Hello all. I'm new to the forum. In fact, I joined just so I could check on information regarding this topic.
My girlfriend has had a very regular menstrual cycle of 26-28 days since I met her 2 1/2 years ago. She had her last period in the beginning of this month, ending around the 11th. On Saturday, the 27th, she started menstruating again. Is this normal? I know it's not normal in the sense that 16 days between periods isn't "normal" but I've read up on irregular periods happening infrequently and mid-cycle bleeding. I'm wondering, and the reason for this post in the conception part of this forum, is whether or not she conceived and is now miscarrying? She's had all the symptoms of miscarriage except fever. Which are the same symptoms of her normal periods: heavy cramping, abdominal pain, general weakness and overall body hurt. Can anyone give any advice aside from going to the doctor? I would like to not alarm her if possible.
