Worried!

Hellooo everyone,

So last month I was two weeks late (probably due to stress) and I shouldn't be due this month until around the 27th. However, Friday the 14th I was really cranky and irritable and then later that night aunt flo came for a visit. So I assumed it was just going back to it's normal cycle. However, it was only that...gush I guess you could call it, and now it's only spotting when I wipe (varies from red-pink) and it's STILL only spotting (going on day 4). Should I be worried??

do you have anything to be worried about? Stress takes a terrible toll on the body and sometimes it takes a bit to readjust.

I have papers and exams coming up, which is stressing me out.

Sooo I shouldn't be TOO worried about spotting then? Thank goodness.

Thank you very much :)

i know...exactly...how you feel. ;-)

Nah, i wouldn't be too worried. Be careful with google about cancer (if you're due for a pap smear, though, schedule an appointment [/cancer support center intern self]) but if you're worried about pregnancy, first response is an excellent at home test. ;-)

Not worried about being pregnant, that's for sure.


...I've never had a pap smear, that's awful I know. I should get one done.

This period may be more spotty because it's only been a couple weeks since your last period. That may have cut the growth of the lining in your uterus short, making there less to shed.

And as the comment above stated, stress can take a major toll on the body, and often manifests with the menstrual cycle!

I guess that makes sense, but I've never had this happen to me before, which is why I was worried. Plus google was freaking me out too, relating it to either pregnancy or cancer. *sigh* I'm relieved now.

Thanks for your help!!
