What could this be…..?

Q: I had this feeling that I was Pregnant, till I started my period on the 15 of this month. I know it’s very rare to have a period during Pregnancy, and when you do it’s not even considered period, It’s called Vaginal Bleeding, and it varies from light to heavy. I just got off my period yesterday, I still think I might be Pregnant, but I’m not really sure. I’m asking yall to diagnose me, I just want some opinions, and/or stories till I can get me a Pregnancy test.Symptoms:Tender/veiny breastsNauseaBreakout on forehead Emotional Maybe this could relate to my period, but I know my body, and I highly doubt it. Any help you can give,THANK YOU~~BABYDUST~I’m ..not.. asking yall to diagnose meMy period was brownish, It did have red in it, and it was moderate.Well before this period, I did have Cramps, and I usually NEVER have cramps.

A: Yes, some women can have vaginal bleeding and still be pregnant. That’s what confuses people. Now, if you still had excruciating cramps I’d say you probably are not pregnant. Most women who are still pregnant can have the same amount of bleeding like a period, but minus the horrible cramps. Usually this is dealt to break through bleeding or subchorionic bleeding.So, you may be! =)

I have a 3 month old, I’m breastfeeding but may be pregnant?

Q: No this is not a Am I pregnant question. ha haMy daughter was planned and is 3 months now.I was curious if a test would still be positive, because I am breastfeeding and I did just have her.I have not had a period in over 5 weeks, I was curious because I have no idea when to test because, after my post partum bleeding (4-5weeks long) I had my first period about a week or 2 later, and my second one the week after that.. I know it S^cked.Should I wait another week to test just in case maybe? That’s what I was thinking. You never know I guess. I did have a traumatic labor and had to have a C section, and I bled out a lot. So I would be considered high risk? If i was I think. So maybe I shouldn’t wait that long.I just might as well never have sex with the husband again. ha haGo figure it took for ever to conceive our daughter.My symptoms the last 2 weeks*uncontollably moody*Peeing more 6-10 times ( i was peeing 3 times a day after I had my daughter) * Feeling really sick to my stomach at night – throwing up* heartburn ( my first symptom with my daughter* really emotional*sneezing A LOT ( i know but… I never sneeze, it was a symptom with my daughter too)Or Maybe I should just say im getting sick.. hahaNo thats not what I mean. I mean would my HCG levels have gone down from my previous pregnancy by now?Uh oh is right.. But let me say how Good that uh oh was.. Thank youYea it took about a year with Alyssa, and prior to that we used no birth control. Now using no birth control again… I’ll be happy if Im pregnant, the hubby wont be.. lol

A: I have heard that breast feeding does mess with your cycle. Try a test if it comes up positive then make a doctors appointment if not then your not pregnant.Seems like it takes forever when you want a baby so badly and then when your just not ready to have one you get pregnant lol. It took us over a year to conceive this one.

Kinda period, kinda pregnancy question..?

Q: So, I’ve done a lot of research, and while I know nobody is the same, or has the same symptoms and such, I really think that I’m pregnant… I had sex two and a half weeks ago, unprotected. And I started getting some early pregnancy symptoms, and I just felt like something was different with my body. At the end of July I stopped taking my birth control (they weren’t agreeing with me), after having been taking them for 3 1/2 years, and I had my period on August 9th which was relatively regular even though I wasn’t on the pill anymore. It was even normal, a little heavier than it was when I was on the pill, but other than that it was the same.Now, I should have started my period on this last Sunday, the 6th, but I didn’t. Then Tuesday rolls around, and I had this like brownish discharge (like old blood, but I don’t usually get this until the end of my period) at like noon. All day, I only had that, but it was on and off, and it wasn’t even heavy enough to get onto a liner even if I waited hours to go to the bathroom. Then I had a little bit of red blood once went I wiped, but after that no more. Then today, I didn’t have any blood, no brown stuff when I woke up, so I took a pregnancy test, and it was negative. However, it was only three days after my missed period, and it wasn’t a top of the line test (it was a Natureplex Be Certain kind) so it might not be able to pick up low levels of hcg… Then about an hour later, I started spotting… Some red, some brownish. Now, about 9 hours later, I’ve only got red blood, and to me, it seems like more than spotting, but its still only very barely getting onto a pad… and there are a few like clots.. but they’re tiny compared to what I’m used to…So pretty much my question is how much would you consider spotting? I’ve looked for it, but no where specifies how much blood spotting would be. And if there are little bitty (like as big as a number on a cell phone) clots does it mean it is my period? or could it still just be bleeding and it could still be possible for me to be pregnant?I’m still gonna keep looking, and hoping that its not my period, but does anybody have any answers? I know this is a lot to read, and not all of it is necessary info but…

A: I really think the odds of you being pregnant are low. I believe what you are experiencing are the changes your body needs to make to readjust to not being hormonally supressed. After taking the pill for that long, it will take more than a month for that readjustment to happen. In some cases, it can take up to a year for the natural monthly hormone cycle to show up again. Most of the time it takes 3-6 months. What you describe is old endometrium. The lining isn’t entirely shed each month, and with the pill you tend not to build up a lot. But there is always some old stuff around. As the lining ages, the individual red blood cells break down and clump together. The liquid leaks out, so what you are left with is a sort of cell goo. The hemoglobin was long since recovered, so the cells no longer have that to turn them red in the presence of air. So they do look like clots or golbs of some liver stuff. The fact that you are seeing them suggests that your body is still trying to get things straightened out. The pill works by tricking the body into thinking you are already pregnant. What you have each month is not really a period, but what is called a withdrawl bleed. You withdraw the hormones that supress the ovulation, and your body thinks you delivered a child. That brings on the rest of things. In this case, you are not supressing ovulation anymore, but your body is having to adapt just as it would if you had been pregnant and delivered. It would be highly unlikely you ovulated this past month. Not impossible, but not probable. I realize you want to be pregnant, but I just don’t think this is what’s happening to you. I really think this is the natural result of not taking the pill and letting your body take over again. It would be best for a potential pregnancy to wait at least another month or two before you really try getting pregnant as well. Your body really does need to go through at least one or two natural cycles, to be sure it has everything in sync. A pregnancy test at this point would be fairly accurate as well. It is far more likely to get a false negative than a false positive, because either the pregnancy hormone is there or it isn’t. You can repeat the test again in a week, at which point you would have a very accurate test you could depend on as your final word. But I would not recommend getting your hopes up at this point. I really do think you are not pregnant, and simply adapting to not taking the pill.
