Stress causing light period?
My bf fingered me (dry, clean hands) on Sunday aug 4, ovulation was the following Tuesday (to which it was more noticeable than usual), had severe anxiety the rest of that week, was sick and on antibiotics all the next week, days leading up to my period I was extremely anxious and worried, my period then came a day early (aug 21-24) and was lighter than my normal cycle-usually I start with bad cramps the days leading up to my period and then it’s super+ tampons until the last day (usually lasting 4-5 days). This month I started with light cramps, a light pink discharge, and then a flow that would fill reg tampons until the 23rd, and then basically spotting on the 24th. Would stress cause this much change?
I’m not on birth control, so would the prolonged stress be causing this? Ive been spinning in my head that maybe I am pregnant (fell down the Internet rabbit hole) even though it couldn’t be and is that stress causing me to feel this way? why do I feel sort of bloated, diarrhea, and feeling like I have to urinate when I lay down?
