How can you tell the difference between a "pregnancy period" and a normal period?

Question

I have heard that some women can still get their period while they're in their first few months ofpregnancy. How is this possible? I thought having your period was the ultimate sign that you were not pregnant. I've heard that the "pregnancy periods" are shorter and lighter. Are they always shorter and lighter? Are there any other distinctions between them and a regular period? My period was about 15 days late this time, and I had unprotected sex twice a week after I was due for my depo-provera shot. For awhile I was scared I was pregnant, but I got my period yesterday. However, hypothetically, could I still be pregnant if I am getting my period and it seems to be of the same flow (I'm a moderate bleeder, not heavy or light), maybe just a bit lighter, and it started out really light but is a tad heavier now. I have the pain and weakness that I usually get with my period. Also, my breasts feel heavier and more sore. Does this sound like a "pregnancy period" or a regular period?

Answer 1

I don't remember all of the details because it was a long time ago, but with both of my children, I got what I thought was a period in the early part of the pregnancy. I think the dates were off enough so that I thought I was pregnant then I got what I thought was a period. The way I remember, it started out like the beginning of a period, sort of spotting, then a little heavier to approach normal, then stopped, so my regular was 5 - 6 days, these were about 2 days. I don't know what the depo-provera shot is, but could that be the cause for your late period? Regardless, I hope you are happy with the outcome, and to put your mind at ease, try a home pregnancy test or see a Doctor. Best of luck!

Answer 2

I found out two weeks ago that I'm pregnant and 3 weeks after my last period I thought i was having my period...but it only lasted 2 days, I had normal lower pubic pain which went away with 2 Nurofen...but my breasts were utterly tender and sore. That was not normal for me. I was told the bleeding was due to implantation in the uterus. 2 weeks after the spotting/light period I tested positive and am now expecting in May.

I suggest you take a first response test now!! Better to know sooner than later!

Bets of luck!

I accept as true with hmp yet i think of of lovable as somebody with a toddler face and no extremely good effective properties. particularly is once you have effective properties that stand out on your face like intense cheekbones or vast eyes.
