Regular menstruation during pregnancy...

Not sure whether there is still anyone reading this topic or replying here but...Today would be (I would say "is" but it doesn't seem that accurate) the 3rd day of my period. However, I'm experiencing pelvic pains since Feb 26th, that was the 11th day of my previous period. These pains have gotten worse and worse towards the menstruation date so I visited my gynec. Ultrasound apparently showed a 3.5 cm cist on my left ovary and the Doc recommended antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for at least 5 days, the end of which treatment is today. Menstruation appeared on Sunday morning but surprise....whereas it usually lasts for 5 days at the least, yesterday afternoon it had significantly diminished in flow, going to practically zero today (just when going to the restroom I see some traces, otherwise not). However, though the pains in my lower abdomen had somewhat diminished and floating too, today they kicked back in. So a 2 days menstruation.

Other things:
- unexplainable and unprecedented hunger ( I feel hungry every 3 hours, as opposed to my usually very low appetite, about 8 hrs interval between meals);
- increase in weight and waist size;
- increase of breast volume, without other evident symptoms;
- some nausea during the past threed days, which I have associated with the antibiotics I am taking.

Other than that...some mood swings that could also pe attributed to PMS or the change of season...

It is too early, I think, to take a pregnancy test...however: what could it be??? If just that I have an ovaries inflammation, the pains should;ve ceased or significantly reduced after 5 days of treatment. If it;s something else...could it be a pregnancy????

I would greatly appreciating some feedback on the above.

i'm ecstatic reading all this posts, cos i've been losing my mind over all the negative preg test results both urine and blood test. i actually took a leap of faith by opening an ante natal clinic card. i ve all the symptoms, occasional nausea, tender nipples, bulge around my abdomen.....the last blood test i took i was told to come back for confirmation in 2 weeks time, they were not so sure of the result. wats that? then my period started yesterday, at first it was like spotting, then heavy flow with cramps, but today the flow is slow with less cramps. i'm very confused. pls advice me.

So happy I found this forum :-) Lately I have been feeling tired, and nauseous around food or even thinking of certain foods to the point of hovering over the toilet but not vomiting. My breast have been tender and I've been craving ranch and it changes :-P My lower abdomen has been sensitive and a couple weeks ago my side was hurting me. Also when I have to pee it comes all of the sudden and I have to hold myself and run to the toilet sometimes even tinkling a bit in my panties before I get there. I haven't been on birth control pills for about 4 or 5 months. And we do use condoms but sometimes we go without for a little bit before putting one on. I was really thinking I was pregnant because I haven't had a period this month and it's the last week of the month. so I was going to go buy a test friday (payday haha) to take and this morning I woke up cramping and I started my period. I don't know if I should still get a test or just forget about it. Advice please!

Oh goodness this forum just put me in much more confusion. I am 17 tears old, and I did have unprotected sex during the week of my ovulation, I know, dumb idea...but it happened. After, I got my "period" 3 days before I should have gotten it, however I did have cramps yet the blood was dark red and brown-ish. I then started craving foods that I never ate. And the thought of sweets makes me puke. I used to be a "candy" girl, now I'm all into "Real Foods" Anyway, I gained 6 pounds within 3 weeks and my sense of smell which is usually terrible has become great. Also I am very emotional. My little sister asked me if I was pregnant, I was shocked. So as a joke I bought a pregnancy test, it came back negative. But then I took 4 more, since the symptoms became more and more and I started being gassy and seeing blue veins. All four came back VERY slight positives. I'm talking about, visible blue lines but only if you look really closely and hold it a certain way. So, I dismissed it but just in case I stopped drinking much soda, don't surround myself with smokers and don't do anything dangerous anymore. My boobs have grown a size(no pain, but white little spots), and my stomach is tightening just a bit. Like I said I'm 17 and have no way to go to a doctor, plus I am not sure since 4 days ago, I started my "period" the cramps were horrendous, but they always are when I have my period. The bleeding was first like spotting and brown, then it  became bright red and heavier (not heavy enough to fill a pad) then it went to pink spotting and now it's back to average bleeding but very dark red. I would be 9 weeks tomorrow, which means this current bleeding came right around my "period time". I feel dumb, because usually I wouldn't worry about it, but I can tell something is different. My female instinct is telling me that I might be pregnant! Also, the twin posts scared me, because I am a triplet so my chances of multiples is larger...So my question would be, did any of you ladies end up being pregnant? Or do you know anyone who has had similarities to my symptoms, but still ended up pregnant?
Thank you!

Hi, this is really interesting topic. I'm feeling a little wired right now, because of this page. I have all the symptoms of pregnancy too, I feel really heavy in my stomach for the last 2 months, I gain abut 6 pounds and my breast is enlarged. Everybody is thinking as Im about 3-4 months pregnant, but I have had regular menstruation. The last month I had a delay of 8 days so I did the urine test, it was negative so I dont understand what is happening to me. The 9th day after delay I have menstruating again. It is a little light but still menstruation. Now I dont know, is this possible to be pregnant and still have the period?

what we happen to the woman.

Hi everyone. 

Thank you so much for startin this discussion cuz i thot i was the only 1.... n i am sio glad i found this page

This happen to me with my second daughter, stopped smoking nov.11....took preg test all thru the month, came back negative. Dec 5th went to the dr. and took urine and blood, came back negative too...I had a crazy amount of nausea and on Jan 2nd made my husband take me to the ER, damn sure was pregnant about 3months with a PID (thats where the pain came from). So, it is possible for even a blood test to come back negative, rare but possible.

So, please tell me wat happen to hpu, wer u pregnant after all. I got my tubalagation when I was 28, n right now o havo.g lots pf pregnancy so

Susu

it is possible coz i had a 2 1/2 days of reg period but the sign and synthoms are same in the preganant woman

This site has helped me some, [even though there are no answers really]. It's just better some how to know I'm not the only one going through this sort of stuff. I have not missed a single period, though I feel strange movements in my lower abdomen and have all signs of pregnancy. If I am [which I'm really thinking I am] I would be either 16 or 17 weeks. I had 2 negative pregnacy tests earlier, at 6 or 7 and 8 or 9 weeks.

I have been told my aunt had her periods through out her entier pregnacy, with all three of her son's. Just wondering if it could be a family thing, maybe???

-Kinda Scared

hi.. I feel the same.
