When your period goes rogue: What these changes might really mean
If your period feels unpredictable or out of sync, you’re not alone.
Event Details
Are you noticing changes in your cycle? Missed periods, heavier or lighter bleeding, more painful cramps, or symptoms that just don’t feel like your “normal”? If your period feels unpredictable or out of sync, you’re not alone. Menstrual changes are common, but they can also be important signals from your body.
We’ll explore the various reasons your cycle can shift, including stress, life transitions, hormonal imbalances, and underlying health conditions, while helping you understand how to monitor changes and when to seek support.
Whether you’re simply curious, feeling concerned, or trying to make sense of recent changes, this session will give you clarity, reassurance, and practical next steps.
What you’ll learn:
- What a “normal” menstrual cycle can look like (and how much variation is actually okay)
- Common period changes and what might be behind them
- How hormones, stress, lifestyle, and health conditions affect your cycle
- When period changes may signal something more
- Practical tips for tracking your cycle, managing symptoms, and advocating for your health
