570004 tn?1226980196 Over the past several months (since about July – a month or two after I started on levothyroxine) I've noticed that my menstrual cycle is about a week shorter than it used to be. It was about 36 days before, but now it seems to be about 28 days at most - if anything it's getting shorter; not going back to the way it was before. Does anyone know if this is normal / related to hypothyroidism? I am 31 years old. Thank you.
Avatar n tn Before the 4 months my cycle was light and lasted about 3 days, however this cycle has been on for 4days with heavy bleeding and clots. Can you tell me what is going on with my body.
Avatar f tn For the majority of women, a shorter-than-average menstrual period is no cause for concern. As women age, their cycles regulate and the days of bleeding may shorten. It's not uncommon for women to have periods lasting only a couple of days. Women who are worried about the decrease in the number of days on their menstrual period should consult their physician. lifestyle of the woman. Stress from work or relationships may cause the bleeding to become more severe or stop sooner than normal.

Avatar n tn I say this because a few years ago my periods started getting farther and farther apart, and it turned out my hormone levels were out of whack so the gynecologist put me on birth control pills to fix the problem.
Avatar f tn The last day of your cycle is the day before your next menstrual period starts. The average cycle length is considered 28 days, but many women have longer or shorter cycles and it's fine. The average women ovulates approximately 14 days before the start of her period, but again, that is certainly not carved in stone. The time between your ovulation and period is referred to as a luteal phase. Hope that helps.
Avatar m tn Well the cycle stopped right after Thanksgiving and this is the second cycle that has started since then in less than a month :-(
Avatar f tn menstrual phase, follicular phase, ovulatory phase and luteal phase of the menstrual cycle).. a mild odor which you said vaginal odor is there because of this cervical mucous but if it's very strong it might be due to infection.. don't worry it's absolutely normal.. good luck..
Avatar f tn Have you had a period since ur miscarriage? I don't think spotting is a sign of ovulation, it may just be some old blood, I have read it is commen to spot alittle between periods after a miscarriage.
237053 tn?1258828426 when I first got symptoms - I had definate 4 weekly flares - now it is a lot more random - so I think maybe at first the flares have to do with the initial 'bacteria's' cycle - before they start to multiply - just guessing too. Fibromyalgia flares 4 weekly too - doesn't it ? [or maybe I am getting confused !!
Avatar n tn Recently I started getting my period every two weeks... my diet and physical aspects have not changed..
Avatar n tn Sorry it's my brain not seeing what is there. I read your message as "I do have this condition" my brain didn't register the "If" bit first. Because you are going for months without having periods this is not normal even if your mother did have the same. May be your mother didn't have a blood test to check her hormone levels. Another reason why your mother went for months without periods and then had one may be that she had started the change of life.
Avatar f tn It is a very good time to get pregnant; it happened to me. Well, you know; I didn't have a clue.
Avatar n tn i am a lady aged 23. i only have my periods once in three or four months. am i normal or is there something wrong with me. some times i bleed a lot.
Avatar n tn s the process of implantation (where the baby attaches to the uterus wall). It is commonly confused with a menstrual cycle because some women experience cramps, but it's usually a lot lighter (like spotting) and somewhat shorter (for some) and usually happens 6-12 days after conception. (this is why a woman is advised to wait atleast 14 days to take a home pregnancy test). Any other bleeding during pregnancy can be a variety of complications or reasons.
Avatar n tn I was wondering why I get so sick with my menstrual cycle, the first two days are the worst, I feel like I'm gone to pass out. Is there any I can take to prevent these sickness.
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for the the feedback, it's greatly appreciated! I wanted to add that have been using ovulation test(s) during day 14 to 22 of my 28 to 29 day cycle. My test was done every other day and it determined my ovulation on day 22 (7 days prior to next expected menstrual cycle). My concern is that the lunear phase isn't long enough as it seems less than 12 days. I've been testing for 2 months now.
Avatar f tn s milky and thin for most of her cycle, though at mid-cycle when she is getting ready to ovulate, it changes to being clear enough to read a newspaper through and thick and stretchy (like raw eggwhite) -- that is the famous "eggwhite cervical mucus" that prepares the uterus to receive sperm and rush it up to the waiting egg. Neither thing is worthy of alarm, it just means your self-cleaning vagina is keeping itself clean and ready for its future job.

Avatar f tn Thank you and hes not rough with me just when i get hugs they are tender and do you know if lack of sleep affects the hormone balance of the menstrual cycle as for being possibly shorter?
Avatar f tn Along with a sonogram. The baby is completely healthy its just my cycles are annoying! Morning sickness is already bad as it could be but now I gotta add cramps!
