Hi, I have never posted before,but not sure where to get any advice. You see my mum died last year and I am struggling.

This month my period was heavier than normal it lasted it's 4 days. Then started again the next day, stopped again then started again . I am so scared and stressed can anyone help.

Stress can affect periods, so I wouldn't worry too much. If you have several periods that are unusual then perhaps see your GP but otherwise it's probably nothing much to be concerned about.

If it stops I wouldn’t worry overly. It’s normal for stress to affect your period. If it gets heavier and continues incessantly then pop to your GP.
Last year I had a lot of stress, lost my job and had an accident - my periods stopped for six months. It just happens.

I am sorry about your mum 💐 be kind to yourself.

@Belinda555 you're welcome. It's hard losing mums. As @MaggieBsBoat says, be kind to yourself 😊

OP, can I ask if you're 35+? It might be the start of perimenopause. I'm sorry about your Mum.
