I use a period cup each month and whenever its time to pour it out and clean it I always look at the consistency just to know Im good and healthy, etc.
My period blood used to be mostly thick and gooey and ranging from bright red to a darker red with small blood clots on the heavier days.
The last few months (3 or 4) they are still bright red but I have noticed that the bright red gooey blood tends to sink to the bottom of the cup and there is a light brownish watery fluid that layers on top. Im also filling up the cup much faster than I used to/leaking sometimes.
Whats going on? The few things Im seeing on the internet are all saying pregnancy but the chances of pregnancy are slim to none. We always use condoms and he normally doesnt finish inside my vagina/the condom anyway. We've never had one break either.
I do suspect a hormonal imbalance though. I have sub-clinical hypothyroidism (TSH is slightly elevated at 6.14, T4 levels are within normal range). Doctor refuses to test estrogen levels because they believe nothing indicates an issue there; Which to me makes no fucking sense since Ive had hair thinning and was lethargic as fuck for a couple of months until I started taking a couple of herbal supplements I researched and a vitamin supplement to promote thyroid health.... mood and energy have improved now but period is still...odd.
Is this a cause for concern? Has anyone else had this? I really seriously doubt Im pregnant lol
