Im 11 weeks pregnant and Im still having a period, has this happened to anyone else!!!!!??????

Q: Ok, I found out at the beginning of June that I was pregnant. I had little reason to believe that I was pregnant other than an appetite change,Breast changes including blue veins beginning to appear on my breast and collar bone area, sensitive and tingling nipples, and areolaChanging including enlargement and white bumps starting to form, but those things didn’t really convince me that I was pregnant, I didn’t feel pregnant, I had been pregnant before and the morning sickness, frequent urination and missed periods were all sureSigns that I was indeed pregnant, but this time I continued to have periods and other than the appetite change and changesTo my breast, I didn’t have any definite signs of pregnancy, but my husband wanted me toTake a hpt anyway, so I did and it came back negative. I took several more and most came back negative and one had a faint positive sign. After all the Negative results, I left the pregnancy idea alone and by that time I had gotten my next period. Several weeks laterI began to have tension headaches, daily and I also began to feel twinges in my stomach, which I later learned wereRound ligaments pains. These things concerned me so I consulted my family doctor. I explained to her all the changes That were going on with my body and also the inconsistencies in my periods (I didn’t explain that earlier, but I willAt the end of my post) and she asked was I pregnant. I informed her that my husband and I had been ttc, and I had Thought that I had fallen pregnant at the end of april, and I had taken several test which all came back negative. My doctor decided to give me another urine pregnancy test which came back negative and she also gave meA blood pregnancy test, this of course came back positive. After the positive result, an ultrasound was doneTo confirm and I was placed on prenatal vitamins, etc. the thing is, I still have some bleeding every month. My family doctor and ob/gyn are all aware of this, I have been checked and my baby is fine and Im havingNo complications other than the bleeding,. Now that I know that Im pregnant its kind of scary to stillBe having a period. With my first pregnancy, I didn’t have a period and all the pregnancy symptoms that you couldEver think of but with this pregnancy, Im still having a period and no symptoms other than an occasion headache andA lot of changes in my breast. Has this happened to anyone else???, I have read some posts were women have had theirPeriods while pregnant, but I wanted to ask the same question but in my own way. I also see a lot of people Who say that a woman can’t be pregnant and still have periods but believe it because I am a living witnessThat it does happen. Also, when I say period, I do mean that I have been having periods, not SPOTTINGNot slight bleeding……I know what spotting is and I know what a normal period is also. With my periods,They have been normal for the past three periods. When I got pregnant in april, the bleeding wasn’t normalthough, it was light and it was spotting and it only lasted for four days. The normal time for me is 6 days.The period that I had in may was heavier than the bleeding that I had in april and there were even clotsIn the first two days of my period, on the third day though, it slowed down drastically and on theFour day, the blood turned from red to dark brown and stopped. This has also occurred for june andJuly’s periods. – july’s period has just gone off july9-12. has this happened to anyone else.?? I have a Friend who didn’t know that she was pregnant until she was 5 months, but im not sure whether herPeriods were normal or not, but I want to know the personal experiences of others and whetherYour periods were still normal.

did i just have a miscarriage?

Q: I just found out I am pregnant 6 days ago after missing my period and taking several home pregnancy tests that all came out positive. I went to the doctor’s 4 days ago, where i took a urine test. the positive line showed up very faint, so i was also ordered a blood test. The nurse called me back 3 days ago to tell me that the blood test was positive. She concluded that I am six weeks pregnant. Last weekend (when i found out i was pregnant) i had some brown and light pink spotting, which i know can be normal. This morning i woke up with cramps (ive been cramping on and off for over a week now) and they got SEVERELY worse. I started to bleed bright red, and my cramps got so intense that i couldn’t even move. I called the doctor’s and was told that a midwife would call me back. In the mean time, i took two pregnancy tests that i had on hand (two different kinds) and they both came back negative. They are the same tests i used that tested positive a few days ago. The midwife called me back and told me to come in for a blood test, but since my boyfriend is out of town for the day I could not go because i couldn’t drive myself, and no other family members live nearby. The cramps were the most horrible i have ever had. I took Tylenol, which didn’t even touch the pain. The intense cramps w/bleeding lasted about 2-3 hours, although i wasnt extremely HEAVILY bleeding, it was enough to know something is not right. When i went to the bathroom more blood would come out, and with a few small black clots that were smaller than a pea. The cramps have almost completely gone away, still mild at times. I am going to go to the doctor’s tomorrow to have a blood test done. Has this ever happened to you, or anyone you know, or have you gone through a similar experience and what was the outcome? I would appreciate any advice.Thank you so much for your help.UPDATE: I just did another HTP this morning (still bleeding) and it came out positive. I’m going to the doctor’s shortly to get bloodwork done. Thank you everyone for your help and support.

A: ah dear help u..yep have been in the same situation… and had two different outcomes… you could be having a miss, but also you could still be ok… (paradox i know)i have had a miss, whilst carrying twins, and lost one twin in second trimester and carried the other to full term, albeit she was small but healthy…. then i have bled from week 12 right through til about week 30 on my last pregnancy…. and she was born healthy… you probably would need bloods and a scan to confirm…. i hope it works out for you, i know you probably want a more definite answer, but it really is 50/50 until you get those tests done to be more conclusive… good luck wee woman – have my fingers crossed for u

Bleeding-Bicornuate Uterus-Do you think I’ll miscarry or will it work out?

Q: I am currently deployed to Iraq with my husband and we are set to return to the States in about a week. I missed my period the beginning of this month and new I was pregnant. I didn’t tell anyone but him at first. I had the Tubercloses test and it was positive, so I had to get a chest X-Ray, in which I told them that I thought I might be pregnant, they tested me twice, and my pregnancy was confirmed. The next day I went back to the clinic and informed them and they told my First Sergeant. Everything was fine since we were set to return home and I was given a pregnancy profile. I was really nervous/stressed at this point. My chest right above my ribs got a sharp pain for a few seconds. I then was walking back to my office and I felt two gushes (like when you have your period). Sure enough, I checked and it was a good amount of blood. I immediately went back to the clinic, told them, and they took me to the hospital.There they did blood work, did a pelvic exam (speculum and all), and an ultrasound first on my belly and then transvaginal.After several minutes into the transvaginal ultrasound, the doctor said that I had a Bicornuate uterus, in that it was shaped like a heart. He also showed me the baby which was in the left part of the heart. He said I looked to be 6 weeks and 1 day along and we could see the baby’s heart beating. He also showed me swirly looking stuff in the ultrasound of my uterus and said that was were I was hemoragging.They put me on bed rest for three days and am trying to fly me out asap. They said that I had a good chance of miscarrying because of the shape of my uterus, because I was early in the pregnancy, and the bleeding. I’ve not cramped and I had light bleeding/spotting yesterday (the day I went to the hospital). Today, I have about two small spots of brown/dark brown blood in my panty liner and it is dark brown a bit when I wipe. I have morning sickness, but no real pain in my abdomen more than normal (I’ll feel really sick to my stomach sometimes). The doctors at the hospital seemed rather grim, even after they saw the heart beat. The doctor at the clinic said that I could have started bleeding because of the stress, and I was really stressed/crying.Do you think that the pregnancy can go well given this? Advice? Hope? Thanks and sorry it is a little long.

A: there is wowen who have a bicornuate uterus who have had health babys at the end,but everyone is different.the fact that you have had no clots is a good sign,as that is the main thing to watch for.a little bit of cramping is normal but if it ever gets to the point where you cant stand it and it makes you huff when you breath,then that is not a good sign.remember you are in a stressfull situation most of the time,so yes the stress could be making you bleed.im sorry i couldnt be more help,im keeping my fingers crossed for you.good luck xx
