period

Avatar f tn Yes for sure you can ! I still had a period or two after I found out .
Avatar f tn After that i had three regular periods even on the same day of every month. They were with lots of bleeding cramps and pain which can be considered heavy. In the mean time i had one scan, vaginal examination and two tests (one pap smear) in gyno because she suspected that i have something going wrong. What i want to ask is that since i had no test for pregnancy can i be pregnant in this situation? I heard that some women can have periods in early months of pregnancy.
631676 tn?1333718203 Pretty sure I had two periods in June; 3 weeks apart. Missed period in July and now 1/2 into August nothing. I guess I thought it would gradually get shorter/get irregular not disappear all at once. Can't see gyno until Sept 15. Is that it - or will it come back? Primary doc said blood work was not definitive since my cycle date was not pinpointed. Thanks!
Avatar n tn Like another comment said, birth control can help with long or heavy periods. It has been prescribed by many doctors for those specific reasons.
Avatar n tn my prom is tomorrow and my periods are really heavy is there anything i can do to slow it down.
Avatar f tn I had a miscarriage back in April. (Chemical Pregnancy) I got a period on 5/12 and again on 6/6/09. My periods are not heavy and they only last about 2 to 3 days. My period has ended but I still feel bloated/crampy feeling you get right before your period.
Avatar n tn I've had a couple of episodes lately when I drink heavily. I often drink pretty heavy once a week, usually on a Friday. About a month ago, I had an episode where, according to a friend, I zoned out and started making faces. He said it was like I lost my mind. It only lasted a couple of minutes.
1416390 tn?1333901604 I had a c section 20 mos ago. since then my periods have been really heavy and there is always a day I seem to gush blood. Well- my period came a week early this month and last night I seemed to have passed a lot of blood- that seemed really red. Now that I am up it does not seem to be flowing so strong. I don't have any pain- slight cramping. I am not sure whether I should go to the ER or not- hate to go if it is just my period! Just seems odd there was so, so much.
Avatar f tn dont sweat it, mine did the same thing. did you recently start having periods? because almost everybody is irregular when you first start. its normal. if you notice that after a while its still not right then you should seek a doctors advice.
12205224 tn?1424027156 I am 53 years old. I have always had heavy periods, but lately my periods have lasted a long time, sometimes two weeks or more, and they become very heavy with lots of clotting. I have to wear two super plus tampons at a time and a pantiliner because they always leak. I hate it! What should I do? What can be done to make this more tolerable or stop altogether?
Avatar f tn I am 41 and have had very heavy periods for many years. I can go though a super tampon and a pad in an hour. I told my Dr an she wasn't concerned but I think it's making me very tired. Should I be worried?
5633047 tn?1371909510 ) periods can happen during pregnancy , as well as woman not noticing the signs that they were pregnant the whole time . But if the blood is red and semi on the heavy side it needs to be mentioned and looked at by a doctor hun .
Avatar f tn Im 19 and have always had pretty regular periods... its usually moderately heavy the first 2 days and then starts to get lighter till the 5th day. i usually have cramps on the first 2 days that are manageable with a couple tylenol.
Avatar n tn Your doctor is wrong. By definition you are NOT postmenopausal if you are having periods. Menopause is defined as going more than one year without a period, it is not defined by hormone levels. At 39, it is unlikely that you would be postmenopausal anyway--average age is 51. Also, unless you want a baby, I would use some sort of protection. Just today, I heard a story similar to yours--she went off pills thinking she was "OK" and got pregnant.
1845665 tn?1318949368 no. i always have brown periods...mine only usually last 3 days. only the first half day is it red..the rest its brown. sometimes only a day or 2 of just brown.
Avatar f tn i feel my breasts have become heavy from past few days and i feel uncomfortable because of the pain....is it a symptom of pregnancy??
Avatar f tn Monday the 6th I started what I would say was a very light dark brown period, buy Tuesday it was gone, and was only visable when I wiped which ended Thursday, my periods normally last 5 days and heavy and not Dark brown( can only describe as a pooh like colour), im also 4/5 days early which is another mad one, ok I know it cannot be IB but I just wanted to no if any as had this happen to them.
Avatar f tn I'm not concerned I'm pregnant I js couldn't find the right subject! My periods are ALWAYS the same I always bleed for around 4-5 days it starts heavy for one then goes light and I do get pains but only the first few days, and my blood is always a browny colour sum times read and I do get blood clots. This one has been very different I I have now Been on for 3 days it's still very heavy and it's bright red and I have really bad pains through the day is this a concern?
Avatar n tn Hi there. The above information is a bit inaccurate. It is not abnormal to have heavy periods especially on the first day of your period in which you change your pad every two hours. That is completely normal. check with your doctor for reassurance.
Avatar n tn My periods are so heavy and they keep putting me on the pill
4113835 tn?1349916535 hello i've been on my period for 3 weeks and its very heavy and lots of clots. I have pcos diagnosed 4 years ago but my periods have been regural for a year now and they usually last from 3 to 7 days. this is unusual. what should i do?
Avatar f tn Hi guys. I'm 42 years young and have always had short periods. Thiz time, I am on day 7 of heavy bleeding_ gushes in the toilet when I pee, and smelling strange esp today. No fever, or cramps. A lot of bloating and gas. I had a baby 10 weeks ago, is it possible my body is going through changes from the birth still? I have an overall healthy record, no diseases, or infections....although this could be one, have to go to dr. Soon ...
