Period

Hi mums this is not a baby related post It has to do with periods. I have noticed in my last two cycles that my flow is much less than usual. Last cycle i got my period 3 days late and when they arrived they were light in the sense of flow i could see blood when i wiped but not much in mu pad. The next day it was better and then i had a bit more on the third day and they stopped. I did a pregnancy test and it was negative. I did not think much after that. This cycle my flow was much lighter than the last time.. i barely had any flow and my pad was all clean. I could see blood on the toilet and even noticed two clots down toilet.. but now flow at all in the pad. I did have blood in the wipe which was more first two days… in the third day i did have a bit in the wipe again but nothing in the pad. I did a test yesterday it was negative. I am getting so worried what this might be. I ised to have very regular period up until March this year with normal flow lasting up to 4 days sometimes 5. We started to try for a baby in April and this happens right a way and its disappointing. i am 37 and i have a son but want to have another baby. NOTE: I have requested a GP appointment and have one on 18 June. But till then looks like a long time and wanted to see if any of you have experienced this before and what might be the cause. Thanks mama

Could it be stress related? Maybe because you’re trying for another baby and you’re unconsciously anxious?

Thank you Simona! I am not feeling stressed but as you say maybe its something unconscious. I only started ti worry when i notices that my period flow its much lighter. Thanks for your comments :)

Mine did this last year for a couple of months before I got pregnant with number 2 (I'm 39, was 36 when had 1st one) thought the same as you but nothing pregnancy related so just dismissed it then got pregnant so forgot about it until I got diagnosed with anemia, my levels were so low they think I could have been anemic since 1st pregnancy (to be fair I have been exhausted ever since first pregnancy to point I can barely function but thought it was a being a parent thing so just tried to carry on) and remembered those couple of strange pinky super light cycles and asked and they said it can be a symptom so maybe get a blood test to check your iron, foliate and vit d levels see if your maybe deficiant in something

Thank you Gemma! Im glad you managed to have your second baby :). I had mine at 34 so now wishing a trying for e second baby. I did have some blood tests done lately my folate and B12 were ok but they did not check my iron levels. I will deffo mention this on my appointment. Thank you
