ive noticed a change to the flow of my period. my last period was alot lighter than normal, it seemed normal for the first day (maybe slightly lighter) but after that it becomes much lighter, i notice hardly any blood and it seems more watery i guess, and theres a light brown..discharge. i didnt normally get that till my period was reaching its end...im usually on a average flow (if you can call it that) for the first 3 days and then it'll calm down.

ive always been regular, started at 15 and ive just turned 23 (stress from exams 4 years ago stopped them for a month or 2 but since then im always on time) obviously when i noticed this change i automatically go to thinking i might be pregnant but even thinking about it will stress me out a little bit which wont help the situation

i am sexually active and with a stable partner and ive been on the pill for almost a year so obviously we dont want any accidents...the pill has made my periods lighter but this new flow is very light for me...

ive just started my period again and its acting the same as last month, we just registered at a new doctors (we moved house a month ago, quite far away from where we were and i wasnt happy with the decision before and not liking it still now im here but...sadly i have to put up with it) i saw the nurse yesterday for the "introduction checkup" and i was going to mention this problem to her but they were running late so seeing as my mum was being seen aswell she let us go in together and then i bailed on asking...

my mood is quite low most of the time, im further away from my boyfriend so were seeing eachother less but we still talk every day...i do seem to be in constant "pms" mode where anything can annoy me and i'll snap, and it takes very little to upset me and i keep thinking whether we should stay together from stupid little arguments and then i upset myself for thinking those things when i know i dont want to lose him so my heads all over the place most the time...

i know mood and stress can affect my flow but i keep thinking about that...1% (if its even that) of my pill failing me :P id go back to my doctors but now weve moved my ability to get around by myself is really hard, same with finding a shop to buy a test...

last month id told myself i'd wait for this months period and see if it was the same and now im thinking the same thing but i know i cant put off dealing with it forever...is it worth buying a test? (i know going to a doctor is the more logical solution but getting to my gp is hard without my parents driving me, or its a long walk...a test is easier to obtain and id feel happier doing that before meeting my doctor for the first time and be the "over reacting patient" :P) or do i need to find an Enya cd, light some candles and do some breathing exercises to stop thinking so much?
