So my period (normal period; 5 days, heavy flow) ended 6 days ago...<br><br>
AND IT'S BACK, complete with bloating, fatigue and irritability...<br><br>
What the heck is going on?<br><br>
Just wondering...<br><br>
Sorry about all the info.

Hormones probably. I had that going on for a year and finally had to get on the depo shot to fix it. Just my unprofessional opinion!

Yes... I call it "The Hiatus" and it never happened before I had DD. With me it was usually only like a two day break.

This is so weird - a similar thing happens to me every month, and that is how AF has been ever since it returned after having DS!<br><br>
I have a period... and just when it seems to be over, I KNOW conclusively that the very next day, I will get cramps and the whole shebang and will have another "mini" period for a couple more days.<br><br>
It is really strange! Is this a post-child thing? Anyone know why it happens?

 

[KnitterMama]

That's happened to me before ... I had many, many cycles of it before ol' Flo finally settled down again.

How weird, this happened to me for the first time a couple of weeks ago too! I normally have a one week heavy flow and, like clockwork it comes back about 30 days later. Well I got a small to medium flow again exactly one week after my normal one ended this month. I have never had children, or been pregnant and I am sure I wasn't pregnant and having spotting, etc.<br><br>
The only thing I could think of that caused it was eating something weird (I haven't had anything out of the ordinary), or some astronomical thing that must have messed up my natural ebb and flow so to speak.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/dizzy.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Dizzy">:

Its only happened to me when I was on the pill

Yup...This happens to me too. When I'm under extreme stress my period does one of two things...<br><br>
A) Just plain old doesn't come and then I get pg like symptoms till the moment I take a pg test. As soon as I do it comes back...Grrr...<br><br>
B) Comes normally then comes back waaaayyy too soon, like your situation.<br><br>
The body is a funny thing when we're stressed out<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/hug.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="hug">
