Period

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
it is not unusual for periods to be irregular in the beginning. This irregularity can last up to 2 years. Additionally, as you've seen, the symptoms if menstruation can still occur monthly, even in the absence of bleeding.
So this would be considered normal and nothing to worry about.
