Okay, this really isn't a sex question but if anyone could....squelch my worry it'd be appreciated.

I've had my period for about 2 weeks. I spotted on and off for a week and then I got it full force on the 31st and it's still around. Is this something to worry about? Or, should I just chalk it up to stress and being young (20)? I couldn't be pregnant could I? I tend to worry about everything so should I not?

thanks

Are you on any BC?

Nope I'm not

I think you should call your doc. I know i spot alot and have weird period's but i recently just got off BC. If you have spotting like that it may be something worse.. Have you recently been with someone unprotected ?

nope, it's been protected. off to the doc for me I guess

I second that Sar, Phoenix it is unusual and needs checking out.
Go see your doctor asap
take care

Do you have a history of irregularity or is this abnormal?

Stress/emotional upheaval/sudden shock/commencement of

a sexual relationship can all do this.

See the quack just to be on the safe side.

check out webmd.com, my girlfriend said they should have the answer. She says it may also be a miscarriage and it could last for a couple of months. definitely see a dr.

uuggh guess i'll have to go see the "quack" *lol* For a girl without insurance it's not something I look forward to.

This is not normal for me, I'm pretty regular and a 6 day girl. I have been stressed lately I guess (i never think I am, but when the ulcer flares up I guess I am).

miscarriage...yikes, I hope I wasn't preg. in the first place. My period was normal last month and the month before, etc.

well if your period was normal the last couple of months then you could have something wrong with your ovaries. you could also have cysts on your ovaries. you can go to your local health department. they will tell you everything you need to know for free usually.

Being a Wholelistic Practetioner I would say to seek professional help and also Eat Yogurt at least once a Week or more.

Well-my gyno told me to only worry if something was odd 2 months in a row. one month weird can be anything-stress, hormones, etc etc. so maybe wait for a bit. Or you could talk to a doc over the phone and see what they say-they might tell you to wait too.

Hon, how much are you bleeding? (how many pads/tampons a day)
If this is just spotting, it is not as urgent as if you are using ten or twelve pads a day. But as a nurse, I vote GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR!!! NOW!!!
Better safe than sorry!

Why do you hesitate? It´s your health! Better one time too much at the doc than getting something serious.

Just thought I'd update.

Went to the doc. She doesn't know why exactly, did blood tests and my thyroid came back slightly elevated. Everything else was fine.
