hi! not sure if this forum is too active but I decided to check places out after realizing exactly how long my period has lasted.
im 23, I have NO pain, no itching, no aches, nothing. my period used to cycle back and forth from UNGODLY HEAVY and short, to super long and light at the age of 14-17. then it changed to a 1.5 week long period that was super light every 3 months
And as of last year in March, I got my light period. and it just hasnt stopped. it's INCREDIBLY light, though enough to require a panty liner, sometimes a pad. once a month it'll have one day with nothing the next it'll be heavy, I'll feel like I'm having a period, and I'll pass ~5-7 pretty big blood clots. after 2 days it will go back to the super light unnoticeable flow.
it doesn't smell, hurt, itch, ache, etc. I've never had sex, and there's only been a finger up there once like four years ago. basically untouched (raised in a strict Christian household)
I never bothered getting it checked out because there isn't any pain, so I figured it'd end eventually. and now I've gotten health insurance for the first time but I'm still getting cold feet about going, because like I said experience is incredibly minimal.
this is getting long but other factors? I'm slightly large not really obese or fat. I'm keeping acne at bay with a high maintenence skin fat routine (if I miss two days it's acne ahoy). I'm HAIRY. I have to tweeze a full on beard every 3 days and I have to wax my stomach for a legit happy trail. I also get light headed and fatigued very easily, so I'm suspicious if I'm becoming anemic but idk.. I'm fairly certain there's something hormonal going on, it's just no pain is throwing me for a loop.
I honestly just want to stop spending money on pads lmao
