Why Am I Having Early, Dark Periods?

Patient's Query

Hi 16 days ago I had dark blood from my period and it lasted around 4/5 days so normal period length but it was all quite dark blood only a small amount of fresh blood. I also had no cramps and couldn’t feel my period starting which normally I can feel it’s going to start and it was 5 days early. Yesterday I had slightly dark discharge and some cramps and now I have my period actual blood and cramps but only 16 days after my last “period”

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Your menstrual cycle goes through some changes. Dark blood can appear when your period begins. This is normal and doesn't indicate a problem. The cramps result from hormones or other causes. Monitor your periods and symptoms every month. Talk to a gynecologist if unusual bleeding or cramps continue.

It's too early to know before your period. Around 6 days prior, you may experience light spotting, tender breasts, or mood changes. These could indicate early pregnancy. The best way to confirm is missing your period, then taking a home test.

Female | 22

It's understandable to feel concerned about irregular cycles and negative pregnancy tests. Missing periods can be caused by various factors, including stress, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle changes. The increased moisture may be unrelated but worth noting. To better understand your situation, consider tracking your symptoms and any changes in your routine. I encourage you to schedule an appointment with a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation.

Female | 21

It’s normal to experience bleeding after taking the abortion pill, as this indicates the body is expelling the pregnancy. Engaging in sexual activity during this time may lead to discomfort or increase bleeding. It’s generally advised to wait until your body has fully recovered before considering contraceptive methods like the i-pill. For tailored advice and to ensure safe practices, I recommend consulting a gynecologist. They can provide you with personalized guidance on your situation and help address any concerns you may have.
