Question "I had my last menustration on May 20th 2008 which lasted a whole 7-9 days. We have been trying to concieve for awhile, but on June 15 2008 I got some light spotting for a day and then heavy flow and cramps for the seccond day but for only a half a day and then it stopped completely on June 17th and then this past sunday I had somemore light colored bright red spotting for a day. Since then I have been getting headaches backaches, cramping, bloatedness and a bad taste in my mouth but am not due for a another period until around july 13 2008. Could I still be pregnant even tho i had a heavy flow ( we have been having regualar intercourse on my predicted ovulation days)
Answer Hi Kristin,
It is possible to have a period and still be pregnant. I would wait until you see if you get your period and then take a pregnancy test. I can't tell you over the internet so please check with your physician. You can get a free test by finding a pregnancy resource center in your area. Go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If you are not in the U.S. then go to this website http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
Please email me at Carieichel@aol.com and tell me what happens. I'll be thinking of you.
