Thread: Help, unusual period has me freaked.

Hi there,

Where to start?
Yesterday afternoon, I got my period (it was a couple days later than last months). However, it started out really light which is terribly unusual for me. Later, it picked up the pace a little bit but then overnight seems to have slowed. Now it seems to have completely tapered off.

I've never had this happen to me before (I'm 23) and I'm kind of freaking out. My last period seemed like it went on a little bit longer than usual and I started freaking out then. Now I wish it would come back lol

Should I be worried? Does this happen?
I've always been fairly normal. Usually my breasts are sore prior to my period but that didn't occur this time and I've only had minimal cramping which again is unusual.

I've been trying to eat healthier in the last month (believe me, that is a great feat. considering the amount of junk that goes into this college's kid's body). Could this have anything to do with it?

Thanks for any information!
I'm pretty much a hypochondriac (except that I will do anything to avoid going to the doctor haha) and anything out of the ordinary sends me into panic mode.

I am 42 years old. This is the first time I have ever bleed this long. I have been bleeding heavily for about 13 days. It have slacked up just a little. Can anyone give me some advice from a similar experience
