Hi all!

I’ve had a very weird month and am hoping the lovely people of mumsnet could share some advice. I usually have regular periods every 28 days. I get some spotting due to a cervical erosion/ectropian, but it’s minor, second half of my cycle and brown (sorry if TMI). Well this past month my body has decided to just go nuts. My period was 4 days late - starting on the 26th Jan instead of the 22nd. It started normally but after one day had almost completely stopped and then just brown spotting for about a week. I just thought it was a weird one off and went about my business. My next period should have been due next Thursday (25th) but it arrived stupidly early yesterday. It was a proper bleed, but again, seems to have calmed down today. I did take a pregnancy test at the beginning of February and BFN as expected.

Sorry, this feels like a rambling post, but if anyone can help or has been in the same position, I would love to hear from you!

Yes I hear you, my periods have gone completely crazy in the last 12 months! They can be early, late, or not come at all! You are not alone!

Sorry to hear you’re dealing with menstruation madness too @Skyliner001! Are you having any investigations done?

How old are you @Whizz47? I had a funny one like that but has now gone back to normal. I am 47 and putting it down to peri menopause

Hi @Arcadia! I’m 30 (just). I was really hoping the bleeding yesterday would become a full blown period and reset my body a bit. So far it isn’t looking that way, but hopefully soon 🤞🏼
