My period only lasted a few minutes...

I have started a healthy lifestyle and have lost 1kg. I am eating healthier, enough calories and I've been doing intense exercise a few times a week.

I was having light cramps and migraines a few days ago which is a sign on my period coming. However, I noticed before bed a brown stain in my pants... which seemed like my period blood.
But theres nothing today.... what the hell is going on. My periods are normally 6 days. Also if I did have it yesterday then that would make my period cycle 23days when its usually 25-27days

Losing weight probably messed with your cycle a bit, give it time and hopefully it will settle again.

Is it possible that it was a false start? You said yourself that it's early so it could just be a blip before your actual period comes.

Highly unlikely that switching to a healthy lifestyle and losing 1kg will have any effect on her period... it only has an effect on your period if your calorie intake is insufficient and you have already lost a significant amount of weight.

OP, you will probably get your period in a few days.

Yeah I hope it does.

My lifestyle is healthy so I don't get why I would skip a period or have a short one

I'd go and see your GP to make sure everything's okay. Are you on any sort of contraceptive, sometimes they can mess up your cycle a bit.

Yeah I've had this. It started a few days later properly. Very strange.

It's just a quirky cycle. Give it a couple of days and see if it starts properly. If you're worried about anything then get yourself to a doctor but it's probably just an odd cycle.

I've had it too. It's the weirdest thing and then it actually kicks in. It's the worst.

Sounds like a bit of spotting, which can sometimes happen at any stage during the cycle. If it happens again, I would see your doctor, but I wouldn't worry too much.
