First of all, I hate periods. That said,
here's what's been going on. Maybe
someone can shed some light for me.
My periods are like clockwork. Always
have been. Almost always 29 days
apart, maybe 30 once or twice a year.
Last month, af came four days early, which
is extremely irritating. Then this month,
I should have gotten af on the 19th.
Didn't come. On the 20th, there was just
a little spot of blood. On the 21st, it
was a little more. But still, it was
barely nothing at all. Today it seems to
be in full swing.
So what's going on here? I'm not
particularly stressed about anything. I
haven't been on the pill for months now.
I know hormones could get out of whack and
make things crazy, but why? What else
could be causing my always-regular periods
to be acting so crazy all of a sudden?

You answered your own question: hormones.
What else could be the cause? There isn't
one.
One of the troubling aspects of being a
woman is our monthly cycle. As we age,
our cycle can change. It doesn't stay the
same throughout a woman's entire life, it
changes. We have what we consider to be
normal, where we may have a cycle lasting
28-32 days, but there is always some kind
of average.
A few days, give or take, is not that big
of a change. A drastic change like
flowing through more than one pad or
tampon and hour for more than a few hours
and skipping periods altogether are things
to see your doctor about.
