Scanty periods, and in …

Scanty periods, and in the end, pregnancy

I had a week-long delay, I was already about to buy a test when in the evening my lower back started aching and brown spotting appeared. I calmed down, my periods always start like that. The next day I expected them to become as heavy as usual, but the spotting and lower back/abdominal pain continued for about five days. And that was it, nothing more happened. I was sure it was a hormonal imbalance, I'd had such scanty periods a couple of times before. But I decided to go for an ultrasound to check what health issues I had, I wasn't thinking about pregnancy at all. And in the end, the doctor almost immediately after placing the probe said: you're 6 weeks pregnant, there's even a heartbeat already! I'm in shock! Who else has experienced this, how did it affect the pregnancy later? I always think that such spotting isn't completely normal?

That happened to me too, Author :) only spotting started at five weeks and I already knew I was pregnant. In about three days, it all ended, and there was nothing until delivery.

I had the same thing at 6 weeks! I was admitted to the hospital for monitoring.

She didn't know for all 9 months?

I had spotting for the first two months, and two of my friends also experienced spotting in their first month. It's not such a rare occurrence. It didn't affect the pregnancy at all; everything is fine.

Did that woman start menopause? How can you confuse stomach pain with pregnancy?

[quote="Guest"]I had periods every month for four months. I was very surprised when I found out I was 19 weeks pregnant. And you say. I'm petite myself, 48 kg at 168 cm. I just gained about five kilos.

Did you have heavy periods? Or just spotting, like the author - Margo?

She didn't know. She thought it was stomach problems since it was aching, and when it really seized up at work, they thought it was appendicitis. But she was a large woman.

I don't remember anymore. As I said, I gained weight, my appetite returned, and I switched from a second to a third bra size. I suspected something, but thought I was overthinking it since my periods were regular, so I assumed everything was fine.

How did you find out you were pregnant? Did your periods stop?

I had the same experience. In February, my period didn't come, there was just spotting—this happened to me every spring. I was calm, thinking it would just be light bleeding and then my period would follow. I didn't feel anything unusual. Then in March, on the 6th, I scheduled an ultrasound, just like the original poster mentioned in point margo. The doctor had barely placed the probe when she said it was a 6-week pregnancy. I still can't believe it. I don't know what to do—whether to keep it or not. I'm 33, and this is my first pregnancy.

I had a 3-day delay, then my period finally came, but it wasn't like usual—it wasn't heavy. I haven't had any stress, could this be pregnancy? I took a test before my period started, and it was negative.

There was a 10-day delay. My basal temperature was 37.0 during the delay. I took tests, and they were negative. Then my period came, but it was somewhat light—my stomach didn't even hurt, only my ovaries felt a bit pulled. And it didn't last the usual 6-7 days, only 4 days. Now I'm sitting here wondering if it could be pregnancy. I'll go for an ultrasound soon to have them check—maybe it's a hormonal imbalance.

I had a 3-day delay. Then, I had light brown discharge instead of my period. One test was negative, the second had a faint second line. I have all the symptoms of pregnancy, including nausea and everything else. I had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago. What is this? PLEASE, IF ANYONE KNOWS, TELL ME.

Hello girls. Can anyone tell me if they've experienced something like this: I've gained 12 kilograms in the last 3 months (was 58 - now 70). In September, I was helping my mother-in-law dig potatoes and had terrible nausea and dizziness, and now I've noticed that my periods have become very light (they usually last 5-6 days), but in November and since September, there's almost nothing and only for 3 days. I'm kind of afraid to go to the doctor and for an ultrasound, I'm 22, married, and I'm scared because I just got lucky with a job and started officially. So that's how it is. Please respond, I'd be glad)))

I had a 22-day delay, then brown discharge, a bit of dark blood for one day with some particles, and today there's nothing, but I feel nauseous.

Do you think I'm pregnant? The test was negative, but I have nausea and my areolas have bumps.

A 3-day delay, and on the 4th day, what seems like light periods—which is completely unusual for my body, as it has always been on time and very heavy. The tests are negative. We really want a little one, and during the delay, there was hope, but now I don't know what to think.

My period started 4 days early, but without any pain and it's very light... I had spotting for 3 days. I took a test—it was negative. There are no signs of pregnancy, but my previous periods were all very painful, heavy, and lasted 7-10 days. Could such a sudden change mean pregnancy? Or can a hormonal imbalance occur so drastically in just one cycle?

Hi girls:) I have this problem - I had a delay of almost a month, went to the doctor and they said 8 weeks. Three days later, on the day my period was supposed to start, I had some discharge, but not heavy. I went to another doctor and she said there's no pregnancy. Now I really don't know what to think:( Has anyone had something similar? Help.

Hello everyone, could you please help me? Last month, my period was from the 25th to the 30th. A week after the start of this month, I began feeling unwell with nausea but no vomiting, and occasional dizziness. My period came on the 21st and ended on the 23rd, but it was very light, not like usual, and today there was dark cherry-colored spotting. What could this be?

Can you help! Instead of my period, I had brown spotting that occurred every other day. So one day it's there, and the next day nothing. On the fourth day, my lower back was aching. Could this indicate pregnancy or not? The test is negative, and I feel sluggish.

Two months ago, I had an ultrasound, and no abnormalities were detected.

Hello everyone. My husband and I were planning. It's the second month we've been trying. Now there's a delay since September 22nd. I took a test on September 27th, nothing showed, but on September 29th and October 2nd, it showed a faint second line! I don't feel pregnant. That is, there are no signs at all. No nausea, nothing has changed physically either. I think the term might be at most 2 weeks! Since we were in different countries and had sex a week before the expected period. In general, I'm waiting. Today there was a little bit of brown discharge, just a drop.

The lower abdomen is aching a bit like before a period..

There was a one-week delay, we used withdrawal as contraception, and before that, I took birth control pills for three months. Three days ago, I started spotting a little, light red, and yesterday there was just one drop. Since last night, I've been feeling nauseous and barely slept. I'm extremely tired and constantly want to sleep. I took a test after the one-week delay, and the result was negative. What could this be?

Hello everyone)

Can anyone tell me if they've experienced something like this.

I had unprotected sex, then about 5 days later started feeling unwell, and a week after the sex, there were drops of blood (around mid-cycle), nausea, vomiting in the evenings, terrible back pain, chest and shoulder blade pain (still hurts). My period was supposed to start on November 26th, but it started on the 23rd with brown spotting, then something similar to my usual period but completely painless, although before I always had abdominal pain and they came on time. I went to the gynecologist on November 20th, and everything was fine with me. Pregnancy tests are negative. Can I still hope for pregnancy?

Hello girls!! I have a real problem here, no matter how much my husband and I try to have a baby, it just doesn't work out.........I went to the hospital, but knowing our doctors... they diagnosed me with polycystic ovary syndrome just from an ultrasound, but as far as I know, that's not enough, then they diagnosed endometriosis... without even an ultrasound, just during an exam!!! They said only laparoscopy would help!!! I didn't dare to do it... and I don't have the chance to get checked in another city...... it's way too far!!! I took matters into my own hands a bit and took a course of "Borovaya Matka" (Uterus Herb), and knowing my body, you can imagine my surprise....... my period came on time, but it was very light, no pain, no symptoms...... nothing at all...... I took tests, one was positive, the second negative...... I'll wait a couple of days and take another one, but it's just so strange!!! I've been feeling a bit nauseous all this time....... and terribly tired...... what do you think??? Could this be possible?? Could a miracle actually happen)))

I'm just so confused... My period was from November 28th to December 4th... We didn't use protection all month (we're planning), around the 20th of December I had dental work (which was super stressful for me personally). Starting on the 27th, my lower back started aching... I thought my period would start on time (though usually the aching happens after it's already started), but it didn't come... On the 28th, I noticed streaks of blood on the toilet paper, so I thought, okay, it's starting... But nothing on the 29th, 30th, or 31st... What kind of New Year's is this?((( All the tests are negative!!! On January 1st, it started with brown spotting and continued like that until January 11th!!!!! It's just a nightmare—first time this has happened, sometimes a little drip, sometimes just a smear (I used panty liners). On the 9th, while it still hadn't ended, I went to the gynecologist. She examined me!!!! Took tests and said there's clearly no pregnancy!!! The results came back fine. I took Ascorutin for 5 days to stop the spotting... But here's the thing—I feel nauseous... My breasts are a bit sore... But the tests are negative. One possibility: the last time we had sex was December 20th!!! Could it be late ovulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? And that's why the tests and the doctor are wrong????

Vika, it can!!!!!! I had a similar story... and after my first course of Borovaya Matka, I got pregnant too, and it's all because Borovaya Matka relieves all inflammatory processes and dissolves all polycystic foci. Because of that, the chance of getting pregnant is much higher!

It's possible that the doctor is mistaken,))) I'm very curious to know the result, I'm experiencing the same thing now with our second pregnancy planning, the situation is identical, but the only difference is when I noticed streaks of blood, I immediately took a test and saw a second line, very faint, even my husband couldn't see it but it was there. The next day, brown spotting started and hasn't stopped yet. I bought a bunch of tests and take one every day but... all negative, now I'm wondering.

And I had it like this last month, my period was from the 10th to the 12th. The first day was normal, as usual; on the second day, it was just spotting, and by the evening of the 12th, it was completely gone. I went to the doctor, they did all the tests, and there's no pregnancy. The only thing was that the ultrasound showed my right ovary is inflamed with a cyst on it, and there's some issue in the tube between the uterus and the ovaries. Today, February 14, 2013, it started spotting in the morning, although usually, it pours like a bucket for the first two days and lasts for 4 days, maximum 5. Please advise.

Hello, could you please advise? In February, I had a delay of 3 days, then my normal period came. But the tests showed a faint second line. And even when my period came, the line was still there, but after about two weeks, it disappeared. Now it's March, and again there's a delay of two days with no signs of my period starting, except my breasts are swollen. And it seems the test is showing a faint second line again. My temperature is elevated, around 37 to 37.2 degrees. I don't know what to think. Am I pregnant since February or is it from this month? I really want a baby, but I don't have time to go to the hospital.

Girls! Please help! I don't understand what's happening to me... I've been treated for a cyst before, and the doctor also mentioned it might be polycystic ovary syndrome. I took Utrogestan, and my periods were irregular... But for the past six months, everything has been on schedule! We've been trying to conceive with my partner for almost a year, having unprotected sex, and now I'm 8 days late, the test is negative. Then there was a faint pink spotting, and the next day I thought my period had started... but it's been going on for two days now... Barely noticeable!! It's red. But in terms of volume, it wouldn't even fill a pad in a day... and it's already tapering off. Should I make an appointment for an ultrasound?

Good day! I read... I don't even know...

This spotting started for me in the evening... brown.

In the morning, there was nothing... then the same thing happened again after a day! And now there's nothing again! My period is due on June 28...

All sexual encounters were protected! What is this?!

Girls, help me out. About six months ago, I had cervical erosion cauterized. I'm 21 and haven't given birth. Generally, nothing bothered me; my periods always came two days early as expected. But this time, there was intercourse, and my boyfriend doesn't remember if he managed to pull out in time. My period was delayed by a day but came very light, almost nothing. And when I pee, sometimes dark bloody discharge comes out, but otherwise, it's not flowing. My stomach hurts terribly, with a pulling and stabbing pain. What could this be? I'm extremely worried—could it be pregnancy or because of the erosion? I've never had this before; my periods have always been very regular and normal.

I had a week's delay... then there was some spotting, I thought my period had started, but the next day there was nothing, and the day after that, there was blood but very, very little... My breasts didn't hurt as they usually do before my period, but when the blood started, they began to ache a bit... I haven't taken a test yet... I'm afraid of being disappointed that I'm not pregnant...
