period...pregnant?

winebarger · 03-22-2005, 03:26 AM

Hi girls,

Most of you know my situation... i have irregular periods, me and my re thought i was preggers (was supposed to have a test this week), i had my yearly done last thursday and started bleeding at the re and it's still here. I had all my symptoms for 15 days before my pap. The re just figured i started since i havent had one for 10 months. She did no further testing. I was in so much pain and still am, so she gave me tylenol #3 w/codine. If that doesn't do it she said she will give me lortabs? My question is... is it possible to have my af and still be preggers? My nips/breast are still so sore, i feel like i weigh a ton, belly is sticking out, either i'm bloaded or just fat

I still have nausea, loss of appatite (spelled wrong). This is tmi but i was having heavy clots and now i only get them every once in a while.. it's more like a "discharge" now in the toilet? Watery/bloody discharge ~ it's not pink. What's that? Sorry about all the info! I go to the bathroom so much, since i am home a lot now, that i don't give it time for my pad... if that makes since? I think af's are gross and i would rather go to the bathroom 500 times than wait. Does this make sense to anyone? I just don't know how to explain this? Should i go ahead and get my blood test done or just forget it? I'm not telling myself i am pregnant and i keep telling myself i am not be/c of my af, BUT i have never had an af hurt as bad as this one. Mine have always hurt bad before, but this is not even close. I usually can just take ibprofen and that will take care of it. I am going to feel SO bad if something happens that this is just "bleeding" and i am preggers, taking all of this medication. Is this a sign i'm not or is this something i should worry about? It didn't start on it's own, it started when she scraped my cervix. Along with my symptoms from before i had cramping, but not like an af. Now they just stink!!! Anyway just looking for someone who maybe has experienced something like this or has had this? All helps appreciated! Love N Hugs~ Shae

hi

i personally haven't experienced this, but i know a lot of people who have. my cousin had her af like 4 month into her pregnancy, my boyfriend's sister had hers throughout! And you definately sound like you have all the symptoms, so have a test done girl. Sounds suspect to me!

My mom got AF for three months with me. And, a miscarriage is a possibility (don't want to freak you out, sorry).

Good luck!

Hi there,

I know a few people who had the periods while pregnant. One for 7 months. I've heard of that happening sometimes or some pregnancies. Second child etc...

Yes, it is possible to have a period when you are pregnant. Take a pregnancy test and keep a detailed journal. This will help you when you have your next doctor's appt. Also, I believe that you should trust your instincts. Your body is definitely telling you something. By the way, when is your next appt? You might want to cut back OTC meds. Do not take anything with ibuprofen...just in case. Ibuprofen will eat away at the egg. Tylenol has acetaminophen (spelled correctly?) which is ok for pregnancy. Try changing your diet if pain persists...like cutting back on caffeine, sweets etc.

Keeping you in my prayers!
