Hi, I haven´t been sexually active for ages. I am 32 years old and active three months ago. The first month my period was normal. My boyfriend and I practice safe sex with condom protection. The second month my period was like spotting for two weeks and very heavy, that lasted for like 5 or 6 days and I called that my period. Can anyone explain to me what is going on?

Welcome to the board leylameza.


You don't mention if you have taken a pregnancy test but this would be my first recommendation, just to be sure.

Hi, thanks for your reply. No, I have not taken a pregnancy test. My period is about to come, so I guess I will wait and see what happens. After that I guess I wil l have to make a trip to the Ob/Gyn ....

Don't know if this will help you or not, but this same thing happened to one of my friends every time she would go awhile between relationships and having sex. She asked her Dr. about it, and he explained that sometimes when you refrain from having sex for awhile, and then you do, it can be a temporary shock to your body, like your female stuff freaks out, like "what's this? Oh, it's sex again". Sounds really odd, but have you ever noticed that having sex can trigger periods? Just like stress and exercising can affect them, so can sex. I would bet that within a couple of cycles your body will regulate itself again, but I would still take a pregnancy test to be sure. Hope this helps, just an idea:)

Yup, I will agree with you and I hope this is correct. My boyfriend told me the same thing. I might be able to schedule an appointment with the Ob/Gyn next month or so.


Thank you so much for your help!!
