What does this mean?

Question

As I said in a previous question, my boyfriend and I want a baby. We haven't really been trying but we sort-of have been. I just started my menstral cycle, but it only lasted 2 days. I just went to the bathroom and instead of (I don't mean to be sick) red blood, it was more of a dark brown... I'm not bleeding at all, or very heavily, but I still have that discharge. I have never been regular with my cycle sometimes when I was younger I would skip a month or two before starting it... Does this mean I can't have kids?

It's not like i'm letting anyone online diagnose me, bit**, I already have an appoinment set up, I am just curious as to what I may expect to hear from my doc.

Answer 1

I think the discharge is nothing to be to worried about. As far as the irregular cycles join the club. Have you been keeping track? There are websites that can help you chart. www.mymonthlycycles.com and www.fertilityfriend.com just to name 2. after charting for a while you may find your not as irregular as you think. Also the charting is very important as it will be helpful for your doctor to diagnose if there are any problems. And even if there are problems that still doesn't mean you can't get PG just that you may need some medical help to do it.
*Good Luck*

Your "symptoms" a re not what concern me, but rather this "wanting to have a baby with your boyfriend" It's not a moral issue for me, so much as a plain old common sense thing based on statistics. If you and your boyfriend are not ready for the commitment of marriage, I seriously question whether you are ready for the enormous responsibility of parenthood. It is also a bit of a red flag to me that you would put your question up here rather than take the much more logical and rational course of going to see a doctor. It's really troubling how many p;eople with symptoms that may or may not be serious are prepared to turn to unqualified total s trangers for a nswers, rather than to an expert in that field.. Nobody could possibly "diagnose" what's going on just from your very brief explanation.. As for your desire to have a baby with a man who apparantly does not want to make a serious commitment to you, I can only say that the s tatistics do not lie. The arrival of a baby on the scene has a way of changing t he equation when it comes to relationships. You get the hands-on responsibility of caring for that child, while the guy continues very largely to go about his same daily routines. Unless you have a really phenominal source of income, babies are a real drain on the old finances, not to mention that you yourself have to be under the care of an obstetric physician for the duration of pregnancy, and then the child needs to be followed up at intervals to ensure it is developing healthily. An endless list of baby needs have to be bought and outgoing expenses just keep o n coming. Yes, married couples face the same thing when they start a family, but with one difference. There is a much more powerful sense of obligation upon the man when he knows you've got the "papers" on him. When the whole thing is "unofficial" he is going to be a lot more likely to get a roving eye, especially when all your attention and energies are being diverted to the mothering of your child, and he gets the urge to look elsewhere one day when you are "too tired" I am reminded of some lines from an old song "When you can't be near to the one you love, you love the one that you're near. Anyway, I have two bits of good advice for you. Take the time to visit a gynaecologist just to check that all is well with your mentrual cycle, And at the same time ask yourself why it might be that your boyfriend is willing to "reproduce" with you, but not apparantly so interested to make that ultimate step of commitment to you as a sign of his genuine longterm intentions, including those of being a real live-in, fully involved dad to any children you ultimately have

Answer 3

Not necessarily. But you should consult your doctor, to rule out any problems. Some women have short periods, some have no periods for months. Others have heavy long periods or mixed. Each woman is different. I don't know how old you are, but if you are quite young, your body may not be ready for pregnancy just yet. Your doctor can give you more accurate advice with more knowledge of your medical condition and situation.

Answer 4

No it doesn't mean you cant have kids. And I might take a pregnancy test if I were you. Such a short period can be an indication of pregnancy. Get an ept test or just go to your doctor and have one done. While you're there ask the doctor everything you want to know about your cycle and pregnancy.

Answer 5

No, it does not mean that you cannot have kids. It may be harder b'c you are not regualr and you don't know when you are ovulating. Have you taken a pregnancy test to see if you were already pregnant? When I was pregnant I bled around the time I was expecting my period. The blood was dark and not red. The Dr. said that it was just old blood that my body was disposing of.

Answer 6

The dark brown stuff is blood, just the older version. There's nothing wrong with you, just means your cycle is done.
Go to the doc if you're not sure.

Answer 7

I am not sure how old you are, but cycles change as you get older and can cause changes in the blood release. Also, if you recently stopped the pill that can cause the changes as well.

Answer 8

Doctor time.
Try a free clinic in your area if you can't pay for a visit.
This important to you so you should see a doctor.
