Okay, so here goes... I'm on my period right now. However, it's not as heavy as it typically is, but it's not super light either. I thought I might have been pregnant, as I was having some symptoms, but those symptoms have gone away. I've been on my period for 3 days, but like I said, it's just not as heavy as usual. I figured it would be as heavy as usual after the first day, but it's the same. It has me a little worried. When I go to wipe (sorry if this is TMI) my blood isn't as dark as usual, it's a bright red, perhaps even a slight orange-ish color? But like I said, it's not super light or just a tiny bit of blood. It's a decent amount, just not as much as I am used to.

In any case, I was just wondering what your opinions were? Has anyone else, or IS anyone else, gone/going through this? If so (for those of you who have had this happen) what was the cause?

Answers:

Periods vary, they do. Lots of things effect our hormones, which can effect our menstrual cycle. Things such as weight gain, exercise, age, etc. There is a lot to do with our menstrual cycle and it is not unusual for it to be less heavy than other months. It happens.

I wouldn't stress it much, unless this and your unusual symptoms reoccur. In that case, I recommend going to visit an OBGYN. You might benefit from it.
In fact, you could even go to see one now and simply tell her/him your concerns and maybe get some more information on what you should and shouldn't expect and what is and isn't normal. (:
