My period changed when I got married a year and nine months ago, and it finally got regular with a 26 day cycle and my period being 6 days long (it’s pretty much always been 6 days long since I can remember). Normally I get the light warning cramps 5 days before my period and then when my period starts I have intense cramping, heavy flow, and blood clots for the first 2 days then it gradually gets lighter and no cramps for the last 4 days, 6 days in total.

This time, the day before my period started, I had intense cramping and pink spotting, then it started the next day with the cramping for two days and now on my 4th day day of my period, I have no bleeding. I have not had really any stress. I have been off work for a week because my parents are visiting (to which I was extremely excited) and I celebrated my birthday. It has been a great week! I don’t understand why this is different all of the sudden. Any thoughts for a confused, newly 29 year old?

Here is a picture from my birthday party too. It’s (left to right) my mom, me, my sister-in-law, niece, mother-in-law, and grandma-in-law.
