Started my period again after it ending only a week ago.?

Question

My mother says you can tell btwn blood and period blood. My period just ended a week ago. Soon after i started having life stresses and panic attacks and took my ring (nuvaring birthcontrol) out at the hospital.

I felt alot of head pressure and blurry vision so i figured maybe s*x would work to relieve this. Well it definatly helped the head pressure, but during the s*x my period started again. The blood seems thinner then usual, but it doesn't hurt so i figured stress build up, birthcontrol stopping... maybe my body is starting it's period again.

My concern is more about the severe cramping. I havn't had it this bad sense i was a teenager (24 now, was like 16 last time i had it this bad). And i feel much colder (even under a thick down blanket in a duvet cover).

Wondering if i should be concerned, or just let it pass.

Answer 1

This bleeding that you are having could be withdrawal bleeding.  Withdrawal bleeding occurs when a hormone medication is stopped such as like when you took the Nuva Ring out (an example only).

I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
