I'm 25F, had a pap smear 2 weeks ago and it was normal but doctor gave me a yeast prescription which I still haven't taken. I know I'm really bad with this stuff I delay a lot of things. It's just one pill so I thought I wait wait a bit.

Anyway, I woke up this morning and peed and didn't notice anything on underwear. Then I peed again in the afternoon and noticed this stain on my underwear that's making me really anxious. I did poop yesterday so I thought maybe I didn't wipe properly and it made it's way to my vagina and caused this stain on my underwear. Also when I wiped this morning there was some poop from my butt, not a lot, even though the last time I pooped was yesterday. The second option is it's vaginal discharge but it's brown and looks like poop which is not normal for me so I'm concerned. Even when my doctor said I had a slight yeast infection my discharge was usually clear or white or sometimes a bit light yellow but not brown like this.

Does this look like poop or could it be vaginal discharge? I don't detect smells that well but it does smell a bit sour, not really like poop but it could still be.

Should I go to doctor and should I show her this picture?

so i had an abortion in september 24, and didn’t get my period in october. november and december my period returned as normal and i didn’t have any worries. i then came on my period 2-3 weeks later on 31st jan-4th jan i came on again 16th and 17th of jan and then again 31st of jan. i’ve been bleeding through super plus tampons hourly even though it’s only a few days each time. i have rashes all over my body and keep feeling as though im about to faint.

has anyone else had this?

I'm 22M and my GF is 25. she doesn't have bad symptoms at her period, but she gets a headache, feeling unwell and minor stomache. She's keep saying she's okay even if I wanted to help, so I hope to get some advices for the best behaviour for her.

I could not, for the love of God, stop eating. PMS brings out the demon in me and breakfast + lunch alone, I've already eaten 1,300+ calories. You might think it's low, right? No, it isn't. I'm 4'11, my maintenance weight is 1,500, and the most I can do to lose weight is eat at a -200 deficit. Even after binging, my hunger remains insatiable. I want to eat. But I don't want to lose track.

How does everyone else do it? How do I stay consistent in my diet?

This is the second month that my period will be late due to late ovulation. I am not pregnant and not trying to convince, so I only care about my health. Last month my period came on day 44, as I've had the ovulation 2 days before getting my period and apparently this month I've had the clear egg white liquid on the day I was supposed to get my period. I'll be turning 40 in a few months and I'm not sure if this is a sign of perimenopause or what else.

Could this be related to my age, starting perimenopause or something else? Any similar experiences?

Age 31. I bought that up to my doctor before and she don’t believe it. I never had period migraine until 2021. My period symptoms usually were cramp and tender breast. Now my symptoms range from bloating, anxiety, depression, disruptive sleep, knee ache, and 99% of the time, migraine. In 2022, if I kept my stress lvl down I could still avoid period migraine but since 2023, all my period has some sort of migraine. The only thing I don’t have is the hot flashes I read online about.

Side note, in 2022 I was diagnosed with PCOS.

😩 as I write this I feel like bombing myself. Am having another bad period migraine with nausea. Lying down isn’t helping much and a bag of ice isn’t helping either. God just please take me already.

i'm worried since i only have heavy period (my pad gets full) only on the first day. Does this also happen to any if you?

Does it eat that I just had to spend $40 on pads?

Valentines day is coming up and my boyfriend is visiting for the week, around Feb. 14-21 (we're long distance). The problem is, my period is scheduled for that very week. I've never taken birth control before, but if I were to start now would it delay my upcoming period?

What is genuinely the best way to deal with bad backaches, I usually get horrible back aches especially on my first day, what are some things you guys would recommend or you do to relieve the aches?

Im 15 and I keep missing periods, I started my period at the age of 11 and since then ive had a very regular period and id never be more than a day late, around September 2024 I started missing periods, ive gotten my period once since then and it only lasted like 2 days, im currently 32 days late i know im not pregnant as I’ve had many tests done and doctors tested me for pcos which came back negative, does anyone else relate and if so did you find out the cause?

Hey everyone, I’m feeling really stressed right now. I found something concerning with my 7years old daughter and I’m not sure if it’s her period or something else. This morning, she mentioned having a stomachache, and I’ve noticed she’s starting to develop breast buds and has some pubic hair. She also has hyperthyroidism. Three months ago, when we had her appointment, I told the doctor about these changes, and they said it wasn’t related to that. But now I’m really wondering. She’s already physically maturing, looking more like a 13 years old, though her mind is still that of a 7 years old, so I’m not sure how to talk to her about this. Any advice or thoughts?

For the longest time, my periods were very consistent but lately my period has been weird. I've had consistent ones until now, with my last period ending Jan 27th and it looks like I started a new cycle today. Is something wrong cause I'm trying not to freak out. I did have an IUD but it came out in May of last year so idk if that could be an explanation

For TL;DR: have PCOS, got 4 blood clots in 2021, got taken off Sprintec and am now on Eliquis for life. Started having period issues, went on Jencycla.

The Jencycla worked for a bit, about 3 months, and then I started having a bad period again. It wasn't as bad; I wasn't going through pants and panties every 2 hours like I had been. But still, concerned. I went in to my gyno and learned that I had to have a D&C done (I have a thickened uterine wall). Which, fine. But at this point, I was still on my period. The gyno put me on Slynd instead, saying it was better at making the bleeding stop. Well, I saw her on the 17th. I slowed for about 3 days, but now, I'm still bleeding, and at times passing watery-looking clots. I don't have fatigue or dizziness or anything. I was told I could have the D&C done while on my period, and I'm seriously considering it. I just feel so exhausted emotionally; I guess I just needed the vent.

I’m almost 3 months late on my period. I’ve always been irregular as far as I can remember. I don’t have PCOS. But I do think that I have troubles ovulating because I couldn’t get pregnant for 2 years & had to go on Clomid to be able to have my second born.

My GYN that I have now tells me that they don’t become concerned unless you’ve missed your period for 3 months.

I felt like crap the entire week last week; thinking my period was coming. Cramps, body aches, headaches & all. But no bleeding. I’m not pregnant, I’ve checked.

I just don’t know what to do at this point. I know that 3 months isn’t that long but I don’t have any health issues that should be causing my period to be this late that I know of.

I have an appointment with my GYN on the 12th.. but Should I try to get another opinion from a different doctor’s office??

Hi everyone, i'm trying to learn as much as i can to help my gf with her period. I'd like to know what kind of massage can help for period cramps ? I also heard that you should massage with oils, is there a specific kind to use during period that is better ? Thank you

I’m not on my period yet, but it’s supposed to start sometime this week.

Yesterday, I went to spend time with my boyfriend at his apartment. I was in an alright mood when I got there, but I did feel a little off the whole day. I was happier when I got to spend time with him at the beginning. We decided to cook dinner later and he wanted something I usually make for us. Long story short, he took over cooking but, he lives pretty frugally and is a bit stingy with his seasonings (we’re college students) and the food ended up being bland, he agreed.

I was pretty annoyed because of it, but I knew it wasn’t a big deal in hindsight. I didn’t eat much of the food, and when he asked if I was gonna finish my food I just gave the rest to him. When he asked why I didn’t eat much, I said I just wasn’t that hungry.

A few hours later we were laying together, and I was still a bit upset for some reason. My bf asked if I wanted a cupcake, at first I said yes, but then changed my mind cause I didn’t want to get up lol. But, my bf got me a cupcake anyways and sat at the foot of the bed and gave me a foot massage “because i deserved it.” At that point, I could feel my eyes start to swell, I pouted and started crying as I was peeling the wrapper of the cupcake. My bf was worried at first, asked me what’s wrong etc, but when I said that I didn’t know and started taking bites of my cupcake (still crying), he started to laugh a bit.

So, bland food, a cupcake, and a foot massage ultimately made me bawl my eyes out.

What stories do you have?

My girlfriend’s (16) period was supposed to start on January 29, but it’s now February 2, and she still hasn’t gotten it. We had protected sex (no rips) five days before her expected period. I cleaned up after ejaculating beforehand from a handjob. Some semen might’ve been on the bed idk if she sat on it but it would've been with clothes or just underwear on but idk if semen can go through tight clothes. she was also grinding on me, we both just had underwear on. Her period tracking app keeps shifting the predicted date, but based on the original date, she’s 4 days late. She has never been this late before. We can’t get a pregnancy test yet should we be worried?

I GOT MY PERIOD TODAY (13F) AND I FORGOT I LEFT THE OVEN ON SINCE 3 HOURS AGO AND NOW MY MOM’S MAD AT ME FOR FORGETTING UGHGHGHJWJSKAJAKkk

Every time I get my period I can’t stand the feeling of anything.. down there. I also go to the bathroom to rid of any blood down there every 30 mins or so. I just can’t stand it. Does everyone do this or what?

Day one of my period here, just for fun what do you guys crave on your periods? For me it always seems to be sugar (specifically chocolate)

I’ve been on the mini pill since I was breastfeeding. So I haven’t had my period for a year and a couple of months, but I stopped breastfeeding like 2/3 months ago and I’m still on the mini pill. I recently had my first period after a year and whatever months, and it was a regular 7-day period (mine are always 7 days), and when it ended 5 days later, I started another period. I thought it was ovulation bleeding, but it’s pretty heavy, and it’s been 4 days. Is this normal? I couldn’t get an appointment until the end of March. I never had this happen has anyone experienced this?

please don’t freak out lmfao but i’ve been free-bleeding (in the privacy of my own home, into layers of cloth//towels//period underwear + multiple showers a day bla bla bla) for years now bc of my IUD basically stopping my cycle.

after not needing pads and tampons for so long there was no way i was going back there so i just… let it happen. it’s been about a year or so since i stopped all hormonal birth control and i swear my cycle is not only cramp-free but it only lasts like 3 days?? i always had really long, painful, heavy periods and they’re still heavy (like bleeding through 2 pairs of ultra-absorbent period underwear on day 2) but after day 3 i barely even spot? does anyone else have a similar experience? just curious if there is a correlation at all.

It only went through the washer, not the dryer, but since it was a bleach load, I’m wondering if it’s safe to use? I really don’t want to buy a new one if I don’t need to as they’re expensive.

No one really tells you how periods are after having two kids.

But I had something bad happen to me before I give birth to my second kiddo and now my period crps are the worst it's ever been. It literally feels like intense contractions and I'm craving weird foods. No I'm not pregnant, I think I would know after having two kids. But, in all seriousness I'm seriously craving odd foods that actually might seem normal.

Like having soup and dipping a chicken enchilada or quesadilla of even dipping bread into it.

I don't know why. I'm very confused on why I'm extremely hungry to either not hungry, it makes me feel weird. Does anyone else feel like this?

I feel like a loser thought because my pain doesn't go away with pain meds at times, it just is still there and for as long as I can remember (after having my first kid) my pain was horrible but this..this is different this is double the pain, like I am getting punched over and over again in my stomach or wherever my cramps are located at.

I don't know how to ask a triggering question in this subreddit, but I would like too if I'm allowed (it's about periods yes, but it's something bad that happened before my second kiddo was born and it's probably why my periods are extremely painful and tiring now then before I had kids and before I had my first kiddo. But, if I am remembering correctly, I had pain like this before kids but not extreme like this just subtle but painful and um just pain meds only semi helped and I never knew why? I don't know.)

I'm also more tired during my period now and it's very, very exhausting! I am very anemic and that's also tiring but periods mixed with being anemic that's very exhausting.

I feel defeated.

In November, 2 days before my period started, I had some of the worst cramping I have ever experienced. I am on birth control, and I believe that it was the 3rd month of me being on it. My cramps were so bad I went to urgent care the next day because my pelvis area was so sore. Now I’m not sure if it was pelvic pain or actual cramps, but they were horrifyingly bad. I’ve been skipping my period with birth control for the past 2 months but have expierence breakthrough bleeding that is not going away. I’m supposed to take my first sugar pill tomorrow, but am so scared of the pain coming back.

This might be tmi but whatever, im on my period and i tend to bleed ALOT so today i sit down and start to change everything, all i wanna know is how in the ever living hell did i get blood on the wall behind the toilet paper holder, but not on it or anywhere else only behind it which is like 3ft away, how tf did it get there??? And how was it on my stomach, how did that happen?!

hi, so my obgyn said that i have microcysts (something similar to pcos) and everything was fine (i would miss one period in about 3-4 months) till october. i got my last period on 21st october and today is 02.02.2025 and i still haven't got it.. i went to my obgyn and she gave me cyclo progynova so it can induce it, i took them for 21 day and finished on 30th january and three days later i still haven't got it.. i did not have any changes in my life, i dont think i have major stresses, overall i am a really happy and satisfied person
im really scared since im only 22 years old and i really want one day to become a mother. has anyone been in a similar situation? can you please tell me some advice...?

I have a period tracking app and I always start a few days before it tells me I will. My app told me I was supposed to start yesterday. I don’t understand what’s happening. I’m still a virgin, so I’m not sexually active. If anyone can help I appreciate it.
