Help!! Irreg period, late period, light pink blood

[shy0510]

I have very irregular periods, but for the last 4-5 months they have been coming between 36-40 weeks.  I am now at 56 weeks and still no period.  About 3 days ago I started having light pink blood, so I thought my periods was here.  However I went to change the tampon later that day and there was only a small bit of light pink blood on it.  I did not put another one in.  The next morning there was some more light pink blood but very little and today there was the same.  I have not needed a tampon and it is still a light pink color.  I have had cramps really bad so I keep thinking it is coming but it is not here.  I am planning my wedding, which is in 3 days, so I thought it could be stress but I have never had my period be this light or this color.  We have been trying to get pregnant, but only by him not pulling out.  So I am not sure what is going on..  Wanted to get some advise from people that might have had this happen before and what it could be.. PLEASE HELP

Congrats of your wedding!  You should be fine.  I would just keep testing every morning.  You are under a great deal of stress.  That can cause the same symptoms that you're describing.  If you think you're going to be worried while on your honeymoon just take a couple extra's to test.  A little alcohol won't be the end of the world.  Just drink in moderation and everything should be fine.  Good luck with wedding plans!

I would say wait a couple days and retest. If you end up pregnant then dont drink and if you aren't aware that you are then its not really that big of a deal. Lots of people drink before they find out they are pregnant. I took a pregnancy test and read it in the first 30 seconds and it said negative. Went out that night and drank heavily and the next morning realized that the test then said positive. I took a couple more and they all came back positive. I'm now 18 1/2 weeks and my daughter seems to be doing fine. Congrats on your wedding!

I have been under stress for the past 6 months, planning this wedding ..LOL.   I will take another test first thing Thursday morning.   I have been told also that it will be very hard for me to get pregnant and I have never been pregnant before, so I don’t know.  I have had light pink blood for three days, but it has been very light, no tampon needed.  I do not have any at all today.  I still have bad cramps and am nauseous.. Is it to early to have those type of symptoms?   I will make sure I do not drink the water and I hope I don’t get my period on the wedding day or during the honey moon..LOL.   If I don’t have it by the time i get back and am still feeling like this I will make a doc appointment to be sure.  Thanks...

I know that when I am under serious stress my period is very wacky... hopefully you wont get your period on your wedding day like I did!!  Take a test Thursday in the am with your first morning urine... if you are positive - don't drink - if you negative you should be okay - with my previous pregnancy I did not know I was pregnant for weeks and was drinking at a birthday party...a little too much,,, (it was in the stupor that I realized I was 1 month late - took a test that was a left over of my friends from her last ..,. he was 6 years old when I took it,... it was negative ... Dr appointment the next day and I was 8 weeks) and my son is fine (dr told me I could not concieve on my own and I was on the birth control patch..soooo unexpected).... Just don't drink the water in Mexico unless it is bottled or from a hotel that is reputable.... there is bacteria in the water that our systems are not use to and can make you sick to your stomach... Congrats on your wedding and good luck!

Yes, I did mean days...sorry.  I did take a pregnant test today, but not with my first urine and it came back negative.  I am just a little worried as my wedding is on Fri and we are going to Cancun on Sat.  If I am pregnant will drinking on my honeymoon cause any problems for the baby?  Also when would other symptoms come into play?  I am nauseous and feel like I am going to throw up.  I have bad cramps and am a little dizzy also, but I would think it is to early to have those symptoms, I just want to make sure, that if I am pregnant I do not cause any harm to the baby...   Thanks

I am assuming you mean 36-40 days (not weeks)?  You should take a home pregnancy test.  Best time is early in the morning with your concentrated urine.  You could very well be pregnant.  If it's negative then repeat a few days later if you still don't have your period.  Stress can definitely change the nature and cycle of your period so that could very well be the problem.  If you're really nervous about it ask your doctor to do a blood test which will give you a definite reading of your hcg level and let you know if you're pregnant.
