My menstrual cycle was a week late. The first day of my last period was April 1st 2008, and I started yesterday. It wasn’t like a normal period, huge blood clots. Then today I woke up and I am not bleeding. Is this normal?
I am 24 years old, with one child.




A few facts first. I can’t ask my RE, I bought my clomid. I have had five chemical pregnancies with my fiance, all ending between 4-5 weeks. I started BBT charting and noticed I had a luteal phase defect. (My cycle was consistently 27-28 days, but I would O around cd20.) I researched the treatment and decided to go with clomid cd5-9, along with progesterone cream, 1/4 tsp, 2x/day. (Fem-gest)
On cd31 I took a hpt. Bfn, retook early this morning, cd 35, bfn. Then this afternoon I started bleeding, or so I thought, so I put in a soft cup. Now, 12 hours later, I removed it and there was just brown goo. I am sorry for the gross description, but that is what it was.
All the info I have found seems to point to old blood in the uterus. My question is this: Does anyone know if taking the clomid during my last period could have not allowed my menstrual cycle to clear out completely? Or is there maybe a hormonal issue due to the cream?

Please don’t give me crap about not being under the care of a physician. I am currently on state assistance for my medical insurance. STATE ASSISTANCE DOES IN FACT COVER CLOMID! However I am not going to milk the taxpayers of NH for me to have another child. I will be on my fiance’s insurance once we are married, however I don’t want to marry someone I cannot have a child with.

PrEgNaNcY………..?




Hi I’m 18 I recentli posted a question askin if I could be pregnant being tht five months ago I just gave birth to a baby girl who was premature two and a half months and is now healthy. My last period was dec 14 and the one b4 tht was on nov 13 a figured the pregnanxy regulated my periods and I been feeling dizzy and sick I have missed my period yestrday I took a hpt.. And Guess WHAT IM PREGNANT I’m excited I’m hoping this one is a boy n I cn actually expirience giving birth bcuz I heard u can giv birth vaginally even if u had a c section I gave birth at seven and a half months but I plan to fully carry this one.. I’m A MOMMY TO BE AGAIN

Period??????????




I usually have a normal period. It lasts anywhere from 5-7 days, and I have one every month. I stopped taking my birth control last month, so I had two periods. Me and my husband have had unprotected sex alot lately, we want to get pregnant, but all of the pregnancy test have showed negative. My last period was on June 24 and today is July 26. Is it still to early to tell if I am pregnant, or am I not getting my period because of the birth control? Can someone please help me?????????????




My last period started 9 days ago, it lasted 3 days which is normal for me. My husband and I were sexually active starting the 4th-7th day. Starting the 8 and 9th day I have had stomach cramps and light spotting. It isn’t quite time for my ovulation, but could it be implantation bleeding? I am going to see my doctor soon for my yearly check up and plan on discussing this with her, but just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and could provide some insight. Thanks!




I have night sweats almost every night. I’m very young. Early 20s. So i can’t be menopausal. It’s been about 2 months since my last period. I took several pregnancy tests and they were all negative. Should I see a doctor about this? What could possibly be the problem?

Postmenopausal vaginal bleeding?




A 51-year-old woman who had her last period in April 2008. had some bleeding this morning.
She isn’t spotting now. She saw the blood when she wiped after urinating.
First time it was like wiping after urinating when in the period; but the second time it was much less, and so is the third time.
I was wondering what may cause the postmenopausal bleeding… Is it serious or can it be just a hormonal disturbance?
She scheduled a doc’s appointment for tomorrow morning, but I’m very concerned and I was wondering if you can help me out a bit with your suggestions or experiences.
The woman in question is my Mom.

Thank you in advance.

I was switched to Cymbalta (from Zoloft) on November 29th. I have fibromyalgia with anxiety and possibly PMDD. My hormone levels are being checked to see if there is a correlation between my menstrual cycle and possibly perimenopause and my emotional state.

For the last several days, my anxiety has escalated dramatically, to the point of psychosis. Last night I was hyperventilating, hitting myself, pulling my hair, shaking, and digging my nails so hard into my skin that I bled. I have had instrusive thoughts and images in the past week about biting people, slamming their heads into walls, eating dog shit (myself) and giving myself paper cuts on the eye by sliding paper across it. I also have the urge to bite my tongue and I have bitten it really hard, but not to the point of doing damage.

I’m not sure if this all is because of the Cymbalta, or if it is PMDD. My last menstrual period was November 18th, so I should be due in the next couple of days. However, my last period lasted 15 days (VERY abnormal for me, it’s usually 5 days), so I think this next period may be late and not start for another week or so.

Help PLEASE? I finally got a hold of my psychiatrist yesterday but I didn’t tell her all this, just that I was having increased anxiety. She prescribed Xanax, but just one a day and they’re only .50 mg.

What the hell should I do? Oh, and I am a single mom, my parents are out of town and can’t take the kids if I end up back in the hospital. My kids’ dad can’t take the girls either, and I have no friends close enough who would be willing to take them. Plus, I feel awful that I’m losing it this close to Christmas when I should be having a happy time with my daughters. I feel an enormous amount of guilt because I feel like I’m letting my kids down.

Period?………?




From my calculations my period is due Tomorrow but when i went online to a period predictor it said Tuesday the 18th. My last period was Feb. 18 n my period is 29 days long wouldnt it being due tuesday make it 30 days long. Am i rite isnt my period due tomorrow and they might b mixed bc the month of Feb. and leap year or something?




I’ve never had any trouble with periods–like clockwork every 28 days (for the most part), outside of the times I was either pregnant or nursing. I started a weird period on the 14th of this month–it began with light cramping and spotting off and on a few days before my period actually came–did a preg. test, and it was negative. My period came on the night it was due (usually shows up first thing in the morning) and it lasted for about four days.

My last period day was around the 16th or 17th of the month and today (the 22nd) I started spotting with no cramping or any other symptoms except weepiness and emotions. (Also, my husband and I had unprotected sex several days following my period.)

Is pregnancy possible or likely? Or is it more likely that it could be a hormonal imbalance of some sort. Wouldn’t my periods be irregular if it was an imbalance??

I’m making a doc appointment tomorrow–just asking the question to pass my time. Thanks!!!




If I have a hormonal imbalance how long would it last before it when away? And does it go away on its own?

I have been experiencing larger nipples, darker areola, tiny bumps popping out around the areola.. at times it is very sensitive then most of the time it does not hurt at all…. I’m just really scared because the nipples are so large.. and the veins all over my breast are weren’t there before.. non of this was… I’m 24years old and have never experienced anything like this before.

My last period was on Jan 2nd and lasted for 2 days…. they are always 5-6days long….I did go to the hospital on the 9th and took a blood test and it came out negative! so no pregnancy… and I have been experiencing this since the 27th of Dec.
I’m so confused… please help if you can. kind answers only please! thanks!




We did use protection and now I have a slight pain in my ovaries. I don’t have any other signs of pregnancy such as sore breasts, spotting, change in appetite, fatigue, or anything else. So is this pain normal? I don’t know if I’ve missed my period because I lost my virginity 4 days after my last period. I’m terrified and I need some advice.
