i've been suffering from anxiety since march when i got sick with a cold that turned to allergies and then inflammation in my ribcage. Had numerous blood work done, xrays and ultrasound and all clear. I stopped taking my birth control i may as i thought perhaps that was adding to my anxiety. i just got my period now after being 10 days to 2 weeks late, and i'm stressing as i don't know that ithis is normal, yesterday i had excessive amount of discharge and today i have blood and some discharge. I'm sure i'm only questioning it becuase of my anxiety but i'm not sure. I have mild cramping. just looking for support and advice.
should add that with my anxiety i have thought i've had every type of cancer and last few days/week i've thought either ovarian, cervical or bowel cancer, so that is adding to my stress.
your period was probably later due to the date that you stopped taking the birth control so I would keep an eye on it and next month it should settle down more.
To stop your birth control could cause anxiety in itself
Hi Ashley stress and anxiety can play havoc with our cycles. Give it a little while for you and it to calm down. Coming off the pill might be a factor too because of change in hormones. I'm sure you are fine. Go out and fo something nice for yourself x
