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,
"No. You can't have your menstrual period while you're pregnant.
Some women do have vaginal bleeding during pregnancy. Some even report intermittent bleeding that seems like a regular period to them. But vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is not the same thing as menstruation.
Menstruation only happens when you're not pregnant: Each month, your uterus grows a thick blood-rich lining in preparation for an egg to embed there. If you don't get pregnant that month, you shed this tissue and blood – that's your menstrual period.
But once an egg embeds in the uterine lining, hormones tell the blood-rich tissue to stay intact to support the growing baby. And you won't shed it and start having your period again until your pregnancy is over."

I has intercourse with my boyfriend around ovulation, he pulled out. My period or whatever that was came a day early, started with light pink turned red brown on first day then second day it was lighter flow (usually 2,3 rd day is heavy with cloths where I can soak a tampon within two hours). Well second day I only used two tampons. Day third it was back to very light red/brown didn't even fill up a tampon and day 4 rarely anything mostly brown. I took a pregnancy test 2nd and 3rd day after this was done and it was negative. I don't have sore breast but I feel very tired. Could I be pregnant? Any advise would be appreciated.
