bleeding

[simmiz]

I have been lifting heavy for about 2 weeks now, for past one week I am getting some bleeding maily spots like 5-6th day in your period. I am wondering if the two are correlated. However, only other thing I can relate to is stress. Other than lifting I have been quite stressed and not taking enough rest too.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!

I have noticed that my period is affected if I lift heavy - instead of regular bleeding, I get several days of fairly heavy spotting, sounds similar to what you're getting.

Do you think the problem is serious enough that I should see a doc?

It's always worth getting unusual bleeding checked out... had my smear test today. Normally I put them off for ages, but had this one on time because of the unusual bleeding I've been having - made sure my concerns were recorded too. It may just be down to the fact that I'm lifting heavier, have changed my diet, etc., etc. But, no harm in making sure nothing is wrong.
