I am 25, 125 lbs, 5'6''. I have no pre-existing medical conditions. I am currently only on the Nuvaring, and
have been so for about 10 months. Two months ago (my previous cycle), I had a strange menstrual period. The period was very
light (the lightest it has ever been), lasting about 3 days (shortest it has ever been), and really dark in color and thick.
I shrugged it off thinking it was just a weird period. Since then I have had some symptoms pop up that you commonly see in
Pregnancy. A week before my current period started, I was very constipated, urinated more frequently, bloated, had severe
headaches and felt nauseous, especially during the evenings. I usually feel bloated and have headaches before my period, but
have never experienced the other symptoms as well. Now I am in my cycle again, which came about 8 days early (my cycle
normally occurs every 30 days), and again, it is dark and thick, and lighter than before. In fact, my period stopped
yesterday, but came back again today later this morning. I am sexually active, but I have not taken a pregnancy test yet (I
figured if I am on my period now then that means no fetus). Any advice or causes to why this is happening would be much
appreciated!
