If you have a period every week or so then there is something not right! You are meant to have your period every month, some people stay on their period for about a week or 2, some people who have just started could only stay on for about 3-5 days, everyone is different. If you miss your period on the month your due on, it is most likely that you are pregnant, if you are positive that you are not pregnant then it would be a good idea to see your doctor! Also it would be a good idea to see your doctor if you come on every week or so too instead of a monthly period.
How do you know you are fertile if your cycle is every 16 days?
Normally women ovulate, 10-14 days after the last day of their period. They do make an ovulation kit, you'll find it the same place you find pregnancy tests.
Can being pregnant make you have a period on the wrong day of the month?
When a female is pregnant, she does not have any periods. The most you will get (until time to deliver) is some spotting in the beginning, after sexual intercourse, or near the end of the pregnancy. Spotting means a very light pinkish fluid that doesn't actually "bleed" but would appear on a pantyliner at various times throughout the day in a very small amount.
If you are bleeding any more than just spotting during a pregnancy you must seek medical attention immediately. It could be extremely dangerous for you and your unborn baby if you do not get it checked out.
My BBT has remained high but you have light bleeding could you be pregnant?
Yes. The bleeding can be implantation bleeding, and there are also other 'normal' causes of light bleeding in early pregnancy - the key is that it is 'light' bleeding. Anything heavier could be a menstraul flow, which is not possible during pregnancy. Heavy bleeding during early pregnancy is not okay, and should be checked out immediately. Keep in mind, that sometimes BBT remains high for the first few days of AF, so a high BBT doesn't guarantee pregnancy. However, high BBT for 16 days or more past ovulation with no bleeding is fairly good indication of pregnancy (but still not guaranteed). For example, my luteal phase is 17 days long, and my BBT remains high until 3 days after AF, so many woman might read this 20 day elevation in BBT as pregnancy, when this happens to me naturally every month!
Kung Lao is possibly (next to Liu Kang) the last known descendant of the Great Kung Lao, a former Champion of Mortal Kombat, who lost the title and his life to Goro 500 years previously, resulting in the start of Shang Tsung's rule over the tournament. Kung Lao was originally the one to represent the Shaolin in the Mortal Kombat tournament but he declined, knowing of the consequences of becoming champion. As a result, Liu Kang was chosen and emerged as the winner.
When the Shaolin temple was attacked by Baraka and his Tarkatan soldiers, Liu Kang and Kung Lao resolved to travel through the portal to the Outworld and avenge their fallen Shaolin brothers. Kung Lao's ultimate goal was however to rebuild the White Lotus Society at the Wu Shi Academy in order to train a new generation of warriors for the coming ages. Following Shao Kahn's defeat at Liu Kang's hand, the monks returned to Earth and began training the next generation of Shaolin warriors. (Kung Lao's character bio was not included in the arcade version of Mortal Kombat 3, but was later made available for the home versions.)
When Shao Kahninvaded Earthrealm during Mortal Kombat 3, Kung Lao had to temporarily scrap his plans for reforming the White Lotus Society. Eventually, he faced Shao Kahn. The Emperor of Outworld defeated Kung Lao and injured him so badly that he was believed to have died. Hearing of Kung Lao's apparent death enraged Liu Kang, who challenged Shao Kahn and successfully defeated him for the second time.
With Outworld driven back during Mortal Kombat Gold, Kung Lao decided not to return to Shaolin, instead allowing everyone to believe that he was dead and went on to live a life of peace in respect to the beliefs of his ancestors. This would not last long however, as he was drawn away from his newfound peace to help fight against Shinnok's forces, when word reached him that Goro was still alive. After Shinnok's defeat, Kung Lao attacked Goro, who had signed a peace treaty with the Centaurs under the mediation of Kitana. Instead of being an attempted assassination, however, the blow was a ceremonial strike of vengeance for the Great Kung Lao's death. With this act, the two warriors shook hands, ending their conflict.
The next years were peaceful. This ended on a brutal note at the time of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, when the sorcerers Quan Chi and Shang Tsung united and murdered Liu Kang in a vicious attack. Kung Lao found his body and was told by Raiden that Tsung was the assassin, who had formed the Deadly Alliance with Quan Chi. Enraged, Kung Lao vowed revenge upon the sorcerer, and once again abandoned his pacifist Shaolin beliefs. He believed his current skills were insufficient to defeat Shang Tsung so after meeting with the other Earthrealm warriors and traveling to Outworld. Kung Lao informed Kitana of Liu Kang's death and she tagged along with Kung Lao and sought the advice of the martial arts teacher Bo' Rai Cho, who trained Kung Lao for a short time. Together, they joined the other warriors in the assault against the two sorcerers.
But the assault did not end well and, with Liu Kang dead, Raiden and his companions were fighting a losing battle. Kung Lao and Kitana challenged the Deadly Alliance. Kitana would fall against Quan Chi and Kung Lao would fall to the hands of Shang Tsung, leaving only Raiden to battle the Deadly Alliance. However, Kung Lao was then revived by Onaga, the Dragon King, as a slave during the events of Mortal Kombat: Deception. He and the rest of his brainwashed allies were later released from Onaga's spell by the spirit of Liu Kang after being defeated by Ermac. After being released from the spell, he and everyone else embraced Liu Kang as they celebrate their short lived defeat.
The God of Wind Fujin's bio for Mortal Kombat: Armageddon describes Kung Lao as having joined forces with him to bring their former comrades Raiden and Liu Kang under control, with the God of Thunder becoming "as ruthless as Shao Kahn" and Liu Kang's corpse selectively slaying various people. Fujin then goes on to state in his bio that if no way was found to revert the two corrupted warriors back to normal, both he and Kung Lao would be forced to finish them.[2]During the course of the game, Kung Lao successfully kills Baraka in battle, but is eventually slain by Shinnok's clone.
In the action-adventure game Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, an alternate depiction of the events between the first and second Mortal Kombat games, Kung Lao's character was explored to a greater degree than had been shown in previous titles. Kung Lao is portrayed in this game as feeling almost resentful of Liu Kang's victory in the Shaolin tournament. Although he and Liu Kang are shown to be friends - much of the time - he constantly baits his fellow Shaolin monk, especially regarding Princess Kitana, and the tournament that "Raiden" (in reality, a disguised Shang Tsung) has sent them to compete in. A rivalry between the two Shaolin monks was hence established for the first time in Shaolin Monks. As the two fighters defeated Shang Tsung's warriors, they gained victories in Mortal Kombat, forming a race of sorts to become the Champion of Mortal Kombat. Kung Lao, especially, is seen gloating to Liu Kang that he will win this tournament. This rivalry escalates until the two warriors are convinced that the other has been corrupted by the Outworld.
During the in-game story of Mortal Kombat (2011), Raiden has been given foreboding visions from his future self, and begins to try and change the events that will lead to Armageddon. He allows Kung Lao to fight and defeat Kintaro, however, Lao is then killed by Shao Kahn. This enrages Liu Kang who avenges his friend's death, apparently killing Kahn. Kung Lao's ending after defeating Shao Kahn show him at his ancestor's burial site with Raiden, where he is a given a vision of the past. Because of this vision it is discovered that Kung Lao is in fact the reincarnation of the Great Kung Lao.
[edit]Character designAs stated in Kung Lao's bio card that after the first Mortal Kombat game, the creators wanted a monk character other than Liu Kang. According to Mortal Kombat co-creator John Tobias, Kung Lao's hat was inspired by the 1964 James BondmovieGoldfinger, in which a villain Oddjob threw his special derby hat as a deadly weapon.[3]Kung Lao was portrayed by Anthony Marquez in Mortal Kombat II and Mortal Kombat 3 and Ed Boon said Marquez was as "one of the best martial artists we worked with."[4]
Kung Lao is read in Chinese as 公老 (Gōng lǎo) and is roughly translated as "Old Man". Kung Lao can be seen in Mortal Kombat II, MK3, and Shaolin Monks wearing the Chinese character 武 which means military/wu shu/martial arts.
[edit]GameplayKung Lao's attacks are based upon wind-type moves. His most notable attack is the Hat Toss, which could be directed in Mortal Kombat II, but could not be directed since Mortal Kombat Gold,[5]until Mortal Kombat (2011). Many of his Fatalities involve the use of his hat to some extent, such as slicing the body in half and decapitation.
[edit]In other mediaKung Lao made several appearances in Malibu's' Mortal Kombat comic series. His story is slightly altered, stating he is an exile in Outworld due to the failure of his ancestor, and the fall of his lineage. During the comics, he shares a very close relation with Kitana. During the "Blood & Thunder" miniseries he has a minor participation rescuing a near-death Liu Kang after he was stabbed by Kano. In the "Battlewave" miniseries, he joins with Kitana, Baraka and Sub-Zero in an attempt to ovethrow the Emperor Shao Kahn. He was also featured in his own one-shot issue from Malibu Comics in the summer of 1995. The comic, entitled "Rising Son", showed his struggle against Shang Tsung and his shapeshifting mind tricks, using his friends' forms (Kitana, Baraka and Sub-Zero) as well as his ancestor's form to kill him.
Kung Lao is mentioned by name in the first Mortal Kombat film. When Liu Kang challenges Shang Tsung to Mortal Kombat, he calls himself a "descendant of Kung Lao." The Great Kung Lao briefly appeared in the film's animated prequel Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins during a flashback sequence detailing his battle with Goro and ultimate defeat at the hands of the Shokan warrior.
Kung Lao was also the centerpiece of Jeff Rovin's novelization of the first Mortal Kombat game, but his description therein completely differed from that of the games; he was depicted as being tall, bald save for a queue of long black hair (similar to Goro's), barefoot, and wearing a long white robe.
Kung Lao will appear in Mortal Kombat: Legacy season 2, portrayed by Mark Dacascos.
[edit]Great Kung LaoGreat Kung Lao was raised in the Order of Light, a monastery of Shaolin monks. While he lived happily with his family and friends, Kung Lao prepared for his entire life to fight in Mortal Kombat. He was trained thoroughly under the monastery's phenomenal martial artists, teaching him moves many would think impossible. All of Kung Lao's training made him undeniably the monastery's best fighter. Being the first person on Earthrealm to represent the Order of Light, he would do battle with the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung, 500 years before Liu Kang would do the same. Despite Tsung having the advantage of winning nine consecutive Mortal Kombat tournaments, Kung Lao defeated him and became Grand Champion, saving Earthrealm in the process.[6]While it is common for the victor to take his opponent's life, Kung Lao spared the sorcerer. As champion, Lao could not age. Fifty years later, he was defeated in Mortal Kombat by Goro, the Shokan prince.[7]Afterwards, Kung Lao's soul was taken by Tsung, the now old man he spared half a century before. In Deception his soul is presumed freed after Shang Tsung is killed by Raiden's failed attempt to destroy the Dragon King, giving his soul peace after more than five centuries of torment.
The Great Kung Lao was featured in the television show Mortal Kombat: Konquest as the main protagonist and was portrayed by Paolo Montalbán.[8]He is the great great great grandfather of Kung Lao and Liu Kang, who follow his teachings. After becoming Grand Champion, the thunder god Raiden tells him that, because he was the last defending warrior of Earthrealm, Lao is now destined to train new warriors to compete against Kahn's forces for the next Mortal Kombat. He initially rejects this responsibility because he desired to marry his girlfriend Jen, despite her father's refusal.[9]While this took place, Shang Tsung, who was now imprisoned in the Cobalt Mines by Shao Kahn after he failed to beat Kung Lao, sought his revenge and sends the undead warrior Scorpion to kill Kung Lao.[9]Scorpion fails to defeat Kung Lao, but manages to kill Jen during the battle. After losing her, Kung Lao commits to training new warriors to defend Earthrealm and fight in Mortal Kombatwhen the time comes. He is joined by Jen's bodyguard Siro and by Taja, a thief who (with Raiden's persuasion) saved Kung Lao's life from Jen's father.[10]Kung Lao is killed by the Shadow Priests along with Taja and Siro in the final episode of Konquest.[11]
[edit]ReceptionDespite being stated as a fan favorite by CNET in 2006,[12]he has been referred to as an "obscure" character by CBS that same year.[13]In 2008, IGNlisted him as a character they would like to see as downloadable content for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, noting him to be a fan favorite character and praising his appearance and his decapitating moves made with his hat.[14]In 2010, IGN mistakenly noted Kung Lao as Liu Kang's brother and died early in the film (this character was actually Chan Kang) and said that Liu Kang and Kung Lao make the franchise "at its best" when they join forces.[15]In UGO's 2012 list of the top Mortal Kombat characters, Kung Lao placed fifth.[16]
Much of reception regarded his Fatality moves and his famous hat. In a CNET review of Shaolin Monks, it was stated that Kung Lao's body-dividing Fatality "simply doesn't get old."[17]This Fatality was the only death move from the Mortal Kombatseries added to the "Top 10 Death Moves" segment of the GamesMasterGore Special episode and was voted at number four with a comment that no such list "will be complete without a death move from Mortal Kombat, but with so many to choose from, we ended up with a split decision."[18]In 2009, GameProlisted Kung Lao's hat as the ninth best piece of headwear in gaming.[19]His "Bunny Beatdown" from the same game was also ranked as the 43rd craziest fatality in the gaming byComplex.comin 2010, while the hat slice was ranked fifth.[20]Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon commented that Kung Lao's MK2011 'buzzsaw-on-the-ground' was "probably the most painful-looking Fatality ever made."[21]That same year, Kung Lao's hat splice Fatality ranked as 35th most gruesome finishing move ever by UGO.com.[22]In 2012, Cheat Code Central's Shelby Reiches included the "Jewel Splitter" Fatality among the four worst cinematic scenes in games, commenting: "Every time he does this to a male fighter, I can hardly watch. I try not to fight against Kung Lao anymore."[23]That same year, IGN ranked his hat as 79th top weapon in video game history.[24]
girl hold it right there this is my story i want to share with everyone that has this ''Q'' i have two kids 11 months apart that mean when my son was 6 weeks old i got pregnant with my daugther now my kids are 3 and two and my life is crazy cause i had to some how tell my fam. that i was pregnant again and my boyfriend didnt know how we where going to do with one baby and now we where going to have two so i hope your not but very likely you r cause it is very easy to get pregnant after you just had a baby adel
It depends. If you're in your teens, your period might not have normalized yet. Have you been under any significant stress? That mess with your period, too.
If you're very concerned or this has happened repeatedly, you might want to talk to your doctor. You could consider going on the pill. It can help regulate your period.
Hello there. The main thing here is that your period did arrive hun. Because it arrived and was heavy, it sounds like you are not pregnant. But if your in doubt, see doctor for a blood test.
If you have not had sexual intercourse recently then it most likely means you may have a urinary tract infection. You will need to see your doctor about this for some antibiotics. But if you've had unprotected sex recently then perform a pregnancy test.
There is always pieces in the menstruation blood. It's from the uterus wall since it's shedding. The old tissue must come out.
This sounds like you are experiencing irregular periods. Irregular periods are very common and they can arrive any time. Sometimes you may not have a period for several months (in severe cases) and other times it can arrive any time. You will need to see your Doctor to determine if you're experiencing irregular periods or whether this is hormone related. Please note this is advice only & should not be used in place of a doctors evaluation.
Can implantation bleeding be almost as heavy as a normal period?
In most cases implantation bleeding is not a large amount of blood, while the amount does vary from woman to woman.
My first child 15 years ago..lol..yes i did say 15 years...the "spotting" i had was sorta heavy like a period only shorter..and yes i did have some cramping......i thought i was miscarring but carried her full term. This time my husband is SURE we're pregnant..same bleeding....but NOW the blood test has come up negative at the 14dpo......so to be honest it depends on everything from the weather to ur body.
It is only a spot or two as it is caused by the fertilised egg burrowing into the wallof the uterus and the fertilised ovum is smaller than the head of a pin.
About 30% of women experience it.
It will not be heavy like your period. It will be light to medium bleeding which lasts a few hours to less than 3 days or it can be blood on tissue paper, red, brown or pink vaginal discharge or spotting of blood. According to Contraceptive Technology, implantation will occur approx. 5-6 days after ovulation.
Hi Implantation bleeding is a tiny bit of blood which can happen from 1 up2 3days. 1 in 3 women get it so its rare. mine was pink stringy blood in my discharge which just happened at 4 pm one day. Its nothing like a period some girls who have a period while pregnant call the period Implantation bleeding for some reason which confuses them they should call it a period cause it kinda is its nothing like Implantation bleeding through pregnancy if your having a period while pregnant so I'm not surprised if your confused.
Most people think its a period which is totally wrong. Hope I help and also it can be stringy or thick loads of girls are different
Implantation bleeding can be heavy like your period - that's the way it was with me. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for a year, and after another month of trying I thought my period had arrived. The only difference was that it was a couple days shorter than usual. It wasn't until the next month when I noticed constant nausea and breasts so sore that I couldn't bare to shower with my chest facing the showerhead. I took a pregnancy test BEFORE I expected what was soon to be my next period, and found out I was pregnant.
I still thought my implantation bleeding was a period, and it wasn't until my first ultrasound that I discovered I was a whole month further along than I had thought
I've had implantation bleeding with both previous pregnancy's. With my daughter - it was literally as pink princess mentioned above - a one time pale pink discharge, only seen once. The second time with my son it could have been mistaken for the beginning of a period. It started on pink and moved to a browny discharge and then a few days of bright pink bleeding - but there wasn't any clots as you would expect with a period after a few days or really strong enough to need a towel/tampon etc. I'm experience what I think is implantation bleeding with hopefully my third and it is repeating my second experience so far. It's worth mentioning with my son (2nd) child I experienced it for slightly longer than 3 days - perhaps 4 or 5. Ordinarily I have very heavy periods which last slightly over a week 8-9 days.
Had I not have been through this before - I would have suspected a normal period. With a second I do believe if you've experienced this before you can tell the difference.
I hope this is of some help to somebody.
I'm not really sure if im pregnant, but i had unprotected sex with my partner twice that night..and a week after i started feeling like shooting mild pains in my abdomen..then in the mornings i get not so bad or long sicknesses..then on the day my period usually comes wich was on feb 2,i only spotted light blood..but only once when i wiped.. then 10 after wich was yesterday..i woke up and went to the restroom and i started bleeding..bright red..not as heavy as my regular period..but sort of heavy..and im not really sure if i was just imaginating stuff cuz i was excited to get pregnant..wich i dont think so..or i am but i got a heavy implantation bleeding..i dont know....rightnow im just waiting to see how long it lasts..mine originally lasts 6 to 7 days...so i hope i am...=(
I'm kinda of in the same boat and im not sure what to do myself, i already have one child, and just now as we speak i had my period 2 or three weeks ago and than i got on the 7th a light pink discharge, than the next day brown, than on the 9th it started off as a slight flow and is still continueing, it seems like a period, cramps and all but this never happens to me, i get cramps a week before my period i dont bleed between periods, could this be implantation?
I'm a bit confused at the minute. Me and my partner have been trying for a baby for the past 5 months. I came on birth pills 5 months ago and we have regular sex. My Periods went back to pretty much regular straight away!
It is a week before my period is due, and i started bleeding yesterday, it is not enough to need a pad, but it looks like it's heavy when i wipe (sorry if too much info!). I'm confused, everyone says implantation bleeding does not look heavy and is only a few spots, i have had this for two days! Every time i wipe it looks like alot of blood, but there's nothing on the pads!
My husband and I have been of and on trying to get pregnant this year..every month i know when my period is supposed to begin, and then i hope for the best, a YES...but the last few times i have gotten my period as usual....this time I am still waiting my period should be her on Dec 13 2010. but today 12/8 i noticed some light pink blood....and i became excited because i have never seen it before, but i have read about it...i still have alot of feeling like cramps, so i hope its not my period...but it scares me because now it is more red, and its not a few spots.....
Well me and my bf had unprotected sex a few weeks ago i was expected to get pregnant and well now i feel tired all the time and i feel the need to sleep and my breast are sore but not that sore but a couple of days after that i was expecting my period and well it did not come until one night i was asleep an i got up and went to the bath room there was a light pink discharge at first den it got a little brownish after a day of that it got bright red/pinkish and heavy like my period n its said that implantation bleeding it light but i would like to know if i could still be pregnant
I think" its my period came yesterday (8th of April) but my period came early than usual and at first it was spotting pinkish and then it started goin a lil heavier like my period but normally when my period come i have 2 use 2 pads because it runs very heavy but i can use one cuz not much get on it and everytime i wipe a good bit of blood is there like my period but on the pad there is not much there compared to what usual get and the cramps are twice as much and a lil back ache.....can someone tell me what this is because i read on the internet that implantation bleeding is only pinkish or browny spotting.
Well the first question I would have for you is what have you been sick with?
If you have had a cold, flu or sinus infection, your sinuses are probably congested. You see the sinuses are linked to your ears via the Eustachian tube and when your sinuses become congested they create pressure and can also lead to a clogged ear like-sensation.
There are several treatments that you can use to decongest your sinuses;
You can order SinusWars7- it is a homeopathic remedy available online.
You can use the netipot
You can use a nasal spray (sinus decongestant)
There are also traditional over the counter medications,such as sinutab, that you can use but these often have side effects (drowziness)
you probally miss coculated about the days but im not sure about why ur period was shorter.Srry:(
I am not an MD , but have you been checked for lyme disease from a tick bite ? Have you checked itchy breast for imbeded deer tick . At least check into lyme symptoms on webmd.com . Or input your symptoms on webmd.
You can check with a home pregnancy test kit that are easily available without waiting to see the doctor. These kits are very accurate. If you are pregnant, it is not unusual to bleed a little. Sometimes this goes on to be a miscarriage and sometimes it settles down.
If your period is normally very irregular, then it may be that it's just very, very, very, very late. I have had an irregular period for years and years, and I've thought I was pregnant so many times, because sometimes it's just wouldn't come, for nearly 3 months. But the tests always came up negative, and my period always came eventually.
If you are pregnant, and it's been more than 6 weeks since conception, it should show up on a pregnancy test. Try the over-the-counter tests first, but, if possible, you should really see a doctor too, just in case the test is wrong.
You could be pregnant. Take a test to be sure.
Yes you can ovulate after day 15, especially if you have a history of irregular periods.
You could be pregnant - take a test
If you have your period then you are not pregnant.
If your knowledge of sex is this basic you shouldn't be having sex if you don't know what you are doing. Try and learn some more before you get your self into trouble!!!
If you bleed for 3 days and do 2 tests that say positive. why would you have a bleed?
implantation, its normal..
