Period problem

Posted , 3 users are following.

I started my period very early hours of Sunday morning, Sunday was a good flow. I put a night towel on as normal but by the morning there wasn't much there. Yesterday-Monday was the same, when I wipe myself there's a tiny bit of blood but nothing Much. I have bad cramps since Sunday and again today there's nothing on my towel. Am I looking into it too much?

I'm 100 % not pregnant. This isn't normal for me as my periods normally flow well with day 3 having a small break and then finishes as normal after 5 days.

    Hi Sam,

    How old are you?

    Did you take anything for the cramps? i am asking as if you take ibuprofen it can lessen the flow like you describe.

      I've taken ibuprofen which I've taken in the past and never had a problem. My flows has pretty much stopped now, with a few drops when I wipe myself. I spoke to the doctor earlier and she said I've not ovulated properly and could be stress. I am however still with the cramps wifi but seem to worsen when I walk

    I'd say since you're 100% not pregnant just be grateful for a light flow. Mine are unbearably heavy and long.

      I take tranexamic acid. Is that the same thing? It does help a lot

      Mine normally are a heavy flow and a good 5 days. One day and stop seems very strange for me and has never happened

      I used to take them years ago but my body cane used to them so my doctor told me a strong dose of ibuprofen would be good. However as the years have gone past my periods have become less painful and I can deal with it. My concern at the moment is the fact it I've bled for a day and that's it ??

      Stress can affect it along with hormone problems, would advise seeing your gp to get things checked out
