Hi Dr Frank, So, I have an app to track my period date. However, sometimes I forget to add the date, and hence, I try and remember it. Here's how I understand that my period is on the way- - I experience lower back pain and it's extremely pronounced just before my period. - My legs pain, and sometimes that's mild swelling as well if I stand for too long. - I have mild to moderate headache. - My mood swings are in full "swing" just before my period. - I feel too hot at times, and tend to sweat more than usual. - My cravings increase, and my appetite goes down. - There's loads of bloating, my stomach puffs up, so does my face, and yes, acidity is something that I usually face just before menstruation. - Skin becomes oily and I feel really tired and drained out a day before my period...anyone can make it out easily.

Hi @docmfrank I've decided to workout for at least 5-6 days a week, even if I am busy :) And to go for a walk after my dinner.

B. 3-7 days in my case :)

Hi there, I hope you are well. Penetrative sex may lead to bleeding, especially if it's rough sex, there isn't enough lubrication, etc. If you frequently bleed after sex, then, it is important to rule out other issues such as endometriosis, PID, Uterine Fibroids, polyps , infections, etc. Hence, kindly check with your gynecologist and seek an opinion over it :) You shall be fine, don't worry. Take care ✨🌸

Hi @docmfrank -Working out everyday or at least 6 times a week is what I dont miss out. - Also, my morning routine of having soaked nuts, and dates is something that I value a lot :)

Hi @docmfrank I hope you are well, Spotting can happen due to various reasons including - - Use of birth control pills - Ovulation - Pregnancy - Implantation bleeding - Uterine fibroids - Endometriosis - PID ( Pelvic inflammation disease) - Sexually transmitted disease - PCOS - Thyroid issues - Certain medications - Trauma caused to the reproductive organs such as that during "rough sex". - Stress - Uterine polyps , and even cancer. I think in her case, it could be ovulation, or something like PCOS, birth control, or Fibroids :) She should see a gynecologist once, and go through a Transvaginal scan to understand the reason behind it. Prevention is better than cure :)
