Can I be Pregnant if I Bleed Every Month? Posted: 01-28-06 13:35pm
Hi I am 18 years old and I think I may be
pregnant. I urinate very often, I have
ugly stretch marks, I have gained a
significant amount of weight in the past 3
months, I get nausea, I have had food
cravings, I eat more than what I use to,
and my mood swings are awful, I literally
go from happy to angry in 2 seconds. But I
still have my period, but the past couple
of months it has been, lighter, shorter,
and the blood is a lite red color not its
usual dark color. I do not know if I
should take a pregnancy test or not since
I still have my period every month. Will
you please help me and let me know what to
do.
Thanks,
A very concerned woman

I don’t think that you are pregnant
because you have had a period (if you are
sure about that); you can still take a
pregnancy test to be 100% sure. I am more
inclined to believe that you have a
vaginal or urinary infection
(colpitis/urethritis) and
anxious-depressive disorder. You can
immediately follow up with your
doctor.
