Abnormal Periods Posted: 04-24-07 11:08am
I have a question regarding my periods. I
had been having abnormal periods for about
9 months. It had become longer in the
amount of time it would start and finish
but there would be days in between where
there would be nothing. the flow was
lighter and sometimes i would have more
cramping than before. I was having
unprotected sex during this time. Then 3
months ago I stopped having sex and my
periods were normal again until this
month, and i know I had sex during
ovulation. I am wondering if i could have
been getting pregnant but the embryo is
not able to implant?

Welcome to ehealth!
I agree, it could be possible. But you
will never know for sure.
Are you trying to conceive?

Is your period late? When was your lmp?
Any time you have unprotected sex there is
a possibility of becoming pregnant. It is
much more difficult to tell when you are
ovulating when you are irregular. So you
may be pregnant.

my lmp that was regular was on march 26th.
I did have some light bleeding on April 22
that stopped the same day. I thought I
would have my period on April 27. I have
taken 2 test and both have been neg. I
have an appt. with ob-gyn but could not
get in until may 9th. Again, thanks.

I used to have abnormal periods about 4 or
5 years ago and I never really thought
much of it. I went to see the doctor
about it because I also had severe cramps
and some pain not during my period. I
wasn't sexually active at the time but
they put me on birth control pills to
regulate my cycle and it seemed to help
after a while. Then a month and a half
ago, they found a huge ovarian cyst in my
abdomen that they said was probably there
for 5 years or more and looking back, was
probably the source of my problem. My
doctor never checked into the possibility
and it wasn't discovered until I had my 20
week ultrasound and it had to be removed
during pregnancy. Of course, I'm not
saying that that is the cause of your
irregular period, but I think it's awesome
that you are seeing a gynecologist because
you just never know. People can give
every opinion in the world on here but
only a doctor can diagnose what's causing
the problem for sure. And even then, you
sometimes have to ask a lot of questions
and urge them to be thorough and not just
dismiss you with some pills. Good luck to
you with your appointment. Make a note of
all your symptoms and ask a lot of
questions. It could be nothing at all
serious but you'll feel better if you make
sure.

The strangest thing is just that while i
was not having sex my periods were normal.
I have been worried for awhile that i will
not be able to have anymore children.
These are the reasons i am obsessing over
this, i guess.
