Thread: Period was a week early...

I can't remember when, but I started my period about 8-10 days ago. I was supposed to start it this week, today on Tuesday, and am worried because it was a week earlier. I'm on the pill and have been for years, no recent changes in the brand, and I've had my period for 6 years.

I'm just nervous because I never really have issues with my period and it's making me extremely irritable and the cramps aren't fun!!

Thank you

hello,

when on the pill and if taken correctly, you should not get your period early. it would be a good idea to speak to the doctor who prescribed them. sometimes when you have been on 1 brand for a while, your body adjusts to those particular levels of hormones and it may be neccessary to change brands??

If you are experiencing Pain and PMS and mood changes, these can all very well be from taking the pill.

are you using the pill for contraceptive purposes?
did you know that there are other methods of birth control that do not involve taking synthetic hormones?
and if you are taking it because of the pain, etc, did you know that there are methods of regulating your cycle that naturally bring your body into a state of balance?

The pill contains at least 4 times the amount of hormones that naturally occur in our bodies. there is an incredibly fragile and intricate hormonal dance that takes place in our bodies and when we take the pill, this dance is squashed or flatlined. this overload of hormones can be the cause of many many problems, now and later in life.

I am passionate about shedding some positive light on menstruation, so just sharing the possibilities.

All the best. X
