Fill in the blank here… “my periods were so easy until __________________”
Wedding planning is a common time women will see their periods change👰🏽♀️
Other options might be:
“My freshmen year of college”
“After my first baby was born”
“I started a new job.”
👩🏽🏫🤱🏾👩🏽✈️
Or maybe nothing in your lifestyle changed but you went through something difficult like:
“My parents (or I) got divorced”
“We moved across the country”
“After I had a miscarriage”
💔🛬😢
So why do these events bring on changes in your period?
‼️Often because these changes are stressful, and stress produces a hormone called cortisol, and cortisol affects your ovulatory hormones big time‼️
So when I’m working with a client with difficult periods, one of the first things I ask them is “what was going on in your life in the 3 months before you noticed a change in your periods?” 🤔
And that answer gives us a big clue to how we must begin the healing process.
👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽So I’ll ask you, what was going on in your life when your period changed? I know that’s personal, so feel free to DM me your answer :) As a period and fertility doula, I’d love to talk about it!
