Why does my period stop, then start again? Top 6 causes and natural treatments

Have you ever gotten to the end of your period, delightedly thrown your pads or menstrual cup to the side and thought “it’s all over for the month!”, only to find blood on your underwear a day later?

Periods that stop, then start, then stop again are actually really common. When this happens, it can be very confusing and scary, but most of the time it’s nothing to worry about.

Thank you so much, this is very helpful, I took the quiz, and mine was high estrogen & low progesterone, it’s seems correct cos my period stop about 4-5 days and then I notice spotting now it’s the 2nd day it’s very light and it’s dark brown, hopefully it will stop soon.

Thank you so so much :)

Thank you so much for this! I've had a period on and off for a whole month and 2 weeks! It was literally draining me physically and emotionally lol. Then my period was late for 16 days and it's doing that on and off thing again. I've never had it before and i've had blood tests and urine tests done and everything came back normal as well as i had ultrasound done on my uterus and ovaries incase something else was going on but nope. nothing there.. I'm booked in with a gyno and the appointment is soon so hopefully it's just tissue blocking and that's all it is to it. Wheww!

This was so helpful. I suffer with hyperprolactin and take cabergoline to regulate my periods. However, this video was so enlightening and I felt I was crazy

Mines did this b4 finally went to the doctor he told me I have fibroids, he gave me some pills then things went back to normal now a yr later I lost count of how much cycles have passed, anyways it started but now I'm bleeding but dark brown blood which tell me it's stopping only to find out every time I go to use the bathroom & wipe I see red blood & a few little bit of clots or egg tissue whatever u call it then it will stop again show me the brown blood then do the same thing over again this has been going on 5 days after me period shud have stopped... To b honest I do get worried ... But I'm praying that hopefully it will stop completely I'm fed up of having on pads & feel like I'm wasting them bcuz it's not a lot of blood & I only see it whenever I wipe it's not messing up my panties but I wear my pads bcuz I'm not sure of when it will flow heavy, my belly give me the signs that I'm done & the next second it give me the signs as if I'm releasing an egg... It's so confusing & my anxiety it building up with each second
