strange period?
Hey ladies I'm hoping you can help me with my strange period.
I have noticed for a while now that my period doesn't "flow" like it did when I was in my teens.. I'm 26 and it only comes out if I sit on the toilet. I don't wear tampons I've only ever worn pads, and after hours of wearing them, there will be hardly any blood on them.
I've already talked to three drs about this and they've all just shrugged it off saying "huh, that's weird" and "wow, your lucky". it's gotten to the point where I don't even need to wear a pad anymore, I'll just wear a thin panty liner and call it good.
To add to the strangeness..my period came yesterday (on time, as usual) and now it's basically over. It only lasted a day? I did notice a big clot in the toilet before I flushed...
I have been struggling with anxiety this year but I feel like I've finally gotten it under control. The only thing that has changed is I finally got a new job after searching for months! I really enjoy it! I work with special education and I find it really rewarding..
So my question is.. Have any of you ever gone through something similar? I'm still a virgin and have never been on birth control.. The times I went to the dr were for under rib pain and pelvic pain. Had blood tests done to check my liver/gallbladder/pancreas and blood count! Even had a sonogram. Everything came back normal.. Should I have had something else checked? I don't get my first check until the end of November so I can't go to the Drs right now.. But maybe for the future? Since I don't really have pain anymore I'm having second thoughts...
Sorry this is so long! I'll appreciate any feedback! Thank you!
