I am 23, 5 5 , around 135-140 lbs, medical history: childhood athsma, seasonal allergies, a heart murmur that turned out to be nothing, tubes in my ears as a toddler, an adenoidectomy, cysts removed from my forehead and earlobe. I have been having extremely abnormal periods for about a year now. For three consecutive months I had 2 periods a month. One would come when my period normally came but would be lighter and last longer, and the other would come mid-cycle and would be almost entirely brown discharge and last for almost 8 days. Then after those 3 months, it seemed like my period had gone back to a normal schedule but then I noticed that it has been getting increasingly light to the point that it barely lasts for 3 days, if that. It s also a different consistency, more mucous-like. Every now and then I get aches in what feels like my kidneys and now I m noticing my hair on my head seems thinner, and I m noticing more is coming out than usual in the shower. I don t know if any of those symptoms are related to each other, but thought it would be better if I included everything.
