My cycle has always been spot-on 28 days. Maybe once a year, it'll come a day early/late. It's pretty good like that!
But it this time came over 10 days early (over the weekend) which is REALLY strange and unusual for me. I spotted for 2 days and then bam! I've had lots of large clots too (sorry about the TMI!!)
Last week, before I started spotting, I was getting hot flashes every day. My face and head would get so hot, I actually felt ill.
I'm only 30, so I'm not really sure what's going on. Could my hormones be majorly out of whack?? (I had a baby 12 months ago.)

Hello, I'm 14 years old and I started my period 10 days early? Is this okay? I'm on my 18th day of cycle

Hi Anonymous,
There is nothing to worry about. When a teenager starts getting her period, the length of her menstrual cycle can vary from one month to the next. In time, it should become more regular.

hello! I am 20 years old. My periods are very regular and only sometimes one or two days early or late. But this time my periods have come 10 days before the date. I am worried because this time i didn't notice any pms as i do every month. Is it normal?

Hi Susan, thanks for your speedy reply!
To answer your questions: No, I stopped nursing a few months ago. I do have difficulty concentrating and my memory is pretty bad...but I 've been putting those things down to "baby brain." Maybe it's not!
I do NOT think I was pregnant, we use protection and we're really careful as all our babies were conceived on "go #1." It did cross my mind, but only for a brief moment as I'm pretty sure that;s not the case.
I managed to get an appointment today with my doctor. I might talk to him about getting my hormone levels check.
Thanks again!!
