Weird period...could it be a chemical

August 22, 2008

My period came yesterday on CD27 which is early for me. I wasnt expecting it until Sunday at the earliest. Since coming off of BC a year ago AF has only last 2 days and is really light. It started out like that yesterday but this morning I am passing clots and having horrible cramps, the cramps are to the point of making me nauseous and I have a God awful headache.

My question is can a chemical make you bleed before AF is due? I never took an HPT and wasn't tracking anything this month but this is the heaviest I have seen my period since before BCPs. Or could they just be finally getting back to normal?

I don't know how it is for everyone else, but I know when I hada wicked -double-you-over cramps, and passed lots of clots, it was a very early miscarriage. AF came a day before she was supposed to, but I had BFP's. I'd say take an HPT and see what it says. Mylevels had gone up enough to test +, and it took a few weeks for them to go back down after the bleeding stopped.

Laura so you don't know if you ovulated right? Then it could be your body getting back on track after BCPs. I have a lot of clots with my AF every month. Keep us posted on how it goes.

Carrie, no I dont know if I ovulated. I usually do though. My cycles usually last about 30-34 days and since coming off of BCPs my periods have been very light and only last 2 days. Yesterday started out like that and this morning was nothing and then all of a sudden I started passing pretty big clots with a lot of bleeding and have been for about 3 hours now. My last AF was July 26 so given my long cycles I wasn't expecting it until at least Sunday and that would be at the earliest. I gues I'll just watch it and see what it does. I'm poppong midol like candy right now.

No I think this is your period. A heavy period is a sign that you had a lot of estrogen secreted during your cycle which is a good thing.
