Thank you for your video. It's, at least, comforting to know I'm not the only woman experiencing my "reason" and it's, at most, good to understand what my body is doing and what questions I might ask my care provider. That's empowering as a woman! The only thing I didn't understand was why you said "person with a period." We should be proud to be women. Men can not do what we do. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉 Thanks again for such an informative video!

I used Diane pills for a year and on my 13th new pack I took 4 pills when I suddenly remembered that it is my 13th month then I stopped because was thinking that I don’t need to take a pill anymore so I wanted to stop completely and then I started bleeding in day 4 after I stopped taking the pill. It is only one week since I had a period. It took 5 days heavy bleeding. After 5 days of bleeding I got a UTI so I went to the doctor and doctor was giving me antibiotics for 5 days so my UTI has gone away but I had a thick reddish discharge when I went to bathroom. Please tell me what is this. I am worried about it. Please I hope you answer me thank you so much and god bless and please tell me what to do. Thanks ❤

I've never had spotting before when I did firtility treatments, but I am spotting after taking pills that are supposed to help me ovulate. Last time I went to the firtility doctor they gave me clomed and it took a few tries and one miscarriage, but we did have a baby. This time, 4 years later, we're trying again with a firtility doctor and she's different then the other ones we went to, she gave me something she said is like clomed but not going to hurt the lining like clomed did which cause a miscarriage the first time we tried. I like that it doesn't hurt the lining, but I don't know how good this other type of pills are ether. I felt they where weak and not working cause I didn't get much ovulation symptoms like I did with clomed, and now I'm spotting. I hope that's actually ovulation happening. :/ and this video made me worry about the other reasons that aren't good things. I better not being going through early menopause at age 33.

Yup, I am the 5% that spots around ovulation. Didn't know it was a thing until I was well into my 30s. Doctors didn't explain it, but told me the pill would resolve it. I regret that decision because my tubes were already tied and the pill should not be a bandaid. I wish the OBs would have given the knowledge not the prescription.

I missed your period for April, May, June, and July, and i didn't take any medication during that time. But I kept feeling period-like pain until August Then, I started spotting and were prescribed levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets, which initially stopped the spotting but it started again. < meaning I spotted literally throughout august till the very month September Now, I been asked to start taking Duphaston tablets, and I am experiencing cramps .

I’m 47 years old. I had my period on 12/20/23 & it wasn’t heavy like usual, it just spotted a little. Then it stopped a little on 12/25/23 but still spotted brown. So looks like It never completely stopped. Then on 1/7/23, the period begin again but not heavy. When I whip sometimes I see bright red & other times it’s dark red. Is it due to my age or what’s going on? I have never experienced this in my whole life. Please help.

Finally someone said it can be low progesterone levels as I thought. My gynecologist said it is normal. I spot 4-5 days prior. Next question is, Crystal, does it mean I am less fertile maybe?

I wouldn't mind though, I don't plan kids, it just annoying when I spot. And it's been the last 6 years every cycle. Im 35.

@CrystalKennings 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Tina! That's a great question. Low progesterone levels can make maintaining a pregnancy in the first trimester more difficult. So while it doesn't mean you are less fertile, it does mean it can make things more difficult if trying to keep a pregnancy going. Thankfully there's a lot you can do to support progesterone levels (less stress, magnesium/B6 supplements, vitamin C rich foods, prioritizing self care, sleep and regular exercise!).

This is my second month that I started spotting 6 days before my period. I don’t take birth control, or have IUD and I’m 45. So I think I’m left with maybe cervical cancer because I am getting a lot of pain off and on. If that’s the case I’m ok with it. I’m not the type of person that wants to live a long life nor forever but if someone is or was in my Simlar situation. I may go to the Dr but I will not take meds, I barely remember to take my vitamins. 🤦🏻‍♀️. This was very informative thank you.
