Just Wondering About Period.. Short, Light Ect... Posted: 07-20-06 00:24am
Hey I have a question, I got my period on
monday and today ( wednesday ) its pretty
much done... My period is never this
short!!!! It was only 3 days!!! And it
was dark red, pink,light red color....
What I think is normal... But it wasnt
heavy @ all this month.. Last month my
period almost lasted 6 days. Im just
wondering if there is a chance I could be
preggo... Ive been tired all the time..
I missed my pack last month because I had
to switch birth control packs due to the
fact that my old birth control was giving
me problems...
My last period was june 22 and it lasted 6
days. Since then I have had sex pretty
much everyday or every other day about 2-6
times a day ( im really attracted to my
boyfriend lol but I dont think he minds
lol ) so I guess im wondering if there is
a chance of pregnancy... Im assuming
there isnt because I had my (short)
period. I know you can still be pregnant
and have a period....
Any idea's on why my period was so light
and short? Also do you think there is a
chance of pregnancy? Or is my body just
being weird?
Thanks everyone!!!

To mean period is to actually release the
egg and lining so no you cant have a
period whilst pregnant,but you can bleed
although from my experience the blood is
totally different.I think us women have a
different point of view from the medical
world as to what a period is. We describe
any vaginal bleeding as a period. The
medical world has different definitions
for vaginal blood occurrences. If you
spot brown blood for two days and know
your not pregnant, then the doc may tell
you that was a period. If you spot for
two days and are pregnant, then doc may
say that isn't a period and have some
medical terminology for it. The medical
world has to take everything else in your
life at that time into consideration as
well (like on/off birth control, health
problems, etc.) to properly diagnose what
the bleeding actually is.

Cha-cha, you posted on the birth control
forum that you are currently taking bith
control. I doubt you are pregnant. Birth
control can cause lighter periods that
don't last as many days.
If you are concerned, take a pregnancy
test.

No one can have their period while
pregnant. Periods only come after
ovulation and youre certainly not
ovulating while pregnant. You may have
some bleeding or spotting but please
refrain from using the term "period" its
misleading and confuses many people.

Women think its a period cause thier
bleeding like loulou said.It can be due to
your bc or any stress you might be going
through at the moment. The fact that you
have had a lot of sex even during the
month you were not on bc means there is a
great chance you could be pregnant.I would
wait a couple of days and test

Lol sorry about the confusion. I was on
loestrin (sp) and I dont like it. I
missed the pack last month (long story)
and I want to go on a different
b-control... Anyways, I was just
wondering why my period was weird this
month. After I wrote that post I
researched all about that.. Anyways, I
know its not a period but I didnt know any
other way to describe it.
