Is A Fever During Your Period Normal? Every month, we are faced with a number of symptoms and side effects that result from our menstrual cycles. During this time, our bodies are preparing for pregnancy, and when our body is not pregnant, it results in a period and its accompanying side effects. Some common signs and symptoms associated with our period cycles include fatigue, bloating, mood swings, menstrual cramps, headaches, dizziness, chills, and muscle aches. Sounds like the flu doesn’t it? The reason however that we feel like this is most likely due to the changes in estrogen levels in
Fever and Menstrual Cycle
Hi! So I was on my period and then got a fever and my period ended. My period was supposed to go for another 3 days and I’m concerned I might be pregnant. This was a day and a half ago. Help please! I’m 22 by the way.
Hi Abs, take a pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant. While being sick can affect your period, generally that would happen if you were sick in the middle of your cycle, not the middle of your period.
Hi Im 37! I normally have heavy periods. I have been using tampons for 10 years. 2 months ago I had a fever exactly when I was expecting my period is stop, and had all the bleeding starting over again on the 10th day of my cycle. I went to the gynocologist and she did a vaginal scan for me, checked if i have a PID and was told i have a different infection that seems to be viral and its else where not in the (genital organs). Now I have my period started last night (2 days delay) with moderate cramps and fever (38.5 C). Feeling very weak not able to eat or do anything. Have two questions: if this is not a PID or TSS what is it then? Secondly, if the menstrual pain is always at the left side of my abdomin does it mean anything wrong or is normal?! Thanks!
Hi Rumaisa, fever generally means an infection. As for menstrual pain on the left side, that’s probably the side that you are ovulating from. While you might not have tss I would hold off on tampons if you expect that these might be causing the issue. Have you also been checked for other infections such as STI’s, UTI’s, etc.
No I only took 2 types of antibiotics. And now Im again having the same problem fever for one day and then bleeding for 15 days, and then spotting for an extra 10 days. And i started thinking something serious could be going on. 🙁
Hi Rumaisa, make an appointment with your doctor if you are still bleeding that much.

Hi Anita, I might be a bit confused and unsure as to what you are saying. Were you pregnant and had a miscarriage, did you have a period and those were your symptoms of PMS or period?
I’m 28 now.. My period is regular an uneventful. But for the last two months there is fever with chill, headache, bodyache, severe sweating during the first 3 days of my period.. And in the first day I have severe menstrual cramps.

Hey, I m 24 years old. I had my periods normally and it got over on a week on the usual date. After one week I had high fever with lower back ache and loose motions. I also vomited once. The doctor said it’s viral. Now I again got my periods..right after one week.i want to know why? As my periods got over last week and they were normal.
Hello Rumaysa, you seem to have picked up a virus and due to stress on your body your period returned.
hi im 25, few days before my period i dont feel good at all then at friday i got a fever 37.9C. woke up saturday dizzy and kind of vomiting (but nothing goes out, i feel so bloated) and my period should have start sunday but its already wed. and still there is no sign of my period coming. is there a possibility that im pregnant?
Hi. It’s quite possible that you are pregnant based on the other symptoms such as nausea, it it sounds more like you are sick and that could affect your cycle as well. Stress and illness can cause a change in your cycle.
me being nauseous only last for 2 mins in 2days no more than that.. i was stressed for few days before i got sick… how long should i wait until i can conclude im pregnant and use p.t?
Hi, I would recommend waiting at least a few more days then take a pregnancy test if you don’t see your period.
Hi! I’m 20. I missed my period about 2 or 3 days but yesterday I started to have a headache, severe cramps on my upper or middle stomach and a fever for a day and in the middle of the night I have abit of diarrhoea I guess i ate too much spice these few days. Also, I’m not sure if this is due to stress as I was rushing to do my school assignment. However, now I have mild cramps that comes and goes and I haven’t experience period cramps in a long time. So I’m not sure if this is pregnant symptoms or just delay.
Hi Sarah, some do report low grade fevers as a sign of early pregnancy. Although stress can play a part in your period as well. I would give it a few days and then take a test if you don’t get your period.
Hello, im 29! Im also having fever chills and body weakness during my period for 4 months. I am so worried that it will cause infertility. I dont know what to do..
Hi Calokakay, it could be related to endometriosis or Pelvic inflammatory disease. It could also be from use of tampons for too long, or your body is sensitive to them (Toxic shock syndrome) and you should ensure you change them frequently. Either way however I would recommend making an appointment with your doctor and getting checked out.
Hi, I’m 27, this is my first time to have a fever
During my menstrual flow. It is the 4th day of my period yet, I experienced a little fever about 38-38.5 •C, together with the fever I’m experiencing diarrhea, fatigue, headache and feeling of vomiting. This is the 1st time that I have this during my period. Also, recently I experienced stress in the office due to work overload and conflict with other officemate. My emotions are also high and I feel distracted with little things in the office.. Now, is the fever can be due to draining work and stress?

Hi today was my menstrual date but it is not here but I’m experiencing lower back ache, leg pain and fever of 37.940 c. Am I pregnant?
Hello Alisha, if you had unprotected sex then there is a chance that you might be pregnant.
Hello am 21, I have missed my periods for three months now. and I don’t think its pregnancy because I have never had sex. I feel cramps or stomach ache BT I don’t see any spot. I get flu and cough during that pain. what could be the cause?
Hi there Vanzion, I am advising you to see your doctor for a physical assessment and blood tests. All the best.
hello I’m 17 and I didn’t get my period for almost a month now and I had a fever from a virus of 100 on the day I was supposed to start my period but still haven’t gotten it. Also took about 4-5 pregnancy test and they all came out completely negative.
Hi Gia, it’s possible that being sick has caused your period to be delayed. Our cycles can be very sensitive to illness. 30 days is a decent timeframe for a cycle so if it’s there after you finally get yourself healthy then I would either consider another pregnancy test or just give it time. Good luck.
Hi .. im 26 .. mother of two.. and imfor the last 3months, i always had a fever(feeling like so chill) and some joints pain.. but the next day it will go and my menstruation will come.. is there any serious problem? Thanks
Hello there Grace, please read more about this here: https://womanjunction.com/fever-and-menstrual-cycle/
Hello doctor. I’ve had delayed periods by 4 days and experienced some dark spots for a day and I’ve been down with a fluctuating fever ever since. Fever is not going down and ranges from 99 to 101. It is true that I am taking stress but should I get a pregnancy test done? Is it necessary?
Hello Vibha, I would strongly advise that you see your doctor regarding this fever and spotting.
Hi, I’m 13 and I just got off my cycle. I have a really heavy flow so I use super absorbent tampons more than anything else and I have a low grade fever, nausea, diarrhea, sore throat, vaginal burning, runny nose, bad cough, etc. I went to the doctor and was tested for strep and the flu both came back negative. I have had problems with my uterus and such before ( I’ve had to be tested for polycystic ovaries), could I have TSS?
Hello Anonymous, having toxic shock syndrome is a small possibility if your tampon was left in for an extended period. However I agree that you also need further testing to determine what is happening with you.
Hi! I’m 12. I have a missed or late period. It’s been 42 days after my last period. But I have got fever, cold, cough and tonsil before the expected day to get my period. But it has gone quickly before the expected day to get my period. But my period hasn’t come yet. I didn’t get my period the whole December. I have cramps one day but I don’t think if it is cramps or a sign for me to poop. My parent and my aunt said that if I have cramps then it’s a sign that my period is coming. What is happening? What am I going to do? I have never been this late.
Hello Princess, are you sexually active? If not then you are not pregnant and your period is just a bit delayed.
