Heavy period then light the following month? Stress?...

Hi Ladies,

Sorry if this is TMI but I was just wondering if anyone else had ever experienced this.

Last month my period was heavier than usual, I even leaked two days in a row which is most unlike me. It actually frightened me (the amount of blood) but I put it down to stress and huge change of routine as I suddenly lost my job before Christmas which has been incredibly difficult to deal with, and still is (I'm still out of work).

I was really dreading it this month in case it was the same, but, despite having a lot of period pain yesterday (I normally get some pain) it has been really light now this month! My tampon is probably only half full each time I change and the colour is a mixture of some red but also brown and pink. Definitely don't think I'm pregnant, and the blood was definitely period like. Also don't think I'm pre-change (am 33).

Has anyone else experienced weird hormones / periods going through a significantly stressful time?

Thanks all xx
