Period Problems

[Youngan'luvinit]

Hi all, im new around here and no i hate to say im not a nurse but my aunt is and recommended this for me.

Okay well it recently started my period and it was odd, i always cramp the day i start and the day i end. Now when i started it hurt, but more than normal to me, and even on advil then through midol it still hurts, it also looks black...But when i go to the bathroom and wipe its red looking. I checked my pad a little while after that and its still black no red. It also is hurting right now.

Now im not on any birth control or anything like that and im not sexually active. Im a little worried about this i have had brown spotting but black, never black or this painful. Its also very light and givin me problem sleepin, it woke me up thats when i started.

Well it maybe that also the day i started i started to go to a gym and really worked out i did a class, i think it might be because of that it might be, since its not that normal for me to work out so hard. (hard i mean i sweated more and i was more cardio worked) i also seemed a tad bit more emotional. But i just wanted to see if the exercising might be the reason or should i be worried. My breast also seem a bit more tender too. just to add that.

Let me know please thanks for the info

It is great that your aunt recommended this site, but unfortunately, we do not offer medical advice. You will need to contact your physician......

Good luck to you.

It's best you see your health care provider for this. There are a number of different variable factors that can impact your cycle. Good luck!

I echo the others; please see your doctor or a nurse midwife. They will better know how to help you, given more access to your medical history. I hope you find resolution and relief soon!
