Irregular bleeding: During the Menstrual Period, the body is ridding itself of the lining of the Uterus that it has spent 3 weeks growing. The aching back is due to mild uterine contractions that help expel the uterine lining. All of this is normal. If these symptoms are new to you, it may be a normal variation caused by stress, increased weight gain/loss, lack of sleep and hormonal fluctuations. Take Pain relievers.
