Should I be concerned about my cycles?

[Holly654]

Evening,

I’m quite concerned about my cycle this month. I usually have on average 24 / 25 day cycles, with bleeding for 5 days. I am 31. Period in Sept was 26/09.

This month, on 17/10, I started bleeding. Cycle day 22. Started brown then got heavier, I’m still bleeding on day 7. It’s not heavy any more but still flowing steadily and still bright red. My periods are never painful but this one I’ve had a fair bit of cramping, which kept me from getting to sleep one night. I now have mild cramps which I can only describe to feel the same as ovulation type cramps.

I’ve started to wonder if this could have been a chemical pregnancy.

thank you so much in advance for any advice, very grateful as I’m quite worried.

@Holly654 it is probably just an off month. It does happen. If it was a chemical pregnancy, you won't know because you've not tested. Depends what day you ovulated as cd22 sounds v early for implantation to have happened / half-happened to them create a loss.

Thank you that’s very reassuring. I’m still light bleeding day 8. I’ve never bled for this long or had a cycle this short before 😕
