Weird Symptoms...too Early to Take Pg Test Posted: 03-31-07 01:29am
Hi. Okay, so here's the deal. Basically I
had unprotected sex the third week of
March (this month). The last day of my
last period was March 11. Earlier this
week, I was experiencing bloating and a
feeling of fullness even though I was not
eating all that much (I had a bowl of
cereal, four potato skins and a half a
cinnabon over 12 hours and felt I had been
eating non-stop all day). Also, was
feeling kind of gassy. Yesterday (Friday
morning), when I woke up and went to the
bathroom there was very dark brown heavy
discharge. Hella weird since I have only
seen discharge like that at the end of my
period. Next time I went to the bathroom
the discharge was much heavier. Next time
I checked it was dark reddish-brown and
had soaked up most of my pantyliner. When
I checked later that night, it was VERY
red and was now on my pantyliner and
panties. It was a lot so I finally just
put a pad on. Last time I checked it was
straight up light period blood..only I
shouldn't be getting my period until
around April 11.
I really have no idea what's going on. I
am planning on taking a pregnancy test
either April 6 (First Response) or April
11. But until then I just don't know what
is going on. I know it's possible I'm
pregnant..but even if I am why am I
experiencing period-like bleeding? It's
freaking me out. Guess I just wanted some
sort of advice before I took the test.
Honestly, the whole situation is making me
lose my mind. I'm not sure if anyone is
even interested in a bit of a back
story..but long story short. I broke up
with my boyfriend of 3 years last May. He
wouldn't accept that it was over and
started showing up at my college, etc. My
family got fed up so I put a restraining
order on him (he was also abusive at
times, physically/verbally/emotionally
while we were together). Even after the
RO, he still persued me. Instead of going
to the cops, I started seeing him again
and took the RO off without telling my
family (although I'm 25, I still live at
home. I have had multiple physical
(arthritis) and emotional (bipolar, etc.)
problems which extended my time in
college). Anyway, I told my parents I took
the RO off and stopped seeing him last
Fall.
This March he called me up begging me to
take him back. I started seeing him again
without telling my family (they only knew
I was talking to him on the phone). As I
mentioned, we hooked up. I had gotten off
the pill last Fall when I stopped seeing
him. Although I told him this, he really
didn't care and pushed for the hook up
anyway. Um yeah, so to get to the point. I
don't like how controlling my ex is or how
much power I give him over me so I cut
things off with him once again this month.
But now I think I might be pregnant and it
is not good. My family would take me being
pregnant with his baby as the final slap
in the face and I am pretty sure would
kick me out and tell me to just raise it
with him. I don't want to move in with my
ex though. He is pretty enraged that I cut
it off with him again. He also knows that
in the four months we didn't talk that I
met a new guy who also happens to be my
best friend. My ex isn't too happy about
that either. I don't want to move in with
him because I know how controlling and
angry he is and can be. However, moving in
with my best friend isn't an option
either. I could move into his dorm while
he's up here in college..but when he goes
home on break I would be screwed. I
crashed my car in an accident and have no
means of transportation. Also, I am
personally against abortion so that's not
really an option either. So I just have
about a million thoughts a minute going
through my mind. I'm sorry if I bored
anyone. Guess I have a lot on my mind. Any
advice on my question would be
appreciated. Later ^^

This sounds like far too heavy bleeding
for you to be pregnant... normally when
women have bleeding during their pregnancy
it is slight spotting, and brownish, never
bright red. Because of this, and the
timing, I would suggest scheduling
yourself for a check up with an ob-gyn.

It sounds like you could have had a freaky
cycle with a weird early period. Women do
occasionally have anovulatory cycles
(where no ovulation occurs) and these
cycles will tend to be much shorter or
much longer than their normal cycles. It
sounds like that could have happened in
your case. One of these is not a big
deal, but several of these may indicate a
problem. Make an appointment and discuss
it with your gynecologist. I doubt you
are pregnant though because the bleeding
sounds too heavy for implantation or
pregnancy spotting.

Hi all. Just to update. I am bleeding
very, very heavily now. I am soaking
through a pad every 2 to 3 hours. Really
sucks. I'm starting to think now that I
had an early miscarriage or blighted ovum
(I think it's called?). I have the
symptoms (heavy bleeding and
slight/occasional cramping).

Those can also be the symptoms of other
things. Early miscarriage - this early -
is generally not even noticeable by your
period.
