Early Period.

[LiverpoolLou]

My period is early by 5 day's. I hope I don't sound really stupid posting this. My periods have always been more or less to the day I expect them, a day either side. I would say I am in good health, and am feeling great. There is nothing different about this cycle, just the same as normal. What I would say though is that I'm 42, could this be anything to do with the "change". I was wondering if I should be worried about this, I haven't been experiencing anything different healthwise, other than I started dieting in May, and have lost 23LBS, and feel like I have so much more energy. Thanks all XX.

Hey, LiverpoolLou,

When i dieted recently the same thing happened to me. I'm 35 now so didn't consider menopausal reasons at all.

Everything went back to normal after 1-2 months and i'm back to being v regular again.

I would say not to give it any real concern as this could well make you anxious which would possibly alter things even more! Just wait until the next few and take it from there.

Of course, it COULD be what you suggest, but you'd be amazed at the number of earlies/lates/mid-cycle bleeds that can happen as one-offs and be completely normal! (I know cos i asked my Doc, btw!)

Thanks purpose, you have put my mind at rest. I have been quite anxious about something lately, could be that. Thanks again.....your advice is much appreciated.

Anxiety of any kind can really mess things up - even when you don't really 'feel' anxious.

When we moved house i was dead excited and had everything planned to perfection... the move went brilliantly but, none-the-less, for about 4-5 months after i was irregular.

Hope things settle for you. Best wishes :0)
