Hi, Can anyone tell me whatsgoing on? Ok, The las period I had was July 25, My Doc. Tells me I should start AF on the 22nd. Well, I think I started today, I had some major cramps, With hardly any bleeding! And when I cramp that bad, I always bleed like a stuck pig! Sorry to be so crude. Before, My breasts inlarged, and my nipples got dark and huge!

The women on Ask a Nurse asked me if I could be pregnant, Can you be pregnant, and have major cramps, with some bleeding? I feel better now, I took an 800 mg of IP.

Has anyone eles been preg. And had period symptoms? Please help me if you can!

Thanks, Angela

Im not sure if this will help you any but.. when I was pregnant with my 2nd boy ( now 2yrs old ) I was 5 weeks pregnant and I woke up on the morning of my wedding bleeding very heavily and cramping something awful... Of course I started to panic and went right to the ER. They did an internal ultrasound and everything was fine. My levels were great! I had to rest just in case of course and have my levels rechecked the next day.. When I went to see my doctor that same week.. he told me that it was just a period. it is very possible to have a period when you are pregnant. Thinking back I had a period when I was pregnant with my 1st.. If I were you I would take a test just to see..just because you have a period doesn't rule out pregnancy.. and honestly I wouldn't take anymore medicine ( even though it helps ) until you know for sure that you are not pregnant.. Good luck to you I hope things turn out the way you want them.

I know I shouldn't take 800 MGs of Ideproffin, But if I don't I can't function!

It hurts so bad that I double over! It did yesterday, I'm still not bleeding as heavy as I should be! Did you bleed for days, And cramp very bad, When you were preg with your son?

Because, Like I said before, I have never cramped this bad before, Or bleed so light before! Did you think that you were preg? Thank you for your last reply it realy helped!

Thanks, Angela!

Hi there!

I cramped all last week and am pregs!

From what i have read, you should definitely NOT take ibuprofen! Tylenol is the safe thing to take and is given to pregnant ladies by doctors with no effects on the baby. Ibuprofen can be very bad!! There are some great articles on line about this, so if you think you may be pregs, probably should try tylenol instead! Especially in the first trimester when all the little bits are forming!

Good luck to you, and let us know how it goes!!

Well, I guess I should go see my Doc. tomorrow. I'm still bleeding light, And not cramping as hard as I was yesterday. I've never done this before, I've always had pretty regular periods. Except after I gave birth to my daughter, Which was 16 months ago.

I know I'm not shedding my lining, I can feel it! This is so weird! I didn't know you could be pregnant, And still have period! Did anyone eles have a period, And it only lasted for days, Or did it last another month or longer? I sure hope it won't last anylonger than 6-7 days. Anything ya'll {exuse me, Southern acscent} tell me will be very helpful to me!

Thanks, Angela
