I started spotting after some emotional distress. Do I count that as my period?
Posted , 2 users are following.
I know this is probably a stupid question. With peri it's all so confusing. My beautiful dog, who was my best friend, passed yesterday.
With all my crying i noticed I started spotting. It's old blood. I am 76 days without a period. I do not know if I need to start counting all over again. Is this a one off because I was stressed and crying hard?
When I was walking on my porch some of the wood broke. I took a hard fall. Hurt my hip & foot. I don't know if that caused the spotting.
I am not concerned about the spotting. I just don't know how to count days if spotting occurs. Do we not count it? Do we count?
I know with all my grief I am not thinking straight about things. Any input would be helpful.

i once went without a period for over a year, i thought i was finally in menopause, but then i started going through a divorce and bam i started my period again. The next thing i know ive been having periods again nearly every month for the past 2 years! i feel awful all of the time, had my hormones checked my progesterone, estrogen and testosterone are very low while my cortisol levels and fsh is very high. I dont know how im still have nearly regular periods but if i was you i would wait and see if you bleed a little heavier and if you do start counting all over again. I know stressful situations can bring on a cycle unfortunately

Thank you. I did start bleeding a little bit more heavier. I guess I will start counting again, sob! I was starting to think I was getting to the end.
I know every time I am grieving my period starts. I am very upset and not coping well at all. My dog was my life.
I am so sorry about your divorce. That is a traumatic time to go through but ten times worse in menopause. My heart goes out to all the women who have to endure a divorce, even if they wanted it.
