Periods while Pregnant

Yes, but wait two weeks and take a pregnancy test anyway. Here's some signs...

10. Tender, swollen breasts One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

11. Fatigue Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep.

8. Implantation bleeding Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus — a process that starts just six days after fertilization — but no one knows for sure.

The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it's accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)

7. Nausea or vomiting If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

6. Increased sensitivity to odors If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

7. Abdominal bloating Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

8. Frequent urination Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

3. A missed period If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

4. Your basal body temperature stays high If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant.

And finally...

1. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test In spite of what you might read on the box, many home pregnancy tests are not sensitive enough to detect most pregnancies until about a week after a missed period. So if you decide to take one earlier than that and get a negative result, try again in a few days.

First of all, getting ur period during pregnancy is not possible. If you bleed heavily during pregnancy, consult a doctor, might be miscarriage.

That depends on how old you are, what medications you've been taking, what your level of physical exercise is, how bad the cramps are, whether or not you have any other "female health problems" and whether you are pregnant or not. If you are having a problem such as this you should be examined by your doctor. Lynn, RN

Possibly. I am looking for the same answer except my period is like 2 or 3 weeks late. But I hope whatever answers that you are looking for you find. My suggestion if you haven't had your period yet would be to take a pregnancy test as soon as you find possible. Best of luck to you..!

It is possible that you are pregnant. I am 15 weeks pregnant now and have been pregnant before. Each time i noticed the "tight pulling sensation" They were similar to menstrual cramps but very quick and sharp. I noticed this right around the time i was expecting my period. Hope this helps!

right im in the situation myself at the moment me and my girlfriend have been together about a year.

we havent had sex yet she has missed her period for the first time.

We have fooled around abit and all these things pop up in my mind about tyms ejaculation could have gon from me to her vier my fingers.

so we panic and thing pregnant i look it up on lads of sites for 2 days not straight just in my free time and realise tht infact it is normal to miss them but my girlfriend wont take a test she doesnt want it to be positive. I just have to wait.

AM I IN TROUBLE OR IS THERE A GOO CHANCE WE WILL BE OK ???

Some women experience light periods--or even regular flow--throughout their pregnancies, but bleeding can also be a sign of miscarriage. Ask your doctor.

Yes, when I was pregnant with my first child, I had cramps for about 3 days before my missed period and 2 days after. I was told that it is normal but I would still get it checked out after the day of your missed period.

yes yes yes

You can't make your period come early, and there's no reason to do so either. Menstruation is controlled by your menstrual cycle, a domino effect of hormonal changes, you can't skip phases of your cycle or speed-up your cycle to make your period start earlier than it is due to start.

yes very obese people never get it and people who are very thin and athletic don't get it either

Please help me, I'm only 13 years old and i didn't get my period and I'm scared that I'm NEVER gonna get it because I'm thin and i have like this vagina addiction... i know it sounds disturbing, but I'm scared.

but yes if you work out alot No i mean LIKE A LOT your never gonna get your period.

Possible. If you're not just starting your period , then it could be an infection or possibly miscarriage.

it may be a good idea to see a doctor asap to rule out an etopic pregnancy eg. when an egg gets fertilized and gets lodged in the fallipian tube, it is a dangerous condition and needs immediate attention, this amoung other things could cause your symptoms, please seek medical attention now.

periods are commonly irregular. if ones a little shorter or a little longer that's completely normal.

To ensure the best results for an at-home pregnancy test

* Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest * Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results * Take the test no more than 1-2 days before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period the percentage of accuracy is very low. * urinate for as long as possible on the foam like strip * wait for the results!!!

so that you can know when you start it's you bodys own little way of telling you "you start in ten days"

Although cervical mucus may become abundant in pregnancy due to the presence of hormones cervical mucus will not indicate whether you are pregnant or not. If your period is late you may test for pregnancy,otherwise it is impossible to predict whether you are pregnant or not.All the best and good luck!

yes

yes take a urine test, joymaker rn

Sometimes that can be a sign that you're going to have a really bad period. That happened to me twice this year and both times I thought I was pregnant. I was bloated, tender breasts, missed period...but it eventually came. I was so bloated I gained 4 pounds in water weight. But there's no way to tell whether I was pregnant and miscarried early or if I legitmately had a period.

Hi I'm not sure because I got Implantation bleeding 2 weeks before my period got my period so now I just can't be pregnant or maybe I'm pregnant but don't know it period while pregnant they call it.

It could of been stressed which can cause your period to be late or your age or diet could of caused it to be late as well. Go take a pregnancy test or go get a blood test. You could go and see a doctor or go book in at the nearest clinic.

I think that it could mean that you are pregnant but it's best that you check with a doctor because some wimen have their normal period but still are pregnant. It's rare but it happens. But somthing else may be in qestion to. You may be experiancing some hormonal changes in your body but the best thing to do is to check with a doctor.

"Yes some women have found that when they are pregnant their urine becomes darker and can smell stronger than usual. There a few potential causes of this. Pregnant women tend to have a greater sense of smell and taste so if they may be able to better smell their own urine, even though it actually hasn't changed. Some women believe that they can smell the hormone that is produced and released into urine. That hormone is called the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), but it is unknown if women can actually smell the hormone or if they are just smelling stronger urine, or as mentioned above, smelling more of their regular urine. Another reason your urine may smell stronger is because you need more water than you are usually drinking. Pregnancy requires more hydration than you may usually need, not only does the baby need water but the embryonic fluid that surrounds the baby has to some from somewhere.

The more water you drink the more water will be released into urine, diluting it and thus reducing the smell. If you drink less water, or require more water due to pregnancy, or even because you are exercising more, then your urine will smell more like ammonia then is may normally.

While stronger smelling urine can be a sign of pregnancy, it is not a useful test. Visit your doctor for a blood test, or try a home pregnancy test. Take the home pregnancy test in the morning when the level of hCG is higher in your urine as home pregnancy tests test for this hormone."

Could be but these are symptoms on pre-menstration. Have to wait until you are late. good luck Joymaker RN

yes

ANSWER

Actually I think you should go see a doctor because your period didn't last long There could be something really wrong. You got your period so you can't be pregnant but some times girls have a lighter period than usual. A missed period and not come on your period at all not even for a day or 2 is a sign of early pregnancy. Take a pregnancy test If you think you are preganat. It could be just irregular periods which have caused you to be on your period for 2 days or if you are on the pill that can also as well.
