Hi everyone. Some nights ago I was sleeping at my boy house and "forgot" ( was not able actually) to go to the bathroom to remove the tampon for the night. I always have this very heavy period, and have to change the biggest tampon every 2hrs. So in the morning it was obv drenched with blood. Now the period ended but I think my vag has been affected by this, she seems inflamed, and hitchy as hell ... Do you think it can be that? submitted by /u/Sensitive-Ad-7503 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Is this discharge before ovulation? well I know apps aren’t accurate for ovulation. Either way I want to know if this kind of discharge is normal? I’m supposed to be in my “fertile” phase but I don’t track using anything else. Just wanted to know if anyone else experiences this also submitted by /u/Iheartmazzystar1 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I was late by a week and a half, usually I'm regular and I know when I'm about to bleed. It didn't happen, my partner and I did the sex and cervix punching = me bleeding afterward, which I did - pink blood and a few small spots for 3 days, only really appeared after I'd used the toilet so it wasn't actively bleeding..? If that makes sense? Should I consider this a period? Negative tests, although I'm not sure if it's too early to test but I have been ... too many times. submitted by /u/Flapmon [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I noticed that from the start of my ovulation phase of my menstrual cycle towards the end leading to the luteal phase I have been craving both plantain and guacamole. It's been happening for the last three months. For background, I am not pregnant and I'm 36 years old. I would occasionally enjoy plantain and guacamole when the occasion arises. But lately, my body seems to be craving these foods as if I need some nutrients from it. Does anyone have any background with cravings as it relates to vitamin deficiencies or otherwise to help me understand why these cravings have started? submitted b ..read more

First and foremost, I have already scheduled an appointment with my gyno, so I am not necessarily looking for diagnosis or anything!! (The appointment is for the 30th as of rn) I mostly just need advice, maybe comfort, and some hope that I’m not dying ? So. I’m going to try to keep this as brief and simple as possible without it getting super gross. Yes ik this is a menstruation page, I have just never really spoken openly about this topic. I have been on Nexplanon since Feb. 2023, haven’t had a check up yet. Well, normally on this BC I have short, few day periods that are extremely light “fl ..read more

Hello everyone. November 2023 i started having irregular bleeding around ovulation. This lasted 5 days. I went to the doctor and she said i have a polyp. I had it removed Feb 2nd this year and thank God it was benign. I had spotting for 4-5 days post procedure and then feb 16 i had my period for about 5 days. I didn’t get a period the whole march, but i spot a little on the night of march 31st. This month, i had some brown discharge for 5 days starting april 13. Last night, i spot again. This morning when i peed i saw a little blood again. Does this mean the polyp is back? It’s only been two ..read more

When I sit down there’s little to no blood but when I stand up there’s blood I’d say it’s equivalent to a nose bleed. See post history for pics submitted by /u/Ok-Nefariousness34 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello Everyone!!! I know the following may seem TMI, but I need clarification, and my appointment with my first OBGYN is months away. I started my first oral contraceptive in late May of 2023, in which I had my period twice in the following month of June. In late June, I had a health issue (unrelated to my menstrual cycle), and I stopped taking the pill. My period was normal until November of 2023, when I had it at the beginning of the month and the end of the month. I missed it entirely in December 2023 and January 2024. When I got my period in February, it lasted for 15 DAYS STRAIGHT, and m ..read more

My boobs grew overnight apparently. Woke up with sore boobs and a full extra cup size which is wild because I’m practically flat chested. I just had a weird period where I was spitting grayish blood for a week then had a very light almost spotty normal period right after. During this time I didn’t know if I was actually on my period or not so I took my white BC pills and skipped placebo. I’ve been on my BC for around three years. Had sex about 5 weeks ago. Thoughts???

Has anyone else experienced this? I was on Yasmin birth control pills for 18 years. During this time I was diagnosed with anxiety and began medication for it. 6 weeks ago I stopped taking the pill, I wanted to see if it would impact some chronic issues I have (migraines, constipation, non existent libido). So far I had one very quick period and am not sure it was even a full cycle or not. I did have slight back pain, slight cramping, and slight breast pain which were normal for me before bc. Positive is that I haven’t had a migraine, but still no libido and holy smokes the bad moods! I am irr ..read more
