period symptoms during pregnancy

One of my friends experienced no bleeding during her pregnancy, and another had period-like bleeding for 3 mos. into her pregnancy. It's a case by case basis really.

During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus called the endometrium.

I personally think it is really hard to judge early pregnancy by symptoms. So many mimic other things. The pregnancy test is what is necessary. You'll have your answer once you do that. As to bleeding, some women do spot. They might also have a bleed. However, cramps and bright red blood is a little concerning. Sure it isn't your period?

I am only about 4 weeks pregnant. Two days I noticed spotting which I was told was normal. However yesterday I went to bathroom and was bleeding more like a period. I called Dr. I had lab work done and ultrasound. Since im So early ultrasound won't show anything. So now I'm waiting on another blood test tomorrow. I heard some women have period like symptoms but I'm afraid this might be a miscarriage. Has this happened with any of you?

is it possible to get a period during pregnancy have done two urine tests both neg but feel pregnant stomach pain cramping mostly at night navel pain

Some women do menstrate during pregnancy but it isnt very common at all. Usually you stop the whole 9 months and bleed again until after labor.

Can you get you period during your first month of pregnancy? I think I did but it was lighter than normal and it didn't last as long as normal..

re pregnant, but that bleeding during early pregnancy is fairly common. The difference between a period and early pregnancy bleeding is that when you have your period, your uterus is shedding the layers and unfertilized egg. Early pregnancy bleeding is more hormonal and due to the stretching of the uterus (or something to that effect). Good luck to you!

Then in August I got my period again but it was mainly spotting again with a few normal cycle days just like in July. I started getting a lot of pregnancy symptoms so this past Sunday the 6th of Sept. I took a pregnancy test that morning & it was positive!!! I stopped my cycle last week but I've still been spotting. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience this while pregnant.

I just wondered.. is it still possible to have light bleeding during pregnancy.. If I remember rightly when i was pregnant with my son 21 years ago; I didnt even realise i was pregnant for three months cos.. I still had light periods during that time. they did stop after then, and i took a test and was told I was three months pregnant.. Just wondered if that is likely to happen again, or if any other ladies have experienced this?

I am extremely regular with ovulation, menstruation and pms symptoms. I have never had pms symptoms for that long before a period and have never had such a light period since getting off birth control about 3 years ago. My periods always come on very strong and abruptly and I only spot on the last day. With this one, I couldn't wear a tampon if I wanted to... I am only using panty liners. I am have been lying in bed for two hours and have gotten up to pee 4 or 5 times.

Got it a day after I missed my period. Last month, my period was short and not a normal heavy flow. But now, I'm spotting. Nothing heavy or anything like my normal periods. Light cramping and light spotting.

During the first few weeks of pregnancy has anyone experiecnced nosebleeds? I've been reading about it but never heard of this happening before I looked it up. It doesn't seem like a common symptom. I'm only about 7 weeks and this past week I've had a few nosebleeds, I've never had them before. I'm hoping it's normal and will stop soon. Any advice???

I been having breast tenderness, nipple soreness, back aches, mild headache, hot flashes, breathing shortage, light headed, nausea, fatigue, thick white milky vaginal discharge &breast enlargement for the past few weeks. My last period was on March 6, 2012 &a week right after my period ended i started having all this symptoms.

If you really truely think you might be pregnant, and if the test is negative wait a week re-do the test and then make an appointment with your doctor. Pregnancy symptoms and PMS symtpoms and menopause symtpoms can all mimic one another.

Everything you describe can be caused by hormones. I get all those symptoms during my period.

Ok we'll I had sex on feb 8 2013 my period is late by a day was due march 1 2013 but nothing for the last I wanna say week or two I been have pregnancy symptoms I didn't take a test because I want to see if my period was gonna show.
