Question: My menstrual cycle irregular activity:
I'm a 34yr old athletically active woman with a lean physic. I'm 5'9 and about 130lbs I've had some strange cycle changes in the past couple months that concern me.. I got engaged in January and have been planning my wedding since then.
I stopped birth control a year ago October, which I was on for 18yrs. It took about 4-5 months to establish some normal cycle tendencies which begin about the 1st of the month and lasted 5 days. July was the last normal cycle month. At August 15th my cycle started again just 2 weeks after its July completion and lasted 5 days. Around September 16th my cycle started again which lasted 5 days changing my normal monthly cycle time. Once this September cycle ended its 5 day run, I had a reprieve of 2 days then it started again but this time a dark colored thick discharge of blood was present and lasting 5 days. From that time to present I've still been bleeding but using a tampon on and off. September 13th of last month I got married. We had been planning our wedding since January of this year. I know stress can make changes to my body but the bleeding seems excessive. Any input you would have would be greatly appreciated.
