    The bathroom is my new friend
    It would seem that the bathroom has become my new friend. The past two days I have been running there to relieve a full bladder every hour. I even woke up three times in the night before to do my job. Hehe. I am bloated feeling and gasy. Sometimes I feel darn right bleh! I have NO idea when to expect my period, because of my strange periods this month. What now? :rolleyes:

    I hope that your test comes back positive. I'll have my fingers crossed for you. It sounds as if you might just be pregnant. Keep us posted and let us know as soon as possible.

    spray80,
    I would definitely wait a couple days and take an hpt. If you don't get your period in a week make an appointment with your dr for a blood test. Hpt's can have false negative. I think that I'm going through the same thing you guys are. I have all the symptoms of pregnant even the more obscure metallic taste in my mouth. Just waiting for my insurance through work to kick in and then it's to the dr with me. :o I hope I am I really would like to have a third child.

    I would take a hpt. And maybe make a dr appointment. Because you have irregular periods a dr might be able to give you a more difinitive answer than an hpt. Keep us posted and let us know about your experiences. I hope that we can all learn from eachothers experiences. I hope to hear from each other soon.

    To all on this page
    Being a few days late, can mean many things, stress, depression, trying too hard, etc. But if you have a justified indication, like having unprotected intercourse during the crucial times, then it just might be possible. Also a few spots and discharge are in many cases normal.
    First and foremost - please see your doctor for reassurance.
    Second, the home pregnancy tests are not always 100 percent certain, only the tests done at the doctors are the surest. You must listen to your body and keep special history and notes of your symptoms, and if you think there is a slight possibility that you are pregnant and smoke or drink, that is the first thing to stop until you are sure. Please eighter see the doctor as soon as you can, or check the following sites that I've posted before and get a little more educated as most of the questions here can be answered by the sites, so do check them.

    Check out the following sites, they will help you through this a little more to reassure if you are.
    http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sym...gnancy/PR00102 scroll down and even get answers on flying while pregnant, exercise, dangers, etc.

    www.askdramy.com The U.K. online doctor.you can post on a forum, or 'ask the Dr. Amy' with a click. The FAQ Tab on the homepage is also a good place to click and has a lot of good subject matter. P.S. Most of the articles are printable in PDF format.

    http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/getting-pregnant.html
    http://www.babyfit.com **This one is free to join and has it's own forum. Also covers other questions you might have, diet, exercise, medication and clinical procedures. etc.
    What have you got to lose looking these things up and learning more about yourself?

    Good luck, and keep us posted. I hope your wishes all get fulfilled.

    saying you have weird periods does not help much, so please check on the links I posted and see if you follow under any of the symptoms. It would also be nice if you young ladies would tell us how old you were, as age does have a factor in the stages and development of the female reproductive system. Wish you all good luck.

    Symptoms
    I thought you already knew how old I was, as this is not my first time asking you questions. I am 21. I had my period on the 3 of this month. It lasted 8 days, then I had a four day break before beginning again, at which point it lasted about 5-6 days. Now, I am having these symptoms. I have to pee like every hour, I have headaches every day, I'm exhausted, I always seem to be hungry, and so forth. I was asking you when I should test since I do not know when to expect my next period, because of the timing of this months.

    Sorry dear, did not mean to upset you, you don't need the added stress at this point. Please do your best to see a doctor, because we are all different and you might have something serious going on that can't be diagnosed through posts on the net - it does sound like a miscarriage that you went through, but it's hard to tell this way, so see your doctor. One thing I do stress is that it's important to listen to the signs of your body and wright them down, then see the doc. I hope everything will work out,and you might be PG now again, you need reassurance and a lot less stress. Best of luck to you and please keep us posted.

    No worries
    I called my doctor about my periods this month, when I was still bleeding. They said since I had just gotten off because 4 months ago, it was still normal, she also said that there was a chance of miscarriage, and if I was worried about it I could take a test and find out. However she said most people miscarry and never even know it, and that is the way I decided to keep it. There would be nothing to do about it anyway, so I would rather not know. I was just wondering which period I should calculate my next period by, and if my symptoms sounded like its possible. No worries, not upset, just tired. Haha.

    So my guess was right, you probably miscarried. In this case you would use your last bleeding as a basis for your menstrual calendar. However, a loss is a loss, and you have to see it that way or it will haunt you, no matter how small. Also, there is risk of infection if you did not get a D and C done. Not always, but please watch if you get strange discharges from green to dark brown and odorous, and the onset of unexplained pain and fever, OK? Please keep us posted.

    Why?
    And why should I be upset about something that I had no control over? Many women have gone into depression over such things. I have a family, and I chose not to put their wellbeing and happiness at risk for something I could have done nothing about, if indeed it was a miscariiage.

    Strange bleeding!
    Hello all! I am 34 and have pretty regular periods, about 28 days on average.
    I tend to have some bleeding (brown discharge) every cycle for 1-3 days about 5 days before my actual period begins. Is this normal? My husband and I have been trying for a baby for afew months now and I am worried there may be something wrong with me.
    This month I have had the same early bleeding, but it has been very pink in colour as well as brown. Could this mean I might be pregnant? Am due period on Sunday.
    Best Wishes to all of you out there!

    If the discharge is only light pink, or clear or a little whitish, then it's OK. Whether women are pregnant or not, discharges of any other color are indications of something else to come, so just watch out for those changes and make sure your doctor knows about them. These most times are not emergencies, but yellowish, green, and brown with odors are indications of some types of infections. So let me stress again, please watch for signs of these and other things like cramping, pain when going to the bathroom, and itching - that's when you need to call and tell the doc. Check out the sites I posted on this thread and you'll be able to understand what to watch for and look forward to in good terms too. Good luck, hope everything stays fine for your, and keep us posted.

    Dear if you are only 4 days late wait a while and take a test. But remember, first and foremost, when in doubt - always see your doctor!
    Also, each pregnancy is different, no matter how many we go through.
    Check out the following site, even if you've gone through it already, there might be some helpful hints..

    http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pregnancy/PR99999

    The above is the beginning of the Mayo Clinic Pregnancy Center and takes you to many different sugjects from a healthy pregnancy, to possible complications, etc. so take some time to check it out. Wish you all the best, and please keep us posted.

    Dear, I hope you did not take this wrong, when I said a loss is a loss, but you are right, one can over-react. My two losses were both boys and 5 months along, so I guess it hit me harder and I did need a mourning period. I just meant that things like this don't vanish, and you should not just shirk it, that's all. Wish you the best of health and that your hopes become reality.

    Hello all, after posting about strange bleeding yesterday my period has started in the night! It is 2 days early and heavier/more painful than normal so am wondering if may be an early miscarriage.
    Anyway will keep trying!
    I think this website is wonderful and will definitely come back and visit in the future!
    Best of luck to you all - and congratulations Shellyb! I wish you all the happiness in the world. I do think your ex partner should know about your baby, it is better for the baby to know their father rather than not having one at all, even if things are painful for you right now. Good luck!

    Hi Karen, sorry about your news, hope things work out next time. Please do see the doctor to make certain that no residual tissues are left to possibly cause problems for you. And you are right, she should tell the potential father, after all, he does have a responsibility. Good Luck next time..
