Hi. My periods started on 12th October and till day (21st October) i have abdominal pain. I had bleeding for 3 days after which just droplets for the next two days. I’ve done my abdomen scan a week before my periods for UTI and the scan came out normal. Yesterday i met an urologist who said that my UTI is now not a major concern because of the medication i took. Is this pain normal?
Hi Sneha, the condition you are experiencing is not normal. You should visit a doctor and get yourself thoroughly checked. My best regards are with you 🙂
Okay so I have endometriosis, I’ve also had cyst before. I know what the pain feels like during my period. I started October the 12, had my period longer than normal it’s usually 3 days but it was 6. Then it stopped for 1 day then started my period back up for 2 days but, it was very light. I have been off my period for 3 days with very bad abdominal pain hurts so bad I can feel it in my leg, it’s only the right side of my body, and hurts when I try to use to restroom. Thank you.
Tabby, you should visit a doctor and get yourself checked because a doctor is the one who can give you more than an answer. Kindest regards 🙂
I had a surgical abortion on September 22nd..I had unprotected sex the following week. My emotions and hormones took over for wanting it (i know stupid)..I had sex week and a half later but I took the day after pill. I went to the abortion clinic to get my checkup, everything was normal except my pregnancy hormone levels and I have to come back a week later. I ended up getting what i’m 90% sure is my period. It was lighter, still was heavy enough to be considered a period or so i’m thinking. I know after an abortion it does cause your period to go out of wack.. I now am experiencing horrible shooting contraction like pains in my upper stomach. I can barely sleep. I don’t think implantation pains could be this intense if it is. Do you think i’m pregnant?? Or is this something else?
Hi Maryane, the condition you are experiencing is NOT normal. You should visit a doctor and get yourself checked. Regards
Hi. I usually get my period during the first week of the month. Last month, I got it September 27, almost a whole week early. It lasted a few days, nothing strange. So I figured I wouldn’t get it again this month since I already got it for this month, just one week early. I had unprotected sex Oct 6 and took a Plan B pill some hours afterwards. I didn’t expect to get my period until the first week of November but I got it Oct 12th early in the morning. It was not light not heavy. It only lasted one day, which I haven’t had anything like that happen to me. The next morning, I didn’t really have any blood from the previous night. Today in the morning I started to feel abdominal pain. It hurts bad and then it’ll calm down and so on since the morning up until now, the afternoon. I’m not sure what to take from this. I know Plan B makes your period a little irregular but any suggestions as to why my period was like that or the stomach pain?
Hi, the bleeding you experienced for one day might be the implantation bleeding and you might be pregnant now. You should take a pregnancy test for confirmation. Regards
hi, this month i have had extreme cramps and my periods have extended although its light but very painful on my abdomen. what might be the problem? am also feeling tired and fatigue.
Okay so I had unprotected sex August 23rd bit got my regular period August 27th lasted my 6days then Unprotected sex again September 6th but took the Take Action pill then on September 28th got my period lasted 6days but this time my period was heavy but in the mornings it was bright red and wasn’t heavy but at night with was dark red and heavy with tiny blood clots , I went to the urgent care Friday October 2nd and they did a pee test and came out negative. The doctor said my period was different this month because the Take Action pill and the hormones. But I Finishes my period September 30th my period was almost gone my pad didn’t have blood but when I whipped myself it did a little. Can I be pregnant? The doctor said no because I don’t have any pregnancy symptoms. But I started having cramps today, I have 3 different period apps and 2 of them say Im ovulating can that be it?
