Hi!

I am 54 and my period returned after 277 days of no periods. It has been "regular" in the sense that it had a slow first day, Wes Craven second day, and then a gradual slow down days 3-5. Today is day 6 and the blood is almost gone, but what is there is bright red rather than darker.

My health anxiety has me going absolutely berserk over this. Does the color matter?

I was doing so well and now I feel like not only is this a step backwards for "the coundown," it feels like a terrible step backwards in anxiety!

Love you all!
