bleeding?

Unread post by helizabeth2016 »

So I have had a few times where I have freaked out about being pregnant. I had my last period from July 12-16th. So I was expecting it to come in the next few days (my cycles are from 29-33 days). I experienced some light bleeding on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Now nothing today. I thought maybe it was my period. Is it possible to bleed a bit then stop for a day or two before it starts again for your period? My boyfriend and I have done some grinding this month but we have had clothes on every time.

Hello helizabeth2016!

It is very normal for your period to be lighter, off schedule, skip, etc. when you are under different types of stress--traveling, moving, anxiety, etc. This is a really good article explaining that a bit more: http://www.scarleteen.com/article/bodie ... _my_period


Regarding pregnancy, have you seen this?

Did that help? Is there anything else you want to know?

So Wednesday I had some bleeding and enough to notice on a pad. Thursday, was a tiny bit bit not enough to take up a pad. Should I count this as my period? Or should I still expect one?

That's really hard to say. It could be that it was your period, or some spotting, which is something that people get from time to time.
