Can Your Period Cause a Pregnancy Test to Show Up Neg.?
Posted: 06-21-04 16:27pm

I was felt like I was preg. For bout 2-3 weeks, the day I should have gotten my period, I took a hpt , the one where it can tell you 5 days b4 ur missed period. Well it was neg. Late that night I got a spot of blood, and then nothing, the next morning I got another spot. Then a few hours later I got a heavy period but it didnt look like the blood that im used to, it almost looked like discharge mixed with blood, and I felt dizzy, well I had it for 6 days, (jus like my period normally would last) but after 2 days of a heavey flow it was really light. Like barley anything, well my period is over now its been like a day- and I feel symptoms even stronger, like sharp abdomonal pain, headache, tired, im only 17. I lost my baby 2 years ago so its hard to remember my pregnancy symptoms I had but as far as I remember they were pretty similar to how I feel now.
Can your period effect the results on a hpt??
Please respond asap!!!

No. One more thing- if you had a period, chances are 99.9% that you aren't pregnant. Have you changed birth control in any way like started or stopped or gotten off schedule?

Accually yea- I stopped takin my birth control like a month and a half ago. I thought the same about most likley not bein pregnant, cuz I got my period, but I kno some girls still get there period while pregnant, so I was curious. Thanks

Any change to your birth control can cause pregnancy-like symptoms because your body is trying to adjust its horomone levels back to normal. You are probably not pregnant, and you will probably start to feel normal again after a couple more periods.

I didnt kno that, I guess I never really thought bout the side effects of getting off birth control.

Well some once and a while do , but its not common to have a normal or heavy period while pregnant. But if its heavy and painful that could possibly be a misacarriage? Maybe not tho. But birth control does have side effects too* how old ru ?

No im not tryin, I jus wasnt sure of certain things and needed some answers, id be scared to become pregnant again, my moms mean and would kill me id be scared to tell her. But I jus wanted to kno- cuz I have had situations where the condem broke and id rather kno my chances so if there was a possible pregnancy I could be aware and keep myself healthy.
