Period problems. is this normal orrrr nah?

So a little backstory. I havent had my period for about 7 months. Yes I went to see a doctor and she basically said it was because I was fat. Long story short I started to try and change my diet and excercise. It was a long vicious cycle of trying and failing. Trying and failing. Failing as in I end up over eating or not excercising.

Anyhoo I found something that worked for me and was going strong for 2 weeks and noticed period symptoms! Sore nipples cramps all signs of a period comming. I was pretty excited because that means my new change was working right? (I dont own a scale so its not like I could weigh myself to see if it was working.)

As the days went on cramps got worse and yet again I slacked and binged and didnt excercise promising myself I do it right after Im down bleeding. A week passed of symptoms and then they just dissappeared. No period no nothing.

Here I am 2 weeks later back on to the whole eating better thing and after a little 1 on 1 session with myself couldnt help but notice fhe familar smell of period blood. Thought I was just smelling things or just needed a shower (gross and probably tmi, I know, but whatever.) After a thorough inspection it was like brown lumpy muck. Well not muck but Like old blood thats been trapped in there and finally decided to fall out.

So like is this normal or am I dying? Is this the signal of my period finally comming or what? Id just go to a doctor but I currently have no insurance and the cost of a doctors visit is not in my budget.

  • I’d say see a doctor cause Idk your situation but since you can’t afford it if I were you I’d just try my hardest to keep on a good steady track to get back to being healthier and see how things are. The whole old blood type incident I’d understand if it was the end of the period but a few weeks later is weird. Usually at the end of period I’d personally see that cause it’s like flushing out what’s left of blood. Like it’d be kinda in discharge type shit where it’s going to be cleaning it out.

    But you haven’t had one in 7 months so maybe it’ll be weird at first? So unless you’re trying to do some fingering with sharp nails I’d probably assume you’re spotting or something. It doesn’t surprise me if it’s going to act irregular for a while.

    Just keep up with exercise and a healthy diet and I’m sure things will get better.

    Seeing how a period is simply the expulsion of thin layer of womb tissue. Having a lack of period then having a sudden one you are just seeing several months of lack of cleaning.

    I'm a Male and such using basic logic so take it as what it is. If the next one is fine then it is. If not than call the doctor.

    • Discharge is vaginal cleaning.

    Isn't being a girl just the worst!? Every month when mine comes (it's crazy) I'm like "they expect me to raise babies while I deal with this bs? Never."

    I have a thing called "polycystic ovarian syndrome" (pcos) and you might as well call my periods nonexistent too.. and I pretty much have 1 "proper" period day over 3 days.. and I'm a big girl.. I've been told being a bigger girl can affect your periods so your on the right track in losing weight and eating healthy

    The brown discharge sounds like it's trying to start again. My first period was like that. Give it some time.

    • Yes and no. All varies from person to person. Some people can be obesed as heck and still get their periods some can't. Being over weight can cause hormonal imbalances that can cause your period to stop. Same thing for being underweight as well. I just happen to be one of those people who loses it when being fat apparently. Mind boggling how 400+ people still get their periods but me at 270 can't get mine lol.

      Being fat causes so many problems :'( but meh, it is my own dang fault after all.

    If you miss more than 3 periods in a row you should tell your doctor. Have you seen your doctor about any of this?

        She edited it later to add in that she cant afford the doctor.

        Thanks for the excellent advice though
