weird period?

hi, so leading up to my current period i was really stressed about possibly being pregnant (my boyfriend and i use condoms, however i am not on the pill).

in the end my period came 2 days late (the 9th of feb), but it was weird, it’s coming slower than usual, and the blood is a dark brown colour (gross). i had my usual symptoms prior to this (headache the day before & cramps on the first day).

i was wondering if anyone else had experienced something similar to this? or if significant stress can cause your period to be different.

thanks girlies 💖💗
