    The period seems to have been a false alarm. I had a tiny amount of blood on my toilet paper, and then I put in a tampon and pulled it out to see if there was blood on it, which there was a small amount. Have had nothing since, though. At least I still have my appointment to see the obgyn in a few weeks.

    Your blood pressure at 108/78 is just below the low end of normal (using U.K. Standard chart) some people are more sensitive than others to changes in bp. Are you drinking enough fluids? That can make a difference.

    I would think so. I pee constantly from drinking water all of the time, and I put electrolyte powder in my water bottle when I exercise.

    It's not unusual to have some spotting before your period really kicks in.

    The pattern of my menstrual cyles has changed many times over the decades. Over-exercising and under-eating can definitely affect it.
