I am FREAKING out, someone please calm me down =s
Okay so lately i have been losing weight, the last time i lost weight, when i was like 14, i lost so much, in a very unhealthy way, i worked out alot and didnt eat much, and i stopped getting my period for 3 months but then it came again and i gained all the weight back and since then ive been getting my normal period every month, nothing unbalanced or anything. Now im 18 years old and ive decided to lose weight again, i started 3 months ago and basically ever since i started my workout conisisted of The Insanity workout and running. every day ill do a video and then go for a run, anyways something just happend that freaked me out, i was working out to insanity, and i went for my run and i came home and i found blood on my underwear, this has never happend before, now i would say that it was my period but i had already gotten my period ,and it was done 3 days ago, and so i thought it was done so i showered and it didnt come for 3 days and now suddenly i got a big red drop on my underwear, im scared i broke my hymen somehow? im not sexually active, and i dont really come near my area that much, the insanity workout does consist of stretching but i dont think the stretch would break my hymen i mean ive been doing insanity for 3 months ( i know its a 2 month program , but i finished it and started again), ive lost so much weight, but not unhealthy weight, i do eat but i eat very clean and i take a vitamin a day to give me the energy and nutrients i need daily, im just worried because never in my life has my period stopped for 3 days then came back again and im worried because i feel like maybe when i was working out i broke my hymen but it didnt even hurt at all, like my area was fine and i didnt feel any pain at all, and its not normal for me to break my hymen if i did so, its just a personal matter, and now i cannot calm myself down, maybe its hormone imbalance? thank you in advance, im sorry if its long. :)

Maybe give some free advice about: What does it mean??
Relax, I don't think you have done anything to actually harm yourself. I am not a doctor, none of are. For a woman to break her Hyman through exercise is totally normal. Many women break their Hyman and never know it. Some do so through bike riding, horseback riding or extreme exercising. Others do so when using tampons.
This does not men you are no longer a virgin. It has been a very long time since virginity was accepted to mean an intact Hymen. This definition of virginity started to be less the accepted definition sometime I would say between WWI & WWII.
Today's definition of virginity or virgin is: Someone who has not experience sexual intercourse.
While I am confident nothing is wrong with you I do feel it is a good idea to let your gynecologist examine you and make sure everything is as it should be. If something else caused the bleeding the doctor will find out while you visit.
I feel you just exercised to hard, something many people do. While you are with the doctor ask about a proper exercise plan and if you really do need to diet. Something else we have a problem with today is body image and we diet when we really do not need to. Your doctor will tell you why it is worse to be 10 pounds under weight than 10 pounds over weight.
My advice is to see your gynecologist and make yourself comfortable that nothing is wrong. Also ask the doctor about what your proper weight should be fro you frame size and have the doctor measure your BME. Then if you do need to diet ask the doctor for a proper diet and exercise program or like the last time the weight will come back.

Relax.
If you've never experienced spotting before, then seeing a doctor isn't a horrible idea, but there is no panic.
If you are worried that you are loosing weight at an upheathy rate, or aren't getting all the nutrients you need, you should definitely speak to a doctor.
There are two basic truths about your body I'm not sure you recognize.
It's really easy for some women to break thier hymens through exercise or sports. For all you know you may have done it years ago. It's a silly thing that some cultures tell women to worry about (usually cultures where women are forbidden from doing things like sports), but it is not actually entirely under her control. Some women are born with very thick, even very painfully thick hymens that are difficult to break, and some women are born with very thin ones and break it while running around the school yard before they even know what it is. Being a virgin is one thing, your hymen is another. Breaking your hymen is a harmless thing that happens to many women before they have ever had sex, it doesn't make you any less of a virgin, and its not worth panicking about.
The second truth is that spotting is relatively normal. Vigorous activity can dislodge menstrual blood, or spotting can just happen spontaneously. If you haven't experienced spotting before, than it might be worth bringing to a doctors attention, but if you aren't in any pain, personally, I wouldn't be worried about it.
I'd be far more concerned about my weight loss, if I were in your shoes, and making sure with a doctor that I was healthy despite the extreme weight loss, than anything else.
