    I Need To Know!
    Hello all! I am 20 and have been married 1 year. I do not have a period at all unless I am taking my birth control. I got off that in July to start a family with my husband, so I have not have a period since July or August. When I do have a period it is ALWAYS very heavy and it last for 5-8 days, and I always have really bad cramps right before. For the last four days there has been very light red or brownish spotting at the same time every day. This has never happened before and I want to think it's because we are expecting, but I don't know if maybe there is something wrong with me. Can someone help me out.

    To make it simple, you really should see a doctor and find out if you have a need for extra hormone treatment or you might have very narrow or clogged tubes. Maybe you were even a premature birth, and your reproductive organs did not develop fully. Anything is possible, and that's why it's best to consult a physician you trust and write down your family's medical history, and medications you take, all that will help him/her make a more accurate assessment of your situation. With the modern technology today, there is help for you, I'm sure, so don't give up. It might even be as simple as having to take an aspirin a day to thin your blood during this time to lighten the pain. And if you might be pregnant, they usually don't hurt the baby, but again, see your doctor for reassurance. Good Luck. Am enclosing a PDF document for you to read about the absence of menstruation too. See the attachment...

    Good, see your doctor. As I stated earlier, there is so much new technology today to help, and if the first doctor wants to 'cut' get a second opinion to make sure. I've got my fingers crossed!

    I am so sorry to hear your news but keep your head up. I have been trying 4ever and when I didn't think it possible it happen . Don't give up hope it will happen .
    P.s I took everyone's advice and told the father today. He wasn't too happy but he will be there for me . All this time when we were trying he was only doing it for me ,Because he felt sorry for me. He apparently has a new woman in his life. That's o.k. As I originally said I wanted a child for me and that's all there is to that. Thanks everyone you are truly a blessing for me. :cool:

    Thanks! I will be going to the Dr. on Monday! I have PCOS, so I know there should be some trouble getting pregnant. But I was hoping that because I'm spotting for the first time ever, it might be a sign that we are going to have a baby. I don't know when I ovulate, but I know that the spotting started about a week or so after the last time my husband and I had sex. From all that I've read on the net. That IS a sign of pregnancy! I really hope so! Thanks again to all!

    Everyone
    Things look like they are looking up for most of us. I hope that this trend continues. For those of you that have gotten what you wished for in that little miracle congrats. If you haven't yet, well practice makes perfect... and at least have fun trying. Remember making love isn't sapposed to be clinical. If you don't allow yourself the pleasure that goes along with it then how will you know the pleasure of being pregnant? Relax and let nature take it's course. I had to learn the hard way and still don't know yet... lol... ttyl

    I sure hope so for you. Having PCOS (which you did not mention before) is not the end of the world and modern technology still continues as we write, so my fingers will stay crossed! Again, good luck!

    I went to the Dr. today, and he said that the reason for my spotting is most likely because I am pregnant! I am so excited! I can't wait until tomorrow when he calls with the results! Thanks all! Keep praying, I'm not clear yet!

    Re:
    I Had The Same Problem. When I Started My Period It Was Really Light At First Then It Got Heavier And Then Light Again N Then Stopped. The Next Month I Had Light Brown Blood (which I Guess Wasn't Considered A Period Because There Was No Red Or Pink Blood). Also If U Take A Home Pregnancy Test And It Comes Out Negative I Would Consider Just Going To Your Doctor And Getting A Blood Test Because I Took 2 Home Pregnancy Tests And They Both Came Out Negative But Then I Took A Blood Test And It Showed Up That I Was Already 2 N A Half Months Pregnant! So Good Luck! :d

    I still haven't started, 9 days late now, a tad more spotting yesterday & some cramping. I wish I just knew one way or the other. Five HPT so far and all negative, but it took forever for one to show up with my daughter. Just getting real impatient, I want to be pregnant. :(

PLEASE HELP.-

    Dear, check some of the links that I posted to others on this thread, they might help reassure you. A little spotting and cramping is not unusual in the first trimester, and even if you've been pregnant before, you can be certain that not every pregnancy is the same, and those home pregnancy tests are not 100 percent sure, so don't stress yourself. I wish you a lot of luck and please don't forget to make an appointment with your doctor, and keep us posted. OK?

    Dear, if he's not in another town, you still might have a chance to include him in the life of you and the baby, by asking him to maybe participate in the exercises and labor classes in the future, unless you broke in total anger. If you broke in total anger, then, I'm sure you'll find a friend to help you fill the emptiness that you should share with someone at a time like this. A well balanced emotional mother is better for the baby than a sad and stressed one, even if it's just with friends. So think about it, you'll need support no matter what, and in my opinion, you deserve it. Again, good luck, and stay on to keep us posted and also use us as sounding board, it's healthier for you.
