Change in Mentrausl Cycle
Hello,
I am 33 years old and until about 3 months ago my menstrual cycle has been on point.
About 3 months ago I had my normal cycle for the usual 5 days. About 2 weeks after the end of my cycle,
I stating to have some dark brownish red bleeding for 3days (enough for me to insert a tampon but not constant like a "normal" period). The following month I got my "Normal" period about a week after I was due for it. It was normal and I did not bleed mid month.
Well I got my period again on November 30th (about 4 days earlier than the last month. This lasted the "normal" 5 days. Well about a week and a half after it ended I start to bleed again normal color for about 2 or 3days (again enough for me to insert a tampon but not constant like a "normal" period).
Well I was due for my "normal" period on or after the 30th and I'm now 8 days late. I have taken 5 pregnancy tests (the last one this morning) even though my husband and I take preventative measure, I just wanted to rule that out.
I don't believe I'm pregnant, I'm worried something could be wrong. I'm not stressing out any different than any other time. I have an appt with my Gyn on the 18th but would like some input..
Thank you.

Hello,
High level of stress, cholesterol, hormonal imbalance, chain smoking, dramatic changes in your life style may be some of the common causes of you irregular periods.
If this was the first episode of irregularity in the periods, then wait for the coming cycle and try lifestyle modification by reducing stress and decreasing cholesterol levels. But if the repeat happens, then consult a gynecologist and get yourself thoroughly examined to diagnose the cause of irregular periods and start with the treatment.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
