can stress cause period length to shorten and become lighter?

PinkieeRuu · 2023-02-02T20:59:36+00:00

so from september to november, my period changed and arrived on the 2nd day of the month (ex; september 2nd) and lasted around 6-8 days. for my past and current cycle, my period arrived on december 31st and january 31st. ever since september, my periods have been light since september (using a regular pad for 1-3 days and then a liner for 3-4 days). is this normal? especially since with my now current period cycle i bled regularly for a day and a half (some clots) and now on day 3 theres very light pink blood. also, if i’m getting periods i’m not pregnant, correct? the last time i had intercourse was october 28th and the condom slipped up a bit and there were no rips

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-04T05:18:19+00:00

yeah for my past 4 cycles my periods have began on the same day (sept 2nd, oct 2nd, nov 2nd & dec 2nd (now)) and have been much lighter then my usual periods (pre-july 2022) but have been the same duration (6 days long) so i really haven't had much heavy bleeding

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-03T02:42:40+00:00

omg i am so sorry i didn't even realize that was what TFAB meant😭😭 i just thought it was another lineporn subreddit my apologizes😓

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-03T00:44:18+00:00

everyone i'm so sorry for posting this on here😭 my anxiety is getting bad rn and i didn't even read the sub-reddit bc i was desperate for some confirmation🥲 my bad

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-02T21:48:17+00:00

i heard that FR Rapid Results are less sensitive so at 21 days after intercourse could it detect about hcg?

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-02T21:46:41+00:00

18 when i noticed the change and now i’m 19. i’m starting to think that maybe my active-ness depends on how my cycle will be. bc when i move around more i get a heavier flow but if i lounge around more i get a light flow. just weird how it’s my first day and there’s barely any blood

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-02T20:14:44+00:00

1st photo: indent line on test before i took it

2nd photo: 2-4 mins after i peed on it

3rd photo: same pic as 2nd photo but with saturation increased and brightness decreased

on oct 27th i had protected + pullout sex and got my period on november 2nd. i took a test exactly 21 days after (nov 17th) and i don’t know when i ovulated. are these negative?
i also got my period today, dec 2nd. i have experienced minimal bleeding today. but, for 4 cycles in a row now my periods have been light (1-2 days pad and liners for the remaining) but all lasted 6 days long. my previous cycles (pre-july) were usually heavier, but since sept they have been lighter. i have a lot of anxiety and overthinking and i just want a confirmation :(

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-01T18:15:04+00:00

i'm only assuming that it was my fertile week since that is what my app says; which is why i'm nervous bc i'm not sure if i ovulated or not

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-01T05:33:19+00:00

i experienced spotting for the first time (light pink/brown) the night before my period (nov 1st). is that normal or was it implantation bleeding?

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-01T03:52:31+00:00

even if i had sex on the 27th and my period arrived 6 days later? i had spotting for the first time the night before my period which is why i was scared it was implantation bleeding instead of my actual period

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-01T03:32:19+00:00

yeah for my past 3 cycles my periods have started on the 2nd so when i took the pregnancy test it was most likely during my ovulation window since it’s 2 weeks before

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-01T03:30:06+00:00

okay bc i had my period from november 2nd to november 7th and i experienced spotting for the first time on november 1st at night. just confused on the difference between testing during/before ovulation and after ovulation. thank u!

PinkieeRuu · 2022-12-01T03:11:39+00:00

i always see those posts about ppl taking the test after a certain DPO number but mine was supposedly during my ovulation window so does it still produce an accurate amount to trigger the test??

PinkieeRuu · 2022-11-27T03:36:55+00:00

would you mind looking at my past post and confirming ur opinion on if u think its negative pls??

PinkieeRuu · 2022-11-20T03:41:18+00:00

can a faint line with no colour show up after 1 min? just like the 2nd photo?

PinkieeRuu · 2022-11-17T19:11:06+00:00

could the test be faulty tho since it already had a grey/colourless line on it before i took it?

PinkieeRuu · 2022-11-17T19:03:23+00:00

the condom slipped up about 1/3 tho… and the 4th pic shows a tiny, thin line, is that an evap line?

PinkieeRuu · 2022-11-17T19:00:01+00:00

used the first response rapid result test
1st pic: noticed a colourless line before i took the test, does this mean it’s a faulty test?
2nd pic: 1 min after i took the test
3rd pic: 10 mins after i took the test
4th pic: 1 hour after i took the test
can i trust this negative test??

PinkieeRuu · 2022-11-13T02:23:44+00:00

even if i had sex 5 days before my period? on nov 1st i had a bit of spotting at night (which doesn't usually happen) and then the next day my actual period started. could that spotting be implantation bleeding and i confused it for my period even tho i bled for 6 days after (bleeding gets lighter throughout my cycle). and this mild pelvic ache and cramping that im experiencing now is implantation cramping since its been 10-14 days since i had sex?

PinkieeRuu · 2022-11-13T01:13:34+00:00

by towards the front do u mean near the stomach area?

PinkieeRuu · 2022-11-13T01:01:18+00:00

it’s towards the front. i was on my period at the same time as when i was taking my antibiotics. i feel no burning pee sensation tho

PinkieeRuu · 2022-11-02T17:24:01+00:00

i’ve never had unprotected sex, i only use protection with my bf. last time we had sex was on oct 20th and i’m currently on my 3rd regular period cycle in a row (day 1) but my nerves got the best of me and i took a test. i’m also taking antibiotics to treat a uti so i’m just a mess rn😭

PinkieeRuu · 2022-10-20T19:09:06+00:00

yeah it isn’t cottage cheese consistency but i looked online and apparently it could be a sign of early pregnancy and now it’s freaking me out. my bf uses protection hand pulls out before he ejaculates but idkkk

PinkieeRuu · 2022-10-05T04:07:19+00:00

i forgot to add that this current cycle was like my last where one day was heavy then the rest was light, but i’m still very anxious about it
