Q: Abnormal Menstrual Cessation, Possible Indicators, and Follo
asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 16th, 2006
What does it mean when your period stops and starts in the middle of a cycle.

My period started on Thursday afternoon, by Saturday afternoon it was over but then started again Sunday afternoon and by the evening of Sunday it was gone again and its still gone as of now Monday morning!

Could I be pregnant even though I still got my period or could I have miscarried???

Abnormal menstruation is a sign of hormonal imbalance or possible miscarriage. You can solve this mystery only by performing a pregnancy test. If you are pregnant, the vaginal bleeding was probably a sign of miscarriage. If you are not pregnant, vaginal bleeding is most likely your period (untypical, but still a period). I could give you more precise information if you gave me the date of your last NORMAL menstruation (before this bleeding). Further, you can consult a gynecologist to discuss the latest irregular period and your menstrual history.
