Amenorrhea :does late menstrual period indicate PREGNANCY ? Posted: 06-11-07 02:33am
i had my period april 29th 07, and had
unprotected sex all during may. i
calculated (right i hope) that i would be
gettin my period 27th may 07 but i got
light at first brown bleeding on the 21st,
then got heavier (but not enough to be a
regular period heary) and it was exactly
like the period/brown stuff you get after
you have finished your period. it went on
for about 2 weeks with some blood and then
died down and hopefuly if nopw all gone
and wont reappear.
also in my lower back, just above my
bottum in that little ditch of you back
when you stand straite i have gotten very
light cramps. i jut wanted to know what
it was, i dont have enough money as yet
for a home pregnancy test because they
cost so much in australia but i have done
an online test and it says if i were to be
pregnant i would be 6 weeks along.
any advice?

If the date of your last period was on May
29th, then the next expected period is
obviously late. Lack of a menstrual
period, or "amenorrhea", is usually due to
pregnancy... but not always. Lack of a
period is the first sign of pregnancy but
must be confirmed with a pregnancy test.
There are other conditions that can
manifest the absence or delayed period;
these conditions include a functional
ovarian cyst, hypogonadism, menopause,
etc. That's why a pregnancy test is the
only way you can find out if you are
pregnant, or not.
