Am I Pregnant? :: Periods Not Heavy With Cramps
Sep 18, 2013
My cycle is irregular to begin with. The last couple months it has gone from 34 days to 36 days to 35 days to 28 days to 30 days. I had my period on august second and wasn't suppose to get it until September 4th. I had sex on august 30th. I then got my period on September 1st. It lasted 5 days as normal but didn't seem as heavy to me. I have been getting dizzy, headaches, a little cramping and nauseous and very sleepy from time to time since last week. On the 13th and 14th I was spotting. Again yesterday and today I have felt sick and had a headache. I have been reading and some places say its not possible and other places say there's a chance I am pregnant. Someone please help me. Also how soon can I take a pregnancy test???

My periods are regular and I am not on birth control pills,I'm 27 years of age but have a problem with menstrual cramps and some heavy periods sometimes.I have no kids not yet and haven't tried but I am worried could this cause a problem to my fertility the heavy bleeding and cramps?and is it true that if I get to 29 or 30 without a kid I might have fibroids growing in my uterus?

I have been having peri symptoms for a couple of years. I'm 44. During those years my periods have extended to as much as 40 days until this April whereafter I skipped a month and then this month I am bleeding again but the blood is horrendously heavy with no clots. I am feeling okay as I already take floradix for iron help. ( wow, it took me over five minutes to remember the name of that and then I had to give in and google. My mind went totally blank, another symptom!)
Seeing as I am only on my second day of the horrendous bleed I haven't run to the doctor yet but will next week if it continues. I have read a lot of women talk about heavy bleeding with clots, but I don't have the clots and it's not like my normal period. Of course this happens right near a weekend. Anyone else have the same? It's quite unnerving seeing this blood and I am scared!
My other symptoms are moody swings, crazy rages, depression, anxiety, swollen glands (will get that checked for thyroid), sleeping too much to not enough sleep, no libido, dry eyes, sore boobs, backache, 'not quite on this planet' feelings, some hot flashes, palpitations in early morning, panic feelings for food, boredom, forgetfulness, avoiding everything, fear....blah...the list goes on.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I'm experiencing heavy bleeding and really painful cramps but no blood clots. I'm very afraid I may be having a miscarriage. The bleeding has been going on for 4 days now and my cramping started tonight but it's a very sharp constant cramping. Nothing like my period cramps.
There are many websites but non explain on bleeding, cramping but no blood clots... Am I or am I not having a missed miscarriage?
My doctor gave me an apt for 2 weeks from today!!! He knows about the bleeding however not the painful cramping since it started late tonight...

I've been on the shot for 2 years . Im due for another one in a few days but I don't want to take it until im sure im not pregnant. Me and my boyfriend had sex 2 weeks ago and a week ago and the day after the last time I've been feeling pregnant. This would be my second child but with my first a test couldn't tell until I was almost out of my first trimester but i knew right away that I had to be. Now it's different because I don't have a period since im on the depo. I've been having back pain, thigh cramps, migraines, tired, dizziness, and my stomach has been cramping and feeling weird. What do you think?

I had 3 miscarriages in 2014. January at 6 weeks, May at 5 weeks, and November at 8 weeks. I went to the hospital for all three and they never gave me a reason, they said i should take it up with my doctor. But i dont have insurance, its kind of hard to work when i'm sick all the time (ill get to that later) Anyway, so i never found out why the miscarriages happened. Starting in April 2014, i got really sick when my period started, the moment i start bleeding (period or spotting) i get sooo sick for days. No eating or drinking anything for at least 5 days straight, everything makes me sick, stomach pains constantly, rashes all over my skin on my face, chest, and arms. I start shaking, i have hot and cold flashes, blood pours out of me when i sit down (tmi), i feel so weak, i pee out ketones, and i just vomit constantly even with nothing on my stomach ill just dry heave all day. My white blood count gets abnormal. Its torture. Since i don't have insurance (waiting to be approved the past year) i have a low cost doctor.. She does what she can but i usually end up telling her whats wrong or atleast trying. I got tested for auto immune problems but it came back normal and diabetes came back normal. Im beginning to wonder if the miscarriages and heavy periods have caused me to be anemic?

Okay, so I was diagnosed with anemia about 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure that I've had this since I started high school, which was almost 8 years ago. 2 years ago my doc said my hemoglobin was 10.1 and told me to take iron supplements to improve it. I had to stop due to the side effects, but I recently started taking liquid iron supps. My anemia is more than likely caused by my periods, which have been extremely heavy for years, and I have to schedule an appt with the OBGYN soon. Lately, I've noticed that my periods have been getting heavier and shorter. Also, the month or 2 I've been feeling like my symptoms are getting worse. I have SOB, and I feel like I can't breathe in enough air(feels like a pressure in my chest). I also have had lightheadedness, weakness, extreme exhaustion (to the point where I sometimes have to miss school because I am too tired to get out of bed), PICA, trouble focusing, and I have been extremely pale for a few years. I thought I was just being stupid so I tried to get through this on my own for a while, but now my SOB and chest pressure won't go away and I am so exhausted that I don't know how much longer I can do this. I have a really busy schedule but I feel like my body is going to give out if I keep going on like this. I don't know what to do anymore. I didn't go back to the doc for so long because I figured my iron is probably not even going to be really low and I'm one of those people that doesn't like to go to the er unless I'm dying or in severe pain. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to improve my sx? I'm definitely going to try to go see the doc about this. It's frustrating because I feel like no one understands what I'm going through, but it seems like people on here know a lot about anemia so I thought I'd come here to ask for help.

I've already posted on here before seeing that I could ask a doctor. I plan to call my doc tomorrow for an appointment. I had a tubal after my second son last April. I didn't have a period until he was about 4-5 months old, I'm assuming because I'm nursing. But since I started having periods they've been super heavy, lasting up to 12 days and only like 24-28 days apart which is normal, but right now I'm 29 days out, moody, headaches, hungry all the time, tired all the time, thirsty, waking up with hunger pains that turn into nausea. I just want to be normal, could you tell me what this could be?

I'm 33 and have uterine fibroids for which I have been taking norethisterone to stop my heavy, prolonged periods. On the advice of my GP I took a break from the tablet, but she gave me a supply in case I desperately needed them. She told me not to take any more for a while as I wouldn't know if the mini-pill (which I was prescribed 2 months ago) was working to regulate my periods and shrink the fibroids. I have started my period now and it's been going on for over a week. I'm in pain, it's heavy and clotting and my moods are all over the place, I'm tired all of the time and I can't go out for too long for fear of flooding. It's affecting my work and my relationship as I feel unattractive and sad all of the time. When I was taking norethisterone I didn't get any of these problems.

12 months ago, I had a copper coil fitted after I was taken off my trusty contraceptive pill, due to high blood pressure. I had no pain or bleeding. First period after the fitting was fine, no change really, a few pains but that was all. On my second period, I was bleeding really heavily and was in unbelievable pain, thought I was going to black out for a week.
I went to the doctors and they had me checked over, ultrasounds etc and told me everything was fine, I just had to wait for it to calm down.
Now 12 months on, I'm still experiencing this excruciating pain, about a week after I've had my period and I'm usually in a little bit of pain the week before. I've been back to the doctors in the meantime and they've taken blood tests and swabs and said everything looks fine.
Is this normal? Does anyone else experience this?

I recently had 2 iron infusions. My iron level was previously a 6 and my B12 is super low as well. I was always tired, had a racing heart, craved popsicles and bruised super easily. The main cause is that I have extremely heavy periods.
My concern is that it has been 7 weeks since my last infusion and I am bruising more than ever. ..I brush by something and get a big bruise. I'm embarrassed to wear shorts...I'm not as tired as before and no more heart palpitations. I had an appt for a follow up last week and they did more blood work to recheck my iron and B12 levels. I should have the results monday. BUT my concern is all of these bruises...what could be going on? I've been tested for some genetic iron disorder and that was negative as well as the other disorder (I forget the name---it mainly affects those of Mediterranean descent ).

I went to see my doctor today about heavy and painful periods, and I had asked her is there anything apart from the contraceptive pill that she could give me for it. She said she recommended the Mirena Coil, I said that my sister in law has said that she got it put in and she bled for 3 months solid. I told her I'd have a think about it, and she told me to look up this website, and read all these comments and decide for myself. After reading everyone's comments, I can safely say, that I am not now or ever intending to get the Mirena Coil inserted because am wanting to reduce my flow and every1 has said that it has just made it worse.

I usually have a regular period flow but suddenly it has changed. I received my "period" about the due time it was expected to come however it started off as spotting -light bleeding for about 8hours. For the next 18 hours (including overnight) it was as if my normal period had come (medium-heavy flow). Then for the next 18 hours again it returned to very light period. Then for the next 4-5 hours it was normal flow again. However after that for the next 20 hours or so it was just quite light again. However now (4-6 hours) i am pretty sure my period has stopped/ i am experiencing extremely light spotting. I'm currently 17 and I think it may be due to stress but i'm not completely sure..
Also, basically my period has all been cut short to 2-3 days when it usually last 5 days minimum.

I have had a bit of a journey over the last 3 years, increasingly heavy periods, which are now 2 - 3 weeks long, with severe clotting (sorry tmi). I have had a laparoscopy (GA), mirena coil (twice), right ovary and tube removed due to large cysts, and I have a large fibroid. I have tried tranexamic acid which had no benefit. I am now being offered an endometrial ablation or a hysterectomy. Having read some stuff on forums, the experience of EA doesn't seem to be good. I am inclined to go straight for the hysterectomy in the sense that it gives complete closure to this whole sorry experience, and the on going post op pain with an EA seems well documented. Just wondered if anyone could offer any helpful insights?

So my boyfriend and I had sex for the first time and since it was a heated moment there wasn't protection involved. About an 1 1/2 later, I started to have pretty bad "period cramps". I usually have bad period cramps and heavy periods and my period is due very soon. What do these cramps mean? Are they just regular period cramps? (My period app says I should be getting my period today)

In this month of April I had a period that began on April 6th with semi heavy bleeding, and ended April 14th. April 29th I began a second period with heavy bleeding, and now I'm also having blood clots ranging from the size as small as a dime to as big a half dollar coin. What could be the cause of this abnormal menstrual bleeding?

3 months post UFE. Good news no pain bad news still on bulky towels. I now have to have a more detailed blood test so I can have iron tablets. Hello Docs still very heavy flow chance of iron deficient very high. I wondered if anyone else on here still had heavy periods 3 months post op UFE And if they did then did the bleeding go normal months 4 5 or 6. Cos I'm beginning to lose hope that this has worked. Don't get me wrong I'm better now than pre op but nowhere near enough.
