Do you ever feel...you know, not so fresh?
Progress! My period began today, 35 days after my D&C. It hurts. A lot.

I can't tell if it's worse than a normal period, as I'm told post-miscarriage cycles often are, or if it's just the absence of ibuprofen that's making it seem that way. Either way, the result is the same: I am an evil-tempered, foul-mouthed booby trap of a girl just waiting to explode all over some poor hapless passerby.
I hope Paul's up on his guerrilla tactics.
Even though I'm supposed to wait until the Sunday after my period begins, I started the pill today. I decided, with my extensive body of medical knowledge, that one day surely couldn't make much of a difference. (No, and don't call me Shirley or I'll tear your goddamn throat out.)
I just couldn't stand the thought of being put off by yet another week. I could tell Paul was debating whether to object he made the wise decision not to, and may live to fight another day. But I make no promises.

I missed my period last month and it still haven't come on yet. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. So can I still be pregnant or could it be something else?

But the thing is that my man and I had sex right after I got off too! It's the 3rd of next month and I should start my period. But I have no signs that my period is gonna come like usual. We kinda have sex like 4 times a day and we never use protection. but I don't know if I'm pregant or not... I hope I am though... we both do. but I don't know if I am I throw up, but its like spit and not the real thing and my back hurts most of the time and i get light headed easy. I took a test but it came up negative. Did I do it wrong??? I need advice. HELP!!!

Posted by: ERIKA at Aug 22, 2006 6:13:56 PM
ok............ my boyfriend is in the army. the last time we had sex was in April, and then he left for training. I've always had irregular periods. when he left I didn't get my period until mid June. It was normal, it lasted about 4 days. It's been 2 months since my last period. I haven't had sex since he left. Could I be pregnant? Even though I got my period in mid June????? Because I read that you can't be pregnant and have a period because of some hormone that the body produces when you're pregnant.

Posted by: Quita at Aug 26, 2006 8:37:27 PM
I'm 15. Me and my boyfriend haven't actually had sex, but we came close. I'm worried that i might be pregnant only because i haven't been that close before and don't really know if a guy can feel if he's about to precum. If he didn't know and he did precum what are my chances of being pregnant? He wasn't in me though. I haven't had my period this month, but it only happened a few weeks ago. I have irregular periods too, like 2 months ago i started having my periods like the first week of every month, but i just don't know and i probably worrie too much, but someone has to in this relationship.

Posted by: sharika at Sep 6, 2006 6:40:45 PM
It is now Sept 7th 2006, and I'm expecting my period in about 3 days. Ususally I start to get PMS symptoms about a week before my period starts and my breasts start to gradually get tender. This time, however, I have no symptoms and my breasts are not sore at all. In addition, I have been getting this thick clear discharge and I have been very fatigued and I want to eat all the time. My back is always sore and I get headaches very easily. I know it's too early to take a pregnancy test, but is it possible that I could be pregnant???

I came on my period 1 day late in July and 10 days late in august. my period was very heavy and it only lasted like 4 days. my stomach is hurting a lot and my lower back is starting to hurt. i took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. what should i do because i don't think i should be pregnant. i've been having a lot of really bad headaches and i've been sleeping alot lately. i hope i'm not pregnant.
Posted by: denisha at Sep 7, 2006 10:25:11 PM
My doctor put me on the pill that makes you have a period every three months. He told me that I would have a little spotting, but i have actually had my period, except its brown, and its been more than a week. Is there any way that I am pregnant?
