Abnormal period - should I be worried

Hi everyone. So last April I got the implant removed and since then my periods have been everywhere. I’ve had months with no periods, months with 2 periods, 40 day cycles then the month after it’ll be 33 days. It’s just all crazy and even though it’s a year later, my periods are still not steady. This month however has been a very different one. Last Thursday I was basically spotting which I thought was a bit strange. I went onto my period app and said I’m ovulating so that put my mind at rest thinking it was ovulation. 3 days down the line I’m still spotting so I was getting a bit concerned but left it. It was heavy or painful just to add. After 3 days of spotting I woke up the next morning to the blood basically looking like menstrual blood. Which obviously scared me because my period wasn’t due for another 2 weeks or so. So since Monday I’ve been on some sort of period. I called my GP and had a over the phone appointment and I was telling him I can’t be pregnant, only been with one partner and so has he so can’t have any STIs, I told him my periods are not normal etc and he came to the conclusion that it was just a very odd period but not to be worried. Not going to lie, I wasn’t convinced. Later that day I decided to call a nurse from 111 and she asked more in depth questions which I preferred. Overall she said it was a period caused by either stress or my irregular shift patterns at work. She told me that if I am still bleeding within 2 weeks, to see a GP immediently. Anyway, it’s now Thursday and I’m still bleeding. Don’t really know when i will stop bleeding but since the spotting it’s been a week now. I really hope to god that I stop bleeding by Sunday because if I see that I’m bleeding longer than I should then I’m gonna crap myself. It’s bad enough I only had a 17 day cycle this month so I’m beyond scared at this point. My birthday is on Tuesday and I’m going on holiday in 2 weeks time and this situation is doing nothing but putting me on a downer. I don’t know what to do or think. I’m just putting my situation on here just hoping someone can relate to my situation.

Sorry I made a mistake ^ my period/spotting has not been painful or heavy so nothing too concerning

I had a very similar episode to yourself hun, how often are you changing pad/tampon ?

ReanneB24 · 20/09/2019 13:39

I’d say changing a pad every 4 hours. Sometimes more sometimes less. It can be lighter on some days and others it’s like a period. It’s so strangeHmm
