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,
I had my period about two weeks ago and I had sex with my boyfriend on my period. we don't use condoms but he doesn't nut in me either... anyways I was at work and then I started to have this white discharge and then I started having menstrual like cramps afterward. I'm really confused. ive read it could be pregnancy but I'm not sure and I don't have insurance so I don't want to go to a hospital just yet.. please help me. I need as much information as possible.

Hello Anonymous,

Having unprotected sex without ejaculation while having your period does not pose a risk for pregnancy.

There is no need to go to the hospital because of the discharge.

Keep an eye on it. Should it resemble cottage cheese and start itching, it could be a yeast infection.

Regards,
Maryann

Hi, A week and five days after my period went off, i woke up to go to the bathroom at 7 a.m and i was spotting pink discharge in the morning. I ignored it and thought to myself its just ovulation then took a a bath. When I went to the bathroom around 6 I didn't see any discharge. Later that day around 9 p.m I saw brown discharge in my underwear and that's when I thought could I be pregnant? I also had back pains that day but it all went away and I was back to normal the next day. Yes ive been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend.

Hi, my usual cycle is 23-25 days, my period was supposed to start on March 20, then we had our last sex on March 29 (I was already 10 days late), then I had spotting (brown with clear discharge), then after 2 days of spotting, I had a moderate period flow, but it stopped mid day, the next day when I woke up, my pad has no blood, but my flow started again in the afternoon till evening, it was still moderate. Not my usual period because my period is usually 5 days (1st day light, 2nd and 3rd day heavy, then moderate, then light). Then it continued on 3rd day (same routine, no blood in the morning), but it stopped, then I had spotting again for 2 days.

I had negative pt results, but I still feel nauseated, tired, my lower back aches, and I still have mild lower ab cramps, I also vomited.

Is it still possible that I'm pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

Please call and speak with your gynecologist.

Your period has presented differently, and you should be evaluated in person by your doctor.

With a physical exam and any necessary blood tests, you should get an answer.

I had my period last month and then had my period this month last week. However, I've been having headaches, back pains, and weird stomach pains.. these all started Monday which was two days after my period ended. I haven't had vaginal sex in two years and I had protected anal sex two months ago and had oral sex the day before my period. Could I be pregnant?

Hi, I'm having a similar issue. We are trying to conceive baby number 2 and my cycle is normally 28 days but this month my period arrived 3 days early and stayed for 6 days unlike the normal 5. It was mainly dark reddy brown with a slight bit of lighter blood. Two days after my period finished I started to get lower back pain like period pain. This has been coming and going now for 3-days. I did a pregnancy test 3 days ago just in case but it was negative. Im also getting alot of clear discharge but a few months ago when I did ovulation tests it turned out I ovulate in the middle of my cycle. Im so confused. Really think there something odd going on. Any help would be appreciated xx
