is cramping without period a sign of pregnancy?

Q: I’ve been getting so many pregnancy symptoms these past couple of weeks but when I went to the doctor, the test came back negative and he said it was most likely this stomach flu that’s going around. But..my mom is concerned that I could still be pregnant and that the tests aren’t always right.This is a scary idea as I’m only 18 years old…and I know that sometimes, a girl can be so convinced that she’s pregnant that psychologically, she can make herself have pregnancy symptoms without being pregnant.Now..my period ended about a week ago but I’ve had pregnancy symptoms for a couple of weeks now and for the past few days I’ve been starting to get cramps and it feels just like my period’s about to arrive again, but there’s no blood, just a little discharge once in a while, but generally nothing. I usually get one period a month. So I’m wondering, since I am getting cramps down in my lower stomach area, could that be a sign of early pregnancy?How did you ladies feel when you first found out you were pregnant? Was there cramping?Thanks!The last time I had sex was a couple of days ago and we’ve always used condoms. Still, I know that even with a condom, there’s still a small chance that something could’ve gone wrong.The doctor did a urine test. I think I will wait a week and take a home pregnancy test. If it is negative, I’ll stop worrying.

A: really depends on what type of test the doctor did on you. alot of doctors do only the urine test, and will only take blood if the urine test is positive so if you havent had a blood test, go back to the doctors and demand one. when i thought i was pregnant, i took 2 home pregnancy tests- both negative, and my doctor did a urine test which was also negative, my fiance who was so sure demanded he take my blood, and turns out i was 6 weeks pregnant.

Brown spotting after 1 x twin loss early?

Q: I’m 36 and 8 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child (I’ve had one missed mc in the past).At 6 weeks I had a huge bleed and was rushed to hospital. When I think back I didn’t pass ‘that’ much blood (I know mc there is usually a lot more) I only used 3 pads but it was gushing. I went to the loo while in hospital and passed a few massive clots. I got quite a shock when I went to flush the loo when it had finished flushing there was something huge and black and was too big to go down! I was still sitting at the bottom of the bowl (sorry if tmi). I looked as closely as I could as I figured it was the baby but was suprised it was so big and black (about the size of a small apple but I never felt it pass out). I told my dr when I got back and she also figured I must have mc so I went home. I went for a confirmation scan the next day but they found a sac fine, although quite low down. The scanner girl said it might be on it’s way out etc.. but they took more bloods and told me to come back in a week to check again. A week later I went back and for another scan and they found a heartbeat! I was totally amazed. My OBGYN also rang me very excited and told me my bloods were trippling so he said all was probably well. He figured I either a) lost a twin or b) had some sort of scaring (my scan did reveal my 2 x c-section scars and some d&c scaring) that was just bleeding a little or c) he thought I might have had a little cyst in my cervix.I’m now 8 weeks and every few days I get some brown when I wipe. Hardly anything on my pad it’s only when I wipe. It’s always shades of brown sometimes little sometimes very dark. I know this is old blood but sometimes I have a tiny bit of cramping that goes with it as well.I don’t have another scan till 13th Jan when I have an nt scan for downs (because of my age) when I figure I’ll get another chance to see if the baby is alive.At my last scan at 6 weeks it was growing fine and heartbeat was good. My obgyn does not seem the slightest bit worried I’m still staining brown and said it’s old blood so not to worry till it’s red.My question is: has anybody ever lost a twin early and still stained brown for a while afterwards? if so, how long? it’s been 2 weeks now and I’m still getting the odd bit of brown so am a bit worried esp as getting light cramping.I had a missed mc before where I only had a tiny bleed but didn’t find out the baby had died till 10 weeks so am really worried at this scan at 13 weeks if the baby has died some time back hence the brown spotting – see my body doesn’t seem to reliase the pregnancy.I’ve concidered going back to get another scan etc.. but with it being xmas, it’s so busy and hard to find the time now and i feel like i’m wasting their time and should just sit tight to 13 weeks when i have my booked scan.any advice or similar experiences would be very very helpful.thanks

A: please dont critisize because of the age i was but when i was 15 I had a miscarriage. I was really excited about being pregnant and then i started bleeding at first like a normal period then it just started pouring. I went to the hospital and they did a pregnancy test and because it came up positive they told me i was still pregnant and that i had probably miscarried a twin, again i got my hopes up thinking there was still some hope. they sent me for a scan and it turned out i had miscarried just one baby. When i went to the toilet (we were in a caravan outside my partners mums at the time and it was one of those toilets where you go for a wee etc then pull the plastic bit out to let it drop.) Anyway, I saw my baby in the toilet, lil arms and its eyes it was heart breaking for me (this was before my scan). Anyway I fell pregnant again 2 months later (at 16 yrs) and the pregnancy was fine but i was so scared everytime i had a bit of brown blood stuff i was worried she wouldnt be okay, turned out it was just implantation bleeding :)To me it either sounds like old blood or possibly a bit of implantation bleeding. The odds are good if the baby is still hanging in there and there was a heart beat etc. Congratulaions and good luck!!!!

Period Questions *girls/doctors/people who know what they’re talking about please read and help me*?

Q: I’m 17 and a half and have been having my period since I was about 12-13. I’ve never took any type of birth control. I haven’t had sex before or even been naked with a guy. I only “masturbate” by humping my hand so pregnancy = an obvious no. My cycles have been known to be irregular. I think I get that from my mom because she said even at her age they never come at the same time. Mine don’t either. One month it comes at the beginning, another it could be the middle or end, etc…I don’t usually get any pain with mine other than my boobs hurting a little/being sensitive. That’s my warning sign I’m about to get my period. Usually about the day before I start and first day of my period I’ll have some stomach pain/cramping but it’s not horrible. I usually don’t even need to take a pill for it, I just lay down or something and it goes away on it’s own within a few hours.Now for some other info – I sort of had a little bit of a cold earlier in the month (a bit of a slight cough, stuffy nose). I think I might be a little stressed too, but I’m not 100% sure. What exactly are some signs that your stressed? It’s pretty clear I’m going to skip this month since it’s the 28th and there’s only 2 days left in the month. So could my little bit of a cold, the possible stress/worry, me not sleeping too good usually, etc… all be a reason for why I’ve skipped my period this month? I talked to my mom and she named off a whole list of stuff that can cause your period to be late or not come at all *some things she named included stress, worry, illness, sudden change of weight, and pregnancy*. She ruled out pregnancy though since I’m currently single and haven’t been nude with a guy haha. So how can I know if I’m stressed enough for it to effect my period? If I am that stressed, how can I help fix it? This is kind of like a chart of my periods for 2009 so far – I had one January, February, March and April. I skipped in May. Then I started June 5 and it ended June 12 *it usually does last about 6-7 days*. The I had mine July 9 – July 16. And then August 18 – August 25. So far I haven’t got mine for September.Thanks very much for any/all help and advice.

A: WOW this is long! hahathe answer to yuor question is that it is normal.
