Hey there. I had a quick question about how things can affect and change your period. I am 26 years old, active sexual life until we seperated a few days ago, and also am apart of the Multiple Sclerosis forum of this website. Recently I have been having flare ups with my MS and am now on steriods and such since 3 days ago. However, I do not remember the last time i have had my period. My memory is very blurred from all the stress being out on my body from my MS flare up. I do remember however, waking up at my boyfriends house and there being blood/redness on the TP, so put in a tampon. Then i remember going to change tampons and there was nothing there, but i still put in another tampon, for in my mind i was definitely getting more than 30 minutes of a period b/c mine last a few days heave one day than light the next. I changed my tampon a few more times and figured "okay maybe this was just a false period/spotting/..going to get the real deal probably the next morning. Never happened, so i really did not think about it until recently. From all the stress and my flare ups/relapses happening i really truely dont remember the day or even week or possible month my last period was. Maybe that happened during the end of November or begining of Dec? I truly am not sure. But am sure only 30 minutes is not normal. I just thought it would come later, but kind of forgot about it from all the other stuff going on, that now that everything is getting bak to normal im starting to remember all this. Mainly remember b/c i was x rayed for my knees b/c i ould no longer bend with my knees with excuatating pain and my father would have to pick me up and i called the dr and he said get x rayed that very same day and come in and see him tomorrow wich is than when i was givin steriods since the xrays were clean and meant it was MS again flaring up from trying to work a job that strained my body to much. What i am getting at tho is the xray lady said are you pregnant? and thats how i remember all this b/c i couldnt answer her and she put a thing over my stomach just in case.
Now with all this coming back to me, im not really that worried I am, for some reason b/c we are always safe and i have been scared before and had taken tests and were negative, but always got my period like the next day or days after the test.
Unfortunate I cant remember, i been trying to narrow it down by events like ok i started the job this day... no period i remember when i worked i been working since decemeber 3rd until today (thankfully FB reminded me when i started my job) Than i remember asking my boyfriends kid for a tampon tho that day i got it for 30 minutes which would of had to been after my last relapse of MS and in btw and getting this job and training?
Im so confused and lost and having my mother pick me up a test today b/c 30 minutes is not normals.. but all this stress and my disease and all these different medicines from the relapses and also injections i take weekly for MS is all definalty stressing me out the my limit.
Sounds ridiculous i don't remember and maybe really am not asking a question, but more of support you could say. Any advice would be great or knowledge or experience of just a period lasting only 30 minutes and what he results were... did you end up getting your real one in a day or so or end up pregnant or anything. I will be getting a test today, but i am thinking if i cant remember and really was this long ( like 2 months) with only 30 minute period(if that was a period) there is a good chance of . Thank you for reading this and letting me get it all out there.
