Q: 

If you cramp a week before your period, spot then bleed heavy for two days and spot after are you pregnant?

I started cramping a week before my period was due. I was spotting for two days then I began to have heavy bleeding for two days. After the two days of heavy bleeding I began to spot for two days and then nothing. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. My mom and sister thinks it may be to early to detect pregnancy but i think I'm not..although the period was not as heavy as I'm used to and the fact that I don't usually get cramps during my period. Should I take another test? Is something wrong with me?

Hi, I'm really confused June 10th of this year I lost our twins at 6 weeks 5 days and was given 2 rounds of chemo well on August 29th I was given provera to start my period and I started in September and it lasted 5 days I was do to start my next period on October 4th and when October 4th came I had browish light pink spotting only when I wiped and it was like that off and on till the 8th then I had 1 day of heavy bleeding and nothing since then. My breast are sore, and im peeing more then normal could I be pregnant or could this be something else?

Hello Anonymous,

Wait and see if you start having vaginal bleeding again. If you do not get a normal period this month, I suggest you schedule an appointment with your physician.

The menstrual cycle is regulated by a fine balance of hormones. If you are not pregnant, a hormonal imbalance may be the cause of your irregular period.

Regards,

Maryann

Hi,

It sounds like your period is about to start.

You feel dizzy when you don't eat because your blood glucose (sugar) levels are low. When this happens, have a glass of orange juice and something to eat.

Regards,

Maryann

I am 25 years old and I"ve had somewhat unusual periods for about a year or so now. Following a loss of my baby at 12 weeks and a D&C. I have been having regualar periods for about 4 months. Last month I had heavy bleeding not associated with pain for one day and then brown discharge 2 weeks following, with pain. Now I am about 9 days late on my next month period. I visited my gyno last month and he didnt seem concerned. What now??? I took a pregnancy test last month and it was negative. I have not had sex for about 2 and a half months now. I am confused. I dont think I am pregnant but i am concerned. I will be making another doctors appoitnment but maybe with a different doctor.
