Hello! This is kind of a general question but I haven't been able to find any information about this particular after-affect.
A little background- I started the Depo shot for birth control at the age of 15 at which time I ceased having a period. I remained on the shot until my mid-20's and my husband and I decided to stop the shot and try for a baby. I conceived about 2.5 months after the last shot wore off, but that wasn't enough time for my period to return. Of course, no period during pregnancy, then when my daughter was 6 weeks old, I had an IUD implanted (and replaced every 5 years as needed).
I am now 37 years old and had maybe one or two episodes of MAYBE a spot or two over the last 20 or so years (not even enough to waste a pantyliner), but not remotely what one would consider an actual cycle.
Ok, I tried Molly for the first time about 4 years ago and have had a few great rolls (always with a good rest in between) sometimes a night (roughly a gram), sometimes a whole weekend (maybe 1.25 gram split up over 2 days). Also of note that I've been using the same supplier since the beginning who is a trusted source with consistent product.
My recovery times have always been without great incident, I've always been able to bounce back to business as usual.
BUT.
About every other roll, I have a real live honest to God period for a day or two, then it goes away. No cramps, bloating, PMS symptoms, etc, just some annoying bleeding then buh-bye.
This is SUPER confusing because I read that MDMA was created to curb uterine bleeding specifically.
In trying to figure this out, I've read tons of research about how it affects females, but I can't find any reason why it would stimulate my cycle to the point that I'm experiencing actual menorrhea.
Could this just be where stimulants can interfere with a regular cycle and it's not MDMA related at all?
TL;DR: I think occasional Molly use might be causing me to have a short menstrual period when heavy-duty birth control has been able to completely prevent it from happening for 20 years.
All in all, it's not a HUGE deal, I was just curious if anyone else had experienced similar?
Thanks!
