I've got a period concern.I missed my period for almost 2months.I got it couple days ago its really heavy and it's like all mucus.Is this normal or something to worry about?I've never had one that looked like mucus but,the flow being heavy is normal for me.Just want to make sure it's nothing that should get medical attention soon.Thanks

Hi sable90mer, welcome!

We can sometimes skip a period when cycling naturally or even when on hormonal contraceptives. If you are cycling naturally stress, illness, and diet can all delay ovulation and your period. And as we age our cycles can change, sometimes considerably. I think you are probably ok but if you haven't had your annual pelvic recently you might want to let your doctor know what's going on. See if during your next few periods you have a reoccurrence. If you do then your doctor can run some tests to see what’s happening. Let us know how you're doing.

Good luck,

      Jill
