Irregular?

I've always had pretty regular cycles, even going on and off BCP previously only messed me up slightly. However this month I was 1 1/2 weeks early and it was the worst AF I've had in a long time, cramps like I wanted to curl up in the fetal position, headaches, really moody and some heavier than usual bleeding. I was supposed to get an IUD put in so I missed the window because I was so early... then a week later I was going to bed and I had a pretty sharp pain in my right lower abdomen, the next morning I started bleeding again lightly for 2 days. Nothing too major but I've never been irregular before so its weird for me. Plus my face has been breaking out like mad ( I've never had acne like this before ) and my abdomen is a little swollen. Just didn't know if anyone else had experienced this after being "normal" for a while. I've been off BCP since March so my body has pretty much normalized from that.

Hi there,

I can't explain why your period was early. The sharp pain you felt a week later could very well have been you ovulating, and the bleeding ovulatory bleeding. If things don't settle down after your next period, I suggest you see your doctor.
