Why did I get my period early?

I am a 27 year old female and I always get my periods regularly, and my last period was on 17th October 2024, and my next cycle was supposed to be on 13th November. But instead, I got my period today (1st November). I got it 13 days before my regular cycle. What could be the reason?

It’s normal for periods to arrive a bit early or late occasionally. An early period can be caused by stress, changes in diet or exercise, or hormonal imbalances. If an irregular period happens only once, it’s usually not a cause for concern. Just focus on maintaining your physical and mental health, eating a balanced diet, and managing stress. However, if irregular periods continue, see a gynecologist for a check-up.

Why can't I sleep during my periods?

Female | 22

It is quite usual for a girl to have a hard time sleeping during her period. One of the major factors behind this is hormonal changes. During menstruation, your body releases more prostaglandins, which can lead to cramps and affect your sleep patterns. You can also have problems sleeping because of the feeling of fullness, irritation, and anxiety. To feel better, one may try drinking calming tea, applying a heating pad, and relaxing around bedtime.

I am a 22 year old female, I started taking my birth control again and have been for a week now. I started my period after starting my birth control again. However, my period or whatever is happening has been occuring for almost 10 days now. The bleeding is very light with just two days of it being a medium flow. My breasts aren't tender, my acne is bad, my hair is a bit oily, I do feel gassy, my back hurts a bit and I feel mildly nauseous here and there.

It sounds more like your body is only getting used to birth control. It is quite common to have irregular bleeding when you start using birth control. Light bleeding, acne, oily hair, gas, back pain, and nausea are also possible side effects of the hormones in birth control. Allow some time to ensure the body gets used to the medicine. And if these symptoms persist or become stronger, please get in touch with your gynecologist for advice.

I am 20 year old women. My periods has been delayed. It is delayed for 37-38 days. My last period on October 30 th. I feel mood swings, anger issues, leg pain, headache etc. What I do now?

Female | 20

It's normal to be worried about your late period, which may be the result of things like stress, hormonal imbalances, or changes in your daily activities. The mood swings, leg pain, and headaches you are facing can also be associated with these transformations. I advise you to take a home pregnancy test to make sure that the reasons are not related to pregnancy and if so could you be pregnant. You can also consult a gynecologist for further advice.

I have had long light period that lasted for three weeks and spotting after and now with cervic mucus and a burning sensation in lower abdomen. A few months ago my blood test showed higher LH levels than FSH. What could it be please?

Female | 40

You may have a hormone imbalance, meaning your hormone levels aren't in the right ratio. This can affect your menstrual cycle, leading to spotting between periods, unusual cervical mucus, and lower abdominal pain. A blood test showing higher LH levels compared to FSH also suggests an imbalance. It's important to see a doctor for a full check-up. They can examine you and discuss treatment options, which may include medication or lifestyle changes to manage the imbalance effectively.
