Help please!!! (girls only)?!
Question: Right well this may seem strange but my last period happened on the 22nd December 07 and it was really unusual, very light (I'm normally a VERY heavy bleeder) and it didn't last for very long 3 days probably. It wasn't really like my proper period at all. I haven't done anything different apart from i started masturbating (alone) around 3 weeks before. I also had a cold so that might be something to do with it. But i am worried. What is wrong? Is it just an irregular month or something else? I dont really wanna go to the doctors yet because i aint that worried but I will wait until my next period before i go. I am also getting a little stressed about it so that could delay my next period more, so wil someone PLEASE put my mind at rest???

The stress of a cold or any other physical or mental stress can definitely have an effect on our cycles. Also, our bodies are continually changing. I would not worry about it, lighter periods are great! I am almost always lite for 3 - 4 days but of course, sometimes not. If you are worried that you might be pregnant, then get a pregnancy test and put your mind at ease. I would not necessarily see a doctor just yet.
I personally don't think you've got anything to worry about =) I have a very irregular cycle and the fact that you did come on means that you aren't pregnant or anything is seriously wrong. I wouldn't worry about it, and it will be better next month...it could be that you won't be such a heavy bleeder from now on, which is surely a good thing? P.S - Masturbation shouldn't have anything to do with your cycle at all.
to be honest it could be anything really.. a change in diet can do that... it could just be that you didnt build much lining this month it could be pregnancy if your sexually active.. thats all i can think of.. maybe you SHOULD get it checked by a dr.
yes stress can delay your period, but don't wait to long if you don't get it see your Dr..
not sure your age but i wouldnt worry about it bc you are not pregn. and masturbaiting doesnt effect your cycle. if its mest up for next month or the month after
Periods change over time. I would wait for your next one to see if it is any different. Could be stress or stress on your body from being sick. Just wait and see. It's weird but when I had a period (i'm post hysterectomy now) every year in November I'd be about a week late and then it would be lighter than all the other periods...... but only in November? crazy... I wouldn't worry too much. If this is your first sexual experiences or u just recently started having sex then it could be that too. Orgasms cause hormones to release so it does slightly change your periods... Hope this eases your mind..
you don't have anything to worry about
colds screw up everything
