I'm 22 and mine is horrible for the first day and normal the second day.. then normaly gone the third day.
I'm also not on birth control.
the only think that worries me, is my mother has always had odd timing with her mentration,
and she has also gone through over 20 mis-carrages.

Hello all,
I have been in the same situation lately and I am a little worried. Originally I was taking Yaz until all of those commercials started coming onto TV about heart issues and what not, and since I do have a heart murmur I switched. I have always had significantly heavy periods which is why i'm concerned, ever since I was put onto new birth control, I get the terrible cramps and wierd pains in my stomach like someone else was saying, the first day is pretty normal then it just shuts off. Is this normal? I am just wondering if I need to switch the birth control again, and if it is having a negative effect. At the age of 21 I would prefer not to damage my fertility as I would like to have a family some day but am concerned. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

I was on birth control pills for 2 months in my early 20's (I kept getting my period every 2 weeks so my dr put me on the pill to regulate my period, I couldn't stay on the pill due to side effects - they gave me optical migraines where I went temporarily blind from the pill). My period returned back to normal on it's own, 5 to 7 days flow. When I turned around 30 my flow dropped to 3 days. When I turned 35 it was 2 days and I started experiencing night sweats and hot flashes. I am now 37 and just went to see an endocrinologist this past week because the last few months I only flow for 24 hours or less I went to see an endo Dr to get my hormones checked. I just got my lab results back today, ALL labs are normal. My FSH level was a 6 which is normal for my age. For those who are trying to get pregnant you CAN get your hormones checked to see what level your FSH is. Under 6 is excellent, 6 to 9 is good, 9 to 10 is fair, 10 to 13 is diminished reserved, 13+ is very hard to stimulate (this is your ovarian reserve). My thyroid is enlarged but my thyroid blood test comes back normal. I am getting a ultrasound done on my thyroid in a few weeks. My endo Dr also wants me to get a vaginal ultrasound done with my GYN before my next appointment w/my Endo Dr. to assess the thickness of the endometrium which I guess can affect your menstruation. You can have your dr check all your hormone levels (including pituitary, thyroid, adrenal etc) if your regular doctor won't do it then go see an endocrinologist. You can also ask your GYN about the endometrium ultrasound.
Hi All
Im kind of glad to see that there are people in the same boat as me. I'm 19 years old and went off bc last summer..but my periods have since then become less and less. Now each month im lucky if I get a day of bleeding, it's then just spotting for about 2 days then it's done. Since it does come every month, my gyno said I should have nothing to worry about..got my hormones tested and everything is perfectly fine..not to mention 3 consecutive negative pt's.
The only advice I could give is to talk to your gyno..worst case scenerio it could be PCOS (Poly cystic ovarian syndrom) which there are a lot of women who do have it, which was the reason I started google'ing this stuff and the possible causes for it. All we can do is just ask questions and hope for the best i suppose

Hi Everyone,
I kind of have a problem and i want to know if anyone has ever experienced this and could help?
I am 19 years old, sexually active, and i take the Pill (Microgyn 30)
I am not very good at taking it, I MISS QUITE A LOT! Sometimes i can not take it for two days striaght a few times in the packet. i am thinking of having the implant to make everything more safe.
For the past couple of moneths i have had light 1/2 day period and have been abnormal periods.
i am late this month and i am getting quite worried.
i did last year have to have a scan to check everyting was ok as i was not having proper periods and was having more like a brown discharge which turnt out to be that i needed to come off the pipp for a month and go back on to flush out my system as they say.
Does anyone know whty this might be happening?
Thanks

i too only am on my period for 1 day.
if i start Friday morning i am heavy for the first half of the day and then by Saturday morning i am completely finished i find it strange that i am now but i have been only going 1-3 days max for almost 11 years. after my daughter was born.
i have never been what you would call regular my cycle is anywhere between 21 to 31 days i have been told that i seem to ovulate more then once a month but am very prone to cystic ovaries. i have simply become used to being e regular. just now it seems to be getting lighter.
i am only 29,

Dont feel bad i been having the same problem the only difference is i just got on birth control to help it and it didn't work. For the past year i have been having extremely light menstruals and as soon as i got on birth control it just lightened it. my last period was exactly a day long and i didn't start it till the second to last pill in the pack. I did start doing some research on it. Light menstruals or even the absence of one that is not due to menopause can be a sign of thyroid problems. Talk to your doctor. Make sure they test the hormone levels in the blood and in the cell tissue. just because they seem normal in the blood don't mean they are normal in the cell tissue. and as i said it can be a sign it don't mean that it is. so talk to your health care physician. for get the OBGYN because sometime they cant tell you your problem and they don't usually associate thyroid problems with menstruals when the thyroid has a great deal to do with it.
Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one, though it seems I am the youngest. I've been this way for about 3 years now and I just turned 19. For me I get a really bad stomach ache a bout an hour before I get my first spots. Then the next day I have such bad pains that I either have to be sedated or I've even gone to the hospital a few times, though they say the pains are from about 5 or 6 cysts on my ovaries. The bleeding used to be really heave, but now it's about medium. The day after that nothing happens. Then another day later I get like one spot and I'm done for the month.
I haven't talk to gyn. about this, mainly because they make me very uncomfortable and I've had bad experiences with one in the past. So know other people out there have this problem too, I feel better.

im only 13 and iv had mine since i was 11 and iv only ever had mine for a average 1 day at the most of 2
I'm on pills for 2 months. Last month I have my regular flow which was 2 days bleeding and 3-5 days spotting. This month, also on pills, I have more than half day bleeding and getting less to almost none. I am glad to read this thread and feel better. I didn't know that the pills can lessen the bleeding or period.
:$ Hello everyone, I'm kinda in the same position i had my iud for 10 years
and took it out last ending summer and i've notice that ever since my periods went from being around 7 days
to now 2 days and it's not even a heavy flow, its good because periods are so always unwelcome and yucky but at
the same time it wories me as far as heath purposes. As long as it doesn't cause any disfuncions then i guess is perfectly ok,
although i know that there's got to be a more logic explanation for it.
(ANY ONE KNOW?)

Did anyone figure out the cause for this. I too have been seeing a change in my period. It'll start on Thursday, but Friday morning nothing. I am 24yrs of age, not on any birth control, I have two children and I've been wiht the same partner for 11yrs. I've wondered if it was the fact that I've put on weight within the last year. I don't now maybe it's just stress, well I'll keep looking for answers until something makes since to me.
I am 26 years old not married and no babies yet but do really want them cos am not on pills, i have bin troubled abt dis for a while now. Usually my period last for 3 - 3 and half days but for the past three months its bin 2 days or 1 and half. this month i had it for just one day. i am really scared, what could be wrong?
