Suddenly longer period?

I started IF around two and a half weeks ago. So usually my period lasts four days…now since starting with if (16:8) it’s day 8 and I am still bleeding. Since yesterday it became less, so I did not bleed all day, but in between there is always some blood coming out. It feels like I am stuck in a never ending cycle. Should I be concerned?

Answer

I doubt that has anything to do with IF. Call your OBGYN and discuss this with them—maybe it’s just a rogue longer period (if you’re getting into perimenopause, that definitely can happen), but your doc is the best person to make that call.
