So I’m having a mental breakdown here over this. I feel stupid, but I think it plays into my fear of now being 30 and feeling like everything is over.
Anyway, I still technically have a little more than a week until my period is due to start. However, tonight I noticed some light spotting. It could just be spotting; however, my periods usually start out pretty light so I’m freaking out that it’s a very early period.
I know that weight loss can affect periods, but I don’t feel like I’ve been losing that rapidly—maybe half a lb to a lb a week. Is that really enough to affect it? I suppose my number of calories could be doing it: I try to stick to around 1600, but that seems normal for someone my height and my activity level. I did skip a period once when I was in college and losing weight, but I assumed that had more to do with stress from exams than the weight loss. I don’t know, I’m just upset over this.
I am probably going to see a gynecologist regardless because I have a lot questions/concerns regarding my reproductive future and weight loss affecting it and whatnot. But I’m just in tears over this tonight worried I’m already menopausal and idk it’s upsetting me.
