Is this normal? (Period Question)
So I was on NuvaRing for about 7-8 months. While I was on it my period was 3-4 days. I came off a little over two months ago. My H and I have had both protected and unprotected sex (he uses the pull-out method when we don't use a condom). The first period I had came a day later than normal, on a Sunday night, and was a very light pink and turned bright red the next day. It wasn't heavy, but wasn't as light as spotting either. It was enough bleeding for about two regular pads. The second day was much lighter, but still enough for maybe one pad. Then by Tuesday night/Wednesday morning there was nothing. No spotting or brown. So a total of two days.
The second period I had, which started yesterday morning at about 4am, came with cramps and again bright red blood. I changed my pad twice yesterday, and today (the second day) it is again much lighter. I am still on my first pad.
What would cause 2 day periods two months in a row?
Re: Is this normal? (Period Question)
All of this. Plus I suggest using something other than pulling out if you don't want to end up pregnant.
You use the same pad two days in a row? Not sure if i read that right??? Your bleeding because your shedding your wall....regardless of hormones..! Mine lasts 5 days...heavy bleeding...heavy cramps! Your lucky to have light days!
I know what a period is, and how it works, I just find 2 day periods to be abnormal for me. While I was on the ring they were 3-4 days, and prior to that they were 7-8 days of very heavy bleeding and horrible cramps. I have endometriosis, and started my period at 11 years old. I started getting heavy periods and cramps right away, and missed a lot of school and work over the years because of it.
I was just trying to see if everyone agreed that the hormones were to blame. I'm definitely not complaining about the fact they are light and short right now, just trying to make sure I'm not all excited about something that could actually be a sign of something wrong.
