I had my period that finished last week and 2 days later I have sore breasts, back pain, heart burn, feeling tired and can smell things more .Can I still be pregnant and thought I had a period but it wasn't ? I have a 1 year old who when I carried him from finding out till I had him 7 months I bled every time I went to the loo they said my placenta was low . What do I do? Shall I take a test or wait a while? Or could it be something else?

Hello Anonymous,

It is possible that the very light bleeding, which lasted only two days, was implantation bleeding and not your period. You could take a home pregnancy test.

Me and my husband are trying to have a baby, all month of September we have tried, i got my period Oct 6 right before bed but it only lasted 3 days it was gone by the 8th. I never have short periods they're always 5-7 days long. For some reason I didnt think anything about it, until today which is the 10th i peeed all day long and had a crazy headache also my lower back has a cramping feeling like I'm about to start my period. Could this be a sign of pregnancy or is it all in my mind, lol. I'm terrified to take a test and get a negative results because my hopes are high.

Hi! I had my period on Sept 20th it lasted 2 days and was my normal heavy flow. Now I'm experiencing fatigue, a bit of nausea, cramps and tender breasts. They're sore on the top and it's not like they hurt they just feel funny. I feel like they might just be ovulation symptoms but I've never had those before. Is it possible in pregnant?

Hi! I had sex on the 12th of September three days later I started my period that lasted for 5 days. Now is it the 30th of September and I am having strange upset stomach pains. Could this be due to pregnancy?

Hello Anonymous,

You had a period which lasted five days, so you are not pregnant.

The strange upset stomach can be the result of a few things, like a bad reaction to something you ate or the symptom of a stomach virus.
