Is it normal to bleed after 5+ days fasting? (32F)
This isn't the first time I've done one week fasts.
Given my phenotype, I haven't been able to fast longer than 6 days, but I always have vaginal bleeding when I begin refeeding.
However, my "Fire Flower 🔥🩸🌺" started on May 1st and on the 18th at night, (after I broke in the morning a fast I began the previous week), I started bleeding and it's still happening today. Now, I don't know if it's menstrual or caused by something else.
For example, while I'm trying to find something in autophagy, my "personal quest," in addition to the implicit benefits, is to increase my AMH levels, which I've been trying to do for the last 3 years, due to living with only one ovary for over 11 years. With average fasts of at least 5 days, it's the only thing I could say has done the "impossible," but these last two fasts have brought the same bleeding issue.
My diet starts with chicken wing broth for one day, and the next day I eat the wings, all little by little…
If it's not the refeeding, I don't know why this is happening to me.
The "scientist" who's been helping me is a pedant and rude, like if my question are waste of time 😞 He attributed it to menstruation last time, he barely listen to me, because it was also very soon for it to happen, but today I can't believe it is, given how early it is for my period, again.
I don't know if it's normal for it to come early, just as I don't know if menstruation continues during fasts of more than 28 days, while not eating. I haven't been able to test it myself. So, please, I invite anyone who wants to comment, share their personal experience, or have an opinion on the topic of bleeding.
I would love to read it.
And thank you so much for also taking a few minutes to read my post and for wanting to help me. 🙏🏻
