i’m struggling with exercising, i keep spotting whenever i manage to work out.

doctors & google tell me that “strenuous” exercise can trigger the bleeding. However, i am really not doing any strenuous exercises? .. Im 24yrs old, any advise would be appreciated! x

Hiya, I had this, didn’t actually think much of it until reading this; I wasn’t doing particularly strenuous workouts (like I’d be doing arm exercises and blop blood). I just always wore either period pants or a panty liner, and a longer top just encase of leaks. Also, dark leggings for peace of mind. It might be worthwhile going to speak to a doctor if you’re worried though x
