I was suppose to start my period yesterday (saturday) but on friday morning i had bright red blood when i wiped bigger than a 50p piece size then nothing the rest of the day then last night every now and then watery blood when wiped and this morning the same still no period have done a preg test that was negative i was suppose to have a hormone test as soon as i started my period so when i saw the amount of blood on friday i assumed that was my period so had blood test so not only do i think i had the blood test too soon im confused why the blood went from so much and bright red to not really anything still two days later 😦

I get too ; but I have endometriosis and I think that is why my periods can start/stop like you describe.

I would say re test with pregnancy test if no period in a few days; I think if your period is on its way it will be here shortly.

Good luck xoxo

Hi i have endometriosis too and last month after taking serrapaptase my period was day 29 instead of day 26/27 and it started straight away no spotting leading up to it taken serrapaptase again this month and day 29 would have been yesterday for me so the stopping and starting thing has confused me as i assumed because my cycle was longer again this month i would have no spotting stopping and starting leading up to it

Sorry you have endometriosis such a horrible condition to have. It can play havoc with your cycles 😩complete sympathy; none of my cycles are the same and it’s such a head mash when TTC. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’ve got fingers and toes and everything crossed for you for a positive test ❤️xoxo

I’m so so sorry. Truly awful. Blinking endo 🤬It’s horrific how it gets our hopes up so difficult when we want it so much isn’t it 😢

Are you under a good gynae/endo specialist for the endo? Is there someone you can tell your symptoms to? They may want to run more investigations? Mine are.

I’m having such issues with my endo so I completely sympathise ; luckily I’m under the care of an endometriosis specialist 😀xoxo

Im not under a endo specialist the gaenacologist said they could only offer me hormone treatment really which was no good if i was trying for a baby but she did give me a medication to reduce how heavy my period is and help period pain which i have tried for the first time today and they are brill and she put all paper work through for me to go to a fertility clinic 😆 ive found the serrapaptase supplements have really helped the endo pain the rest of the month also with cutting out dairy and caffeine and gluten im also trying to loose weight i see a fertility specialist in a couple of weeks and am in the midfle of blood tests to check my hormones
