Period??
Posted: 12-13-04 17:04pm

I have a friend and she think she is pregnant. She has all the symptoms except she is still getting her period. Is it possible she is pregnant?? When she got her period she got no cramps at all with it and it last like 2 days then had spotting for 2 days. We are best friends and I know her and that isn't normal for her.

Possible

some women do get period like bleeds during pregnancy.
However, she could need medical treatment if she is pregnant.
Bleeding can be caused by the placenta coming away from the uterus, which can cause miscarriage.
If that is not the cause of the bleeding she still needs to see a doctor to determine the cause of bleeding.
Also if pregnant she needs pre-natal care, vitamins etc.
The best first thing to do is get her to take a pregnancy test.
If she is pregnant, ignoring it will not make it go away and she could end up very poorly.
Please get her to test if you can.

Omg..... Sorry to vent but cmon now lets be serious. Im telling you girls some of you either want to be pregnant sooooo or ur forcing yourself to believe that ur having these weird symptoms. If she is getting her period than of course shes not pregnant. Thats pretty much a no brainer... I mean how if the fetus/baby suppose to survive if all the lining (whats keeping the baby comfy, safe and growing..) is shedding! Girls now cmon be a little more serious. Dont make urself sick over "am I pregnant???"
if you had sex (protected or unprotected you put yourself at risk for becming pregnant and its a 50/50 chance. If you have sex during your period, a few days before your period is suppose to come or a few days after than theres only a small chance.) but bottom line is if you have or had sex you may be pregnant. Also... If you are late on your period go buy a freakin test the day your period is suppose to be due. If your not late on your period yet, then there is not much you can do but wait.

Im not sure about you guys but im getting kinda sick of girls who had sex 2 days ago and come on here asking if they might be preggo... Or for someone who hasnt had their period in 2 months and also ask... I mean use common sense. Dont make urself sick worrying just go to dollar tree and buy a test. Its not hard.............. Rolling Eyes ...........
I know some of you may attack me right now but many girls here are acting very immature about this. You pretty much have two choices... Dont have sex.. And not worry about pregnancy.. Or have sex (pls use protection) and then test asap when your period is late... Thats it.. Its that simple. Wink

Ummmmmmmmmm honestly, you actually can have period like bleeds during your pregnancy.

Even if she isn't pregnant, her doctor can hopefully find out what is causing her pregnancy like symptoms.

Harmless ovarian cysts can cause pregnancy like symptoms even.

So either way pregnant or not if she is having pregnancy symptoms and apparent periods she should get checked out.


Meg will you go with her for moral support???

Innchik- you can actually get period like bleeding during pregnancy. It can be spotting or as heavy as a light period. Do a search on google.


Meg- I am glad you made an appointment to get tested. It the only way to know for sure, I wish you the best of luck!

She would be 11 weeks. She is nauseous all the time except from like 10 to 11 in the morning because that is when we eat lunch. Her boobs hurt. She has to pee all the time. Soooo moody. It is hard to get along with her sometime because she goes from crying to happy to angry within like 5 minutes. Her stomach is kind of bloated to you can tell looking at her something is wrong. And there is also headaches, lightheadedness and fatigue. Yes the same as me. I would be okay with her being preggo then we could raise our babies together.

It wouldnt be the typical period though.......
It may be spotting.. Or brownish blood.. Bad cramps with some on and off bleeding.. But its not possible to have a normal (3-5 day) continuing flow period. I just had a miscarriage and go to my doc every other day for check-ups cuz shes monitoring my hcg levels.. But anyways I asked her cuz I had that before and she explained to me that the only way ur bleeding if ur pregnant is if ur having really bad cramps and that means you might be miscarrying or the placenta has dettached itself from the lining or anothe complication..But it comes with a lotttt of pain and believe me in those cases you would probably be in the emergency room within hours....

Im sorry you guys understood me wrong.......

I got my point proven when meg replied that she would be 11 weeks.
Why worry urself sick when she could have taken a pregnancy test like 2 months ago.. Thats what I dont understand.
I promise im trying to be supportive and im soo glad that you guys made an appointment...Its just I work in a hospital up in family birth place ..And I see the consequences many moms have to go through because they did not seek medical help when they suspected they were pregnant. You girls need to be on pre-natal vitamins from day 1 because in the first 12 weeks is when all the organs including the heart and brain develope. The baby needs all the vitamins it can get in that crucial time period. And some girls dont go to their doc until their like 14-16 weeks pregnant. So basically what I was trying to say is if you put urself in risk to become pregnant it is your responsibility to test asap and go get medical attention right away to prevent any birth defects.

or Very sad

I am going to the doctor but I didn't think about her and I thought she just had the flu and but it hasn't gone away yet so I am thinking it isn't the flu.

Same as who??

I just had a hysterectomy that means no uterus that means no period. I still have perfectly normal periods!!!!!!!!! Exactly the same as before my hysterectomy.

There are exceptions to every rule. You can have period like bleeds during pregnancy.

No they will not be official periods, sometimes it could be from some endometrial lining outside the cervix - there are a million and one reasons.

Not everyone has pain, everyone is different.

Gee if we take me as an example I was walking round for 3 weeks with a ruptured uterus and a belly full of blood and amniotic fluid and my baby still had a heartbeat even though the uterus ruptured through at the placenta.

Technically I should have been dead, but as I am typing this we will assume I am not.

Innchik - i'm sorry you miscarried but not every one miscarries the same.

Some people are in agony, some just seem to have a heavy period.

Meg- hun seriously pls take her to the doc with you. Im not trying to scare you guys.. But if she really is pregnant and bleeding than that might not be good. She really needs a doctor to check her out.. Take her blood.. Do a pelvic exam.. Possibly an ultrasound.. Just to make sure everything is ok...
Keep us posted cuz this is a tricky subject and none of us really know the answer. I mean anything is possible when you think about it that way.. But noone knows the answers.. So it would be best if you went and got professional help...Sorry if I hurt you.. I promise I was not aiming at anyone specifically just to everyone in genderal...And if I said anything hurtful im sorry... I wish you both luck...
