Could i be pregnant?

Ok im new here and  my last  period was 5 days late.... i was supposed to get it on the 21 of February but didnt get it till the 26. Then i stared spotting before i was supposed to get my period but the spotting was light and only lasted a day. I still havent gotten my period. My boyfriend for over a year thinks its cuz i lost weight.But then i found out when my mom was pregnant she lost weight. Could i be pregnant? Or is it most likely i got to skinny and it messed with it.

Please help

make an appointment. you could very well have been pregnant and are having a miscarriage. you would need to see your ob asap to make sure all the tissue has passed so that you don't have an infection. OR there could be something else going on that's not pregnancy related that needs medical attention. so definately call your ob....today!

let me know what s/he says and if you have an appointment!!

as long as your af is normal i wouldn't worry however, like i said if it's heavier or lighter then normal see an ob. when i was pregnant i did have cramping...no bleeding but i did have cramping. so just keep an eye on things and make sure it's how it normally is. i know with the cramping when i was younger some months were horrible and others weren't so bad. just watch how much blood and clots you're passing. if all seems normal just extra miserable cramps.....then you're fine. and i know about the not knowing how to describe the cramps there were some months when it felt like my insides were being tied into knots and other months when it was a twinge here and there.

If you have your period and it is normal then you most likely aren't pregnant. And if you have extreme cramps then maybe you had a miscarriage. Or maybe you lost too much weight and the cramps are from not having your period last month. Stress can also cause u to not have your period. The cramps are from the clots and blood passing through your cervix. It makes sense that you have bad cramps because all that extra blood from last month has to pass through. Sorry for the gross details lol.

well that's good to know. is it a normal period? or extra heavy? light? if it's abnormal in anyway you may want to still make an appointment with an ob to get checked.

actually yeah geny. i've been SOOOOO stressed out the past few days and i'll want to do is eat. and i mean EAT. lol. i've been craving sweet foods. (and no i'm not pregnant. lol mirena does wonders to prevent that) stress can do horrible things. it can cause acne break outs, cravings, fatigue, migraines, mine causes cramps.

brechelle, take an hpt then hun. i recommend the digital tests. they're a bit more expensive but you don't have to worry about evaporation lines or anything of that sort. it says PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT. i didn't even finish peeing on mine when it said PREGNANT.

Thanks  for the advise! I do know its not my period because i have very heavy periods. This is very light and is about 2 weeks before my period. I have had sex within the last 2 weeks and was just wondering if anybody else experienced implantation bleeding like this or if it could be something else. I have an appointment friday. Yesterday all day i used one pad and today one pad so it is light. Sorry for the too much info,just trying to give all the facts!

it could be anything brechelle. have you contacted your ob/gyn? s/he could do an exam and figure out if you're pregnant, if it's an infection or just your period being irregular.

have you had sex lately? if so and it was 2 or more weeks ago take an hpt.

Geny - You can get homeschooled, when I was pregnant in school I told my nurse that I was under stress from the people at school being immature, because I got pregnant, and they provided a tutor free, homeschooling is usually only two hours, and it's sooo easy! Let me know how everything turns out!

Brechelle- That could be your period starting early, sometimes when my period starts (I haven't had it in 6 months because I'm pregnant, but before) it starts brown, then pink, then darker, then bright red, sometimes still brown. If it stops, then it could be an infection, many infections show themselves that way, just a brown/pink or bloody discharge, if you ARE having unprotected sex though, and it's not your period, just light pink and brown, it could be implantation bleeding, depending on the last time you had sex, wait until you miss your period then take a test just to be sure, if it's negative, I'd say it's an infection, and that still needs to be seen by a doctor. Good luck!

I doubt you're pregnant, stressing about it will also delay your period, but if you are, and there is any doubt in your mind about giving him/her up, don't do it. I got pregnant very young too, it ended in a miscarriage, but I was also 16, and I decided to keep it against my boyfriends will, and I thought he loved me, and we'd always be together, but when he left me because HE got me pregnant, I realized he was never worth it. The baby is partly his fault if you are pregnant, and he should deal with the consequences just like you would have to. Many guys are just scared to find out they'll be a dad, but they warm up to the idea after a while, and see the baby, and what it's going to be, and then finally see the baby - if he really loves you, he'll support you no matter what you decide. As for telling your mother, you may think she'll wring your neck for being young, but she'll be there for you, it might take a few days, but she'll support you, I don't know any mother that wouldn't support their daughter, young or not for a mistake they've made. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you!

it was last weekend but i worried because i have NEVER had irregular periods not even when i was 95 pounds and because when my mom was pregnant she lost so much weight. i have slightly been irritable and more moody and that also worried me... and you can always have a false negative plus i havent had a period for a month.

how long has it been since you had sex? loosing excesive amounts of weight...or gaining could cause your period to be late....or stop. if you got a negative test result you should make an appointment with an ob and have him/her give you a check up to make sure you're all right.

your periods seem to be irregular.

you took a test and its negative. i think your overthinking this baby thing. you dont even know if your prengant and it looks like your not. you still need to wait and test again...but your not getting a postive pregnancy test and your periods have bee iregular. figure out IF your pregnant first before you continue to streuss

the only thing with that is i wouldn't want to lose him you know he was my first and i was his and there is just that strong connection. But then the baby i dont think i could live with myself if i gave it up and it found out he/she was adopted that i abandoned it and have thos thoughts that i didnt want or love them and it was a mistake... :( and i always said if i ever got pregnant no matter what unless it was a danger to me i would never have an abortion...
im still a little confused/worried.... i took a hpt this morning and it was negative but i still haven't gotten my period. could it have been a false negative? ro could it be my weight loss?
god this is so confusing
