Common Questions and Answers about Period definition

period

Avatar f tn If you are pregnant after 11 years with no period, then be definition, yes it could happen. (If you just think you are pregnant, by all means test.
Avatar f tn Some think so yes but I don't think so. The way i believe is by definition a period is the shedding of the uterine lining. If you are pregnant and have a period which sheds you uterine lining you will also shed the egg/baby. Once you get pregnant your body releases a hormone which tells it not to shed your lining because you are pregnant.. I believe some women can bleed during pregnancy but it's not an actual period and the bleeding is from something else besides inside the uterus.
Avatar f tn When you pregnant do you only miss your first period or do you still have them every month?
Avatar f tn I hadn't had a period for 8 years and then last February, out of the blue, I hemorrhaged!!!!! Since then I had one short period. So, the year without a period apparently doesn't/didn't apply in my case which is why there is confusion.
Avatar n tn Hi, maybe someone can help me out. For almost a year everytime I have my period I get so much pain down there. The pain feels like something is gonna push out my insides, or if I'm sittin on the toilet it feells like if I push while being its all gonna come out same with #2, sounds gross .but on a scale from 1-10 I have felt pain I think its safe to say a 10, its come to the point I feel like I'm gonna pass out from the pain.
Avatar n tn that it could be the definition of "screwed" lol. Ok had my fun now why have you posted this here?? Surely there has to be a more suitable forum for this type of question..
Avatar n tn You can have bleeding in pregnancy but not a technical period. If you look up by definition the word period it is the shedding of the uterine lining and all that's in it. But the only way to know if you are pregnant is take a test but if you are having completely normal periods changes are no you arent.
1616538 tn?1304707284 Well not all positives stick around. If it shows up in the proper time frame and is a true positive---has colour---you can assume you're pregnant. This "period" you had. Was it also a true period? By definition you don't have a period while pregnant, and just bleeding doesn't make it a period. What was the flow, how long did it last, how long do your normal cycles last can also help.
Avatar f tn Some may argue you can have a period during pregnancy but by definition of a monthly period you would shed the uterine lining along with everything in and on it. I believe you can have bleeding during pregnancy but it does not come from within your uterus. Again i would honestly go get checked by the dr just to be certain.
Avatar n tn You can't have a period while pregnant--by definition. You can have bleeding though and it does happen around that time. It's only a major concern if you bleed heavy. Best of luck to you.
401095 tn?1351391770 I read a couple of posts recently and thought about this...If someone screws up and takes a few pills, or even takes pills for a few days and then quits again quickly, is that a real relapse? Or is it just a bump in the road? Is a relapse more like when u go off the deep end again and go "back to the using life" for a period of time...just wondering what the general consensus was on this?
Avatar f tn I am by definition considered infertile... although took 2 1/2 years to conceive me and my husband did. we are trying for our second with no luck until my period was late... many tests later they still say negative... yesterday i started getting this light bloody mucus on tissue when i wipe but no period... could i be pregnant even though test negative...
Avatar f tn Hi Jen, is that what it is spasticity? I have been having a similar problem and the closest I have got to a definition was a form of writers cramp - I call it workers cramp as it happens when using any sort of tool - painting, whisking etc. I did look up spasticity before but didn't understand the definition really.
1495634 tn?1291391579 Hello all, I have a Q for you. When you have a "flare up", how long does it usually last for? Just wondering because since I've been going through this for almost 4 years, my symptoms can last for a couple of months, or weeks, or even as little as a few hours. Even tough I can remember going through a period where I didn't have any symptoms for 8 months. Is this the norm? ---Just wondering.
1845665 tn?1318949368 Sure, it felt like a period, looked like a period, but I was pregnant...and my uterine lining was thick and sustaining my pregnancy. Women bleed in pregnancy for a number of reasons from SCH, infection, low hormone levels indicating a possible miscarriage, trauma to the cervix during intercourse, etc.
Avatar f tn By definition, it is not possible to have a period and be pregnant. But it is possible to have bleeding during pregnancy. My periods used to last 2-3 days. Any flow that lasts 2-7 days is considered normal. Because you just had a miscarriage, your hormone levels need to readjust themselves and it may take time for your body to regulate. The bloating and crampiness you feel could mean that you are about to ovulate.
