I just had Mirena removed December 1. My husband and I had sex that night ( I could’ve been ovulating but am unsure), but considering the difficulties we went through to conceive our twin daughters, who just turned 2 in September, I didn’t think we could get pregnant again quickly. I had some bleeding after removal of the IUD, which was expected, but it stopped. Then I started what looked like the very beginning of a period on Monday, Dec. 14 (brownish stuff) and now, Wednesday, there’s a little red when I checked my panties. I’ve been feeling nauseous since Sunday afternoon, but only in the afternoon through evening. I took a pregnancy test this morning, but it came up negative. So why do I still feel so nauseous? Are my hormones playing tricks on my stomach since I don’t have my IUC anymore and my body isn’t used to it yet? I was on the pill for years before we started trying to conceive my daughters and I never felt sick during that or during fertility treatment. I’m almost 31, so I don’t think it has anything to do with menopause. I am not undergoing any fertility treatment at all right now, nor do I plan to this time around. I am so confused. Please help!

I just had my annual gynecological exam a few days ago, and I expresed a worry that I might be pregant. I take birth control and my boyfriend uses condoms, but my last period seemed a little strange. The doctor didn’t believe he needed to do a pregnancy test, but I am still worried. Is there a way he could have known by feel if I were pregnant? Should I take a test anyway, or am I being paranoid?
I’ve been on the pill for about 4 years, and I take it religiously. My period was very light, but it lasted about as long as it normally does. I was told that it’s typical for people who have been on the pill to have a light or even no period, but in my 4 years of taking it I have never experienced it.

Since I had unprotected sex on June 6th I’ve had two heavy periods (dark red blood, at least 4 days long.) About a week after the second period I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I’m taking another tomorrow. What do you think? Is there still a possibility of pregnancy? No sex since the June 6th incident. Also took Plan B One Step 24 hours after sex.

Can you get pregnant when you have menstrual cramps before period? I am 4 days late for my period. I did check pregnancy test when I missed my period it was negative. I always have irregular periods. My husband and I are trying for a baby. We had sex while I was cramping but did not get my period. Both of my ovaries were hurting just like memstrual cramping. Can I be pregnant? I am getting some symptoms of period, but still have not got my period. Please help!

i am going to a family planning clinic for a pregnancy test. im 16 and never been to one what happens when you go there what do the do in the appointment what happens.? and how much is it

If I gave birth to my daughter on August 24th and I take a pregnancy test today or tomorrow morning would it still show positive? Typically how long does it take to get all the pregnancy hormones out of your system? Im not breast feeding and havent been bleeding since my second week post partum. Thanks in advance for your answers.

I am 28 years old and have tracked my period for the past 18 periods. My average cycle has been 28 days. The first day of my last period was 4/1/11 and on 5/1/11 i had a medium sized blood clot pass. That was all! My period usually lasts 5 days. In the meantime I took 3 HPT’s and all were negative. I just this week had a blood pregnancy test that was also negative. My period would be due again today if my cycle were normal and I am experiencing a light brown discharge with some cramping. What do you think is going on? Thanks.

Im just curious for personal reasons.. I have missed my period by 12 days and I haven’t gotten a positive result. I haven’t changed my diet or exercise and I haven’t been stressing. I have been having some pregnancy symptoms, some of which rule out PMS so im about 70 % sure that I am pregnant. Could I have a hormonal imbalance? If I am pregnant then I am 5 weeks pregnant…How long did it take you to finally get a positive pregnancy test?

I’ve noticed spotting, and looked up a little on it and learned one of the reasons behind it could be the earliest sign of pregnancy. When I took my pregnancy test, it tested negative, and I’m wondering if you start spotting before a home pregnancy can test correctly.

A friend of mine has not had her period for over three months. She tests every two weeks and the pregnancy results always come back negative. However, she is concerned that she might have a tubal pregnancy, which-from what I hear-are not shown on a pregnancy test-false readings. She hasn’t any signs or anything. However, she does not have insurance and does not want to go to the doctor or hospital unless if she has too-if she has a tubal pregnancy she knows this must be taken care of immediately since this is life-threatening. I neek to know the signs so she and I can be aware of them. Is there a gradual showing of symptoms or do they come at once? Also, how long after conception do these symptoms appear?

Hello,

I wanted to hear some of your stories regarding how soon you experienced your first pregnancy symptoms. I did not experience much with my first child other than having to pee often. I actually did a pregnancy test 3 days before my AF was due because I couln’t believe how often I had gotten up to pee during the night. What about you? How soon were your symptons and what were they? I still have 1 week left before I can test for pregnancy…

Thanks for sharing!
