Morning,
I posted this on the autoimmune thread the other day because I wasn't sure if it might be related to my borderline high thryoid levels, but as it's period related I thought I might post on here too.
So, I'm now on day 10 of my period - this is not normal for me. I'm 45 by the way. I usually have periods every 25 ish days and they last for 4-5 days and then tail off.
This month, all started normally last week, got to last weekend and it was starting to tail off around day 5 and by day 6 it seemed to be finished.
I woke up on day 7 and went to the loo to then find that I was wiping bright red blood (sort of day 2/3 level). I also had a period pain in my lower abdomen. This bleeding wasn't heavy but was there each time I wiped. It started to tail off again though and by yesterday (day 9) I thought 'great, it's done!'.
Today is day 10 and again, when wiping this morning, there's browny-red blood again, not much but enough to show me that it hasn't ended. I also have the niggling stomach ache again.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? I'm guessing hormones of some sort?
TIA
