I'm eighteen years old, and I'm not sure what's up at this point.
My usual period: lasts 4 days, and it's light in flow, and usually, no cramps accompany it.
However, I had no period in October. In November, my left ovary was aching me about 2 days before my period, and then when it came, it was excruciating pain. The flow was extremely heavy (usually I go through a single tampon about every 4-5 hours, and sometimes it wouldn't be saturated- I'd take it out because it was too long)and I had to change myself about every hour, and it felt as if I was bleeding from my ovary too. It lasted for two days. On the second day, it was brown blood. Other symptoms were nausea, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, and I was pretty cold despite the temperature being at 75. I've never had any sexual relations, either, so that rules out pregnancy.
Then, no period for December. It's two days before my January period- same symptoms as above for about two days.
Also, some other unusual symptoms have occurred:
- Acne. I never had a large breakout of acne until about October. My mother suggested it was the water- but when I went home for my month long break fro college, my acne actually got worse.
- Excessive need to pee. Like, every two hours or even less at times. Not sure when it first started, but I remember it around early December, maybe late November.
