I was just wondering if the stress from the divorce caused anyone else to spot. It's not even time for my period I'm on the pill so I know exactly when it's supposed to come, and I've been bleeding light spotting for 7-days now. My dr. says it's stress from all this crap, and my 12lbs I've lost, but my god when does it stop. She told me I could bleed for a month. Why? Did anyone else do this?

Hi there


It could be stress and it could be something else. I would talk to your doctor about it further, express your concerns... it sucks, I know.


Hugs,


good luck

yes, stress can cause your body to be out of wack and cause spotting but it could be somethign else. i remember when i was going thru a stressful time in my life many years ago and my periods were reallllly heavy and i got so scared, and my doctor sent me to a whole bunch of tests, and it turned out to be nothing, and they related it to stress.


I just hope that your doctor checked you out thoroughly!

At least I'm not the only one. It's been 8-days of real light just enough to piss you off. I hope it ends soon, I've been on the pill for 8yrs and I've never been under this much stress, so my Dr. says it's stress and that I could spot all month, I just wish it would stop.

Thanks
