ABOUT PERIOD BLEEDING (irregular period)

ok so i started mii period yesterday. but it was kinda backwards. it started out really light. i got cramps first in the middle of class at that (not h.s., college, im 20) and sometimes mii cramps get so bad that they kinda make mii legs hurt or get kinda numb. but uh i went pee and mii period came on but it was really light. then today it became really heavy. idk if thats normal for it to start light and get heavy but i have never had regular periods. mii cycle is anywhere from 33-44 days and sometimes a max of like 50 something. i was just wondering if it is normal for any one with any kind of cycle for their period to start of light and get heavier over the time.

thanks...allie.

Many women including me have spotting (very light flow) before period gets heavy, so yes that is pretty normal. Are you trying to get pregnant? Having a cycle length longer than 35 days between periods is not considered normal. It can indicate a problem that can affect fertility.

You might consider keeping a journal of your period symptoms and what date they happen on (light or heavy flow, when you have cramps, etc). You could bring it to your next doctor's visit and that would probably help them give you advice about what is going on.

I understand exactly what you're saying. I have irregular periods since i started, I started my period whe i was 9yrs old. I have a lot of female health problems including the irregular bleeding. My OBGYN put me on a low dose birth control called Levlan so it could get my periods regular and it worked. I do have cycles that start out lighter than others then gets heavy so yes that is normal, but the length between your cycles is not normal and i would advise that you go the your dr and ask him about getting your cycles on track, even if tat means birth control. I hope this helps.

Best of luck,
