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,

You know your body best. Since you have never had this type of period before, have been trying to conceive and your period was late by four days, I am wondering if this might have been a very early miscarriage. Passing what looked like tissue and small clots along with abdominal cramping makes me wonder.

Consider speaking with your gynecologist, who is more knowledgeable and can better advise you.

Regards,
Maryann

Hi,

I'm wondering if I am pregnant or just dreaming to be a mother soon.

I had my period last August 2-6, Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex last Aug 14-16, and suddenly my period came so early Aug 19-22, which is very unusual for me because I always have 28 days cycle for 12 years now..

I had nausea and vomiting, sometime i feel very tired. Lower back pain and some pelvic cramps. Until now, I don't have menstruation. I also use PT for 3 times but it all came out negative results

Hello,
Around the 10th I started showing brown instead of my expected period. The first day it's spotting inconsistently and then the second brown was flowing more so and eventually turned into brownish very dark blood spots. Almost like my body was struggling to have a period. Never seen that before my period only brown afterwards. The third day I bled heavily and more like tissues or chunks. I Then bled for about 3 more days. A day or two after the period I had pains under my stomach for four days. Now I'm currently experiencing period like symptoms and I'm not expecting my period anymore. I've also been abnormally tired and very nauseous. I'm reaching out because I've tried to make an appt at various places in town and even with my pains I've had I can't get in for months out.

Hello Anonymous,

Is there an urgent care center or walk-in clinic near your home?

If not, please have someone drive you to the emergency room of your local hospital.

I am concerned that from the details of your post, in particular pain and heavy bleeding with clots, you may have had a miscarriage.

I do not want to alarm you. I want you to be safe and get medical attention now.

Regards,
Maryann

Hi. I had my period last Sept. 9 (about the same day with my period last august) but this time it lasted for 1 day only which is very unusual as i regularly have my period for 3-4 days. Now it is morning of Sept 18 and i am feeling pain right below my tummy. I have been feeling tired and nauseous every now and then. Could i be pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

Was it spotting or a flow that lasted only one day? Have you had unprotected intercourse since you last period in August?

Levels of hCG, which is the hormone produced during pregnancy, can be detected in urine about 12 to 14 weeks after conception.

If it has been at least two weeks since unprotected intercourse, you could test, in the morning and use the first urine when you wake up, with an early response pregnancy test.

Regards,
Maryann

Hi,
I didn't know my question here was answered until I checked my spam mail today. It was a flow for about half to 1 day and yes me and my husband do not use any protection as we are wanting to have a baby. I still haven't used a PT and waiting if I will have my period this month. If I don't then that's when I'll try to do a test. Thanks for your response.
