Vaginal bleeding

Hi there, 

I'm looking to see if anyone else has experienced this. I have a very fast paced and demanding job, I'm a deputy manager of a nursing unit. I also lost my mum in June 2021 in horrific circumstances and have found since then my period is a bit all over the place. I know I'm stressed 99% of the time at the moment; and that it might be having an impact on my cycle. 
so for recent months my period hasn't been regular, it's never been bang on but always monthly until 6 months ago, some months it's 28 days between others it's 38 days. I took what I thought was my normal period at the beginning of December bled for two days and it stopped for five days ever since then I have had spotting, some days it's slightly heavier, initially the discharge smelled strongly but that seems to have gone. I'm over due on my smear test but do have it booked.

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    I am sorry to hear that you are troubled by some recent symptoms.

    Unfortunately, this forum isn't really meant for people with symptoms, as each person's situation is different, and therefore it isn't usually that helpful to compare.

    There are many reasons for erratic periods, such as stress, dieting, hormone level changes, contraception changes, and various gynaecological conditions, such as fibroids. In someone young, this is common, and not likely to be anything serious.

    Do keep a diary of period dates, and speak with your GP who can assess you and advise you further.

    Wishing you the best,
