scary period type question

so I'm a hypochondriac and I want to get that out of the way before I say this but I'm bleeding and my period isn't supposed to happen until the end of the month...around the 25-31 and I am having some light blood now. I don't think there's anyway I could be pregnant as I took a pregnancy test fairly recently and so I doubt it's anything like that but i have been pretty stressed out by a recent breakup and other family problems and life changes. Could that be the reason I'm bleeding or does anyone have a better explanation. I get myself too scared over dumb stuff so tell me if I am being dumb. thanks

Unnesessarily bleeding vaginas make the Virgin Mary cry.

You arent being dumb, but I wouldn''t worry either.

Are you on any type of birth control? Hormonal methods can cause spotting.

Stress can do funny things to your body as well, but I would see a doctor to be safe.

you arent being dumb at all
its normal to get your period early or bleed like that when your under stress. i find that when im really stressed out i wont get my period at all.

aunt flow has reared her ugly head at the most random times... i'm shore it's nothing honey.

stress can definitely mess with your cycle. I would see a doctor, though. Sometimes a pregnacy test will show negative if you aren't very far along. usually the ones from the store don't work until a day or two after you miss your period.

Think its normal.(stress, hormone related as mentioned) But if continues for more than a week, Id go get checked out.

I know that when you hang around the same ol females, whether friends, coworkers, family, you pick up something as where you all have your cycle close to the same time. Doesnt always come on schedule.

Stress can do things like that to a body but it can also be a bit more serious. I had precancerous cells on my cervix that had to be removed and one of the things that made me go to the doctor was irregular spotting after intercourse.

Don't panic but listen to your body and if you are concerned then see a dr.

Good luck!

As far as I know, stress CAN throw off your cycle. It never hurts to call a clinic or something, though--I've called for dumb things too, and people are nice about it! Good luck.

aww thanks guys...that stuff made me feel much better xo

call your OB/GYN and ask them. if you're seriously worried, that should be the first thing you do

My ex had the same problem, and she went to a doctor. All he did was suck up all the blood. Yeah. Don't ever go to Dr. Acula.

Stress can do very strange things to the body. my friend had that same thing happen when she moved away from home to a different country. she was just under some stress and whoa, weird out of the blue bleeding. but she didnt go to the doctors. she just let it run its course

Blue bleeding? Did the doctor check for Klingons?

no thats why she didnt go to the doctors. she was afraid she was evolving.

...........now my friend looks very very different.

Where you recently stabbed down there....

I was sort of stabbed by my vibrator...does that count?

i was wondering if someone would post that.


anyway.. it's been said, but stress definitely messes with your cycle. it's happened to me. one of my friends didn't have a period for three months after she had a nasty breakup.

maybe your pregnant and your fetus is on the rag

I've never been on the pill Thanks...that made me feel a lot better. You are sweet. I'm not a scared now.

did anyone else think this was going to be a dilemma regarding punctuation?

also: see a doctor if you are worried, but from what i understand, spotting usually isnt anything to be scared of.

sometimes you spot when you ovulate.
