Hello, my name is Hana :-) I usually have normal periods...They're usually heavy and painful for the first 2 days, but I've learned to live with it for the most part.
However, ever since the week I turned 21 (Last week), my menstruation (or at least, I think it is!) has been very weird... It is light, sometimes barely there. On certain days it is there and I only need to wear a liner. But on other days it is hardly ever there, and I only see a weird coloring when I clean myself. Another thing is that my blood is not a normal red...It has a weird orange color to it now. I usually have bad cramps along with my period, but this time I had none whatsoever. Also, my 'period' seemed to last an entire week, which isn't normal.
The other day, along with all these symptoms, I had a weird pain on the lower right side of my back for most of the day. I've also been having bad back pains around where my shoulders are. I thought it would be stress because of me dealing with college, but all of this is very odd. I used to be anemic, could this be a sign that I am anemic again, or that I have any other deficiency? Please help :-(

Has this happened more than once? If it hasn’t, is there any chance that you might be pregnant? If you can be sure that you are not, it’s definitely possible that stress is behind all of this, but that depends on whether the time before that period was any more stressful than it was before. Change in type of period, its length or in the amount of blood does happen even without any obvious cause, but you are right, anemia is important in all of this, but this isn’t a sign that you’re anemic again. This all would mean a problem only if it continues for more than few months, for now it’s all normal.

Hana, this sounds exactly like me. i felt stupid telling anyone this because ppl act like i'm crazy but i just recently seen the doctor today and they dont seem to know what it is, so i was just wondering if you ever figured it out.
