First of all, I’d ask for you all to go easy on me. I’m not comfortable with Googling (not that I’ve found useful information!) and I do intend to speak to a doctor…I just want to know if anyone had the same experience I did.
About six months ago, my period was late by 7 days and in that duration I took two home pregnancy tests that were negative. After day 7 I got what I thought was my period but instead it was spotting/brownish discharge that had the same duration as a normal period of 6-7 days. I went to my doctor and we did a blood test for pregnancy but it was negative. He said to wait and see if it continued next month we could look into it further.
I went to a gyno as well and they did blood tests, pap smear, ultrasound etc and the results were normal.
Exactly a month later I got a normal period and it’s been normal ever since until now
I was supposed to get it last wednesday but I didnt. On Sunday I started spotting and since then I have been having spotting/brown discharge. I’m not pregnant.
I did ask my doctor but he dismissed it as part of my weight problem. Now, the thing is that I have been overweight all my life and it has never affected my period. My weight has been steady and consistent for years and I have never taken birht control pills or any other form of birth control/medicine…so I don’t know how it can suddenly be affected but my Dr said “there’s a first time for everything.”
Can extra weight just suddenly affect periods or should I be more insistent with my doctor? and FYI I already know I should lose weight…and I’m working on it…but any advice aside from that I would really appreciate.
