Hello ,I am a 25 year old young lady. I am 5’4’’ at 115 lbs. I can’t really tell you that my cycles are abnormal for the simple fact I receive them healthily every month. I’ve for some unknown reason I have been tracking my cycle since July of 07.
July 1, 07- July 31, 07= 30 day cycle
July 31, 07- August 26, 07= 26 day cycle
August 26, 07- September 22, 07= 27 day cycle
September 22, 07- October 23, 07= 31 day cycle
October 23, 07- November 23, 07= 31 day cycle
November 23, 07- December 10, 07= 17 day cycle
December 10, 07- January 9, 08= 30 day cycle
January 9, 08- February 7, 08= 29 day cycle
Ok, so here’s the problem… January 9, 08 my cycle started and it was light pink the first day, dry brown the second day, and gone the third day. Yes!, I’m pregnant! Not so quite the forth day came and I started cramping a little worse then I usually do, and the fifth day I had a large clot. So maybe I passed a baby 1 ? I called my doctor and the nurse said that she don’t want to mislead me into thinking I was pregnant and lost a baby. February the 7th came and the cycle was brown, but full, “no spotting”, the 8th brown spotting, the 9th spotting, 10 gone? Implantation bleeding maybe 2? How long/soon does this happen if it was/is implantation bleeding 3?
I don’t believe in drugs so I don’t take medications/ birth control pills, nor do I smoke or drink. I’m not strict on my diet but I have an ok one. I am healthy and my family has no trace or any cancer. I have two kids from a different guy that I’m trying with right now; a little boy who is 6 and a little girl who is 4.5 “as she would say”.
My boyfriend who is 37 and I have been practicing unprotected sex since December of 07. In addition to him being hurt by playing sports “in the you know what hurts area”, he has slow swimmers. But slow just means slow right4? He has no kids and he says he never tried to have any till he met me.
1. So maybe I passed a baby?
2. Implantation bleeding maybe?
3. How long/soon does this happen if it was/is implantation bleeding?
4. But slow just means slow right?
Thank you,
Tori

Thanks Dr. Downing. Does a structural abnl present this way? How does a luteal phase defect present? Since i barely have a period, i assumed i wasnt making a sufficeint lining...
Hello,
Thank you for such a thorough history. You report a normal hormonal work up and a history that doesn't sound like PCOS. Also, you are still having a regular menstruation although the flow has notably lightened.
If you are concerned about a structural abnormality an hysterosalpingogram to evaluate your uterine cavity and patency of the fallopian tubes can be helpful.
However, unless you have been trying to conceive unsuccessfully, I wouldn't do anything at this time. The change in the menses is not clear, but it doesn't mean it will impact your fertility.
Best wishes,
Dr. Downing
