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?

I have had unprotected sex on and off for the past month last week I stopped due to an expecting period. I usually start on Sunday (this would have been the 22) and last until at least Friday(which would have been the 27). I didnt start until the 27 but I had spotting Tuesday the 24 til Thursday the 26. My period was a lot lighter than usual. And it ended Tuesday. I woke up this morning the 3rd and had cramping with light spotting. I have been extremely tired, my breasts have been swollen but not sore, I have had frequent headaches and nausea. What could this be?I am also on the pill but I constantly miss pills on accident.

Also I never spot. And it started out as a light pink then changed to a brownish discharge. The second spotting is pink. Not sure if it'll change to brownish discharge or not.

Hi, I had unprotected sex last month and 24 hours later (almost) I took the plan B pill. A couple days later I had my period and it was normal. But now I suddenly started feeling paranoid about being pregnant. It's been almost exactly a month since my last period and today I started spotting. I usually spot before my period. But i'm worried it could be implantation bleeding. I've also been cramping, not too bad, for the past couple of days. Can I take a pregnancy test even though i'm spotting? Will it be accurate? Can stress delay my period even though i'm spotting?

Hi there, i had unprotected sex with my bf on third of day of my period (usually 5 days of period). He accidently finished inside me. The next morning I went to a pregnancy doctor and he said it's unlikely to be pregnant but I asked him i don't want to get pregnant and he injected me with contraceptive that last for a month. Odd enough after the injection my period totally stopped. And my breasts feel tight and sensitive, my lower abdomen feels a bit of pain once in awhile, and back pain. Usually these symptoms happen right before my period started. Could I be pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

You could not be pregnant because the physician gave you a contraceptive injection. I suggest you tell the physician about the symptoms that you are having.

Regards,
Maryann

I had unprotected sex a week and 1 day ago now and 2 days after sex I just felt different in myself, I've been having really bad cramping, spotting, discharge but not much, heartburn, headaches, nausea, backache, metallic taste in my mouth, urinating a lot more, funny feeling in my belly, pain when urinating, pains in rib, boobs are feeling heavy and tingly and a little sore! I took a pregnancy test yesterday which was exactly 1 week from intercourse and it came back negative but I'm still not feeling right! In my head I just know I'm pregnant! Did I take the test to early? Can someone please help me?!!

I had my heavy period for 3months when I was pregnant with my son. So just because your bleeding doesnt neccessarly mean your not. Btw my son was healthy and there was nothing wrong during my pregnancy

My period came a few days early I bled real bad that whole day with heavy cramps by the following day the blood flow was gone but the cramping went all tht day no period then by the third day still cramping no period all tht day until late in the evening. I took a pregnancy test it was negative but had sex in protected. Some say you can still have a period pregnant
