but i started it on the 4th.
and it normally last for 7days and it only lasted for 4 or 5. but it was like
my normal period it stared out light and got heavier.
but the first day i got it it was a brownish color and i only bleed for like
and hour then it stopped and came back in the middle of the next day.
and i have been feeling kind of sick like i could get sick at anytime and the sight and smells some of some foods made it worse.
i have been wanting certain foods.
and i havent been eating a lot bc im either not hungry or
i feel like im to sick to eat.
im getting headaches a lot more now then normal.
im having crampingin my lower ab.
I normally go to bed at like 11 or 12 but here lately its been around 9 or 10.

sounds like pregnancy to me. But sometimes, you feel a few symptoms, and then your mind completely takes over, and really MAKES you believe you are pregnant. I would take a pregnancy test. Because you got your period, i wouldnt be HIGHLY concerned, BUT i had my regular, on time period for 3 months, DURING a pregnancy. So, you never know, every one is different. Id take a test though just to make sure. And if it comes up negative but you are still having concerns, make a doctor appointment.

nope
you had your period
its rare that pregnant women EVER bleed during pregnancy. so that being said
youre not pregnant
you just had a shorter period
and the "brownih" is old blood that was passing through

youre not pregnant
you camn take a test but that would be a waste of money because you had your period
so your not preggo

but you are saying it like 'nope, there is NO WAY you are pregnant' and thats not true. she could very well be pregnant. i dont think she is either, but she should still take a pregnancy test. ive had two children, and bled with both, and I know a lot of friends who bled through their entire pregnancy. Its not rare, or the doctors wouldnt just brush it off like they do.

Yes, some women can bleed during their pregnancy. Chances are that you are not pregnant but if you are worried test. There is no harm in it and it will ease your mind.

first off its IMPOSSIBLE to actually have a "period" when pregnant. it is NOT called your period. its called Decidual Bleeding.

Any bleeding during pregnancy should be considered abnormal

Actually, you can. It is VERY rare

women report having their period while pregnant, but typically this is not the case. The reason why this cannot be is that pregnancy and menstruation cannot take place at the same time, by the very definition of the two. If you were pregnant and you began menstruating you would inevitably lose the pregnancy, or have a miscarriage. While you cannot have your period and continue to be pregnant at the same time you can experience vaginal bleeding and continue to be pregnant. It is often this vaginal bleeding that women believe is their menstrual cycle when it is not.

There are many reasons, as stated above, that a woman can experience vaginal bleeding while pregnant but it is impossible to have a true period and remain pregnant at the same time. The problem is that much of the bleeding that women experience coincides with the same time that they usually see their menstrual cycle each month, so they naturally assume that it is their period. Luckily, the majority of women do not experience this type of bleeding.

Yes, bleeding does not often occur but it CAN. That is the point. Is she is worried she should test and put her mind at ease.

Suzy, many women do bleed at some point in their pregnancy. I have had friends you have very healthy pregnancies and had what appeared to be normal periods throughout. We are not saying it happens often or is normal, but it DOES happen and since her period is off she should check to be sure. Their is always a chance of pregnancy when you have unprotected sex, as you well know.

stress about thinking your pregnant can also delay your period or throw it off. and also suzy was just pointing out that yes you can bleed while pregnant but it is NOT a PERIOD and it doesn't happen often although it does happen because everyone is different
