295 days No Menstruation… Until today

Well Mother Nature is a very comical and confusing woman! After going 295 days without a menstrual cycle, I woke up at 5am (the Peri time of the hour) and felt a cramp and went to the bathroom. I wiped and thought I was losing my mind. It was dark and I didn’t have my glasses on. So I wiped again to ensure I wasn’t imagining what I was seeing and sure enough it was blood. I couldn’t believe it!!

All yesterday I was feeling “off” and just chalked it up as Miss Peri doing her thing but the “off” feeling persisted. Today’s surprise really made sense when it came to me feeling “off” but I’m still trying to figure out what the heck!?

Should I go to the ER? Idk. I have a gynecologist appointment coming up on Feb 6th and I can address these concerns there but wasn’t sure if making a visit to the ER is something that I should consider.

Would love to hear from others that have experienced this and what did you do (besides send your significant other to Walgreens and purchase tampons for you)?

Thank you for reading.
