it depends how old you are. if you just got your period within the last year, its fairly normal. as long as it doesnt happen too often, its fine. or maybe youre getting mutiple periods in a 21-23 day cycle? thats normal also for a teen; your periods should be regulized after a year. if youre an an adult or have had your period for over a year and a half, definitely see a doc. all they can do is help. and theres nothing to be embarrassed about; if your friends/fam ask, just say you got an ear infection or something. theyll never know. ;)

You need to see your doctor.  There are many things that can cause you to be experiencing problems right now, including fibroids and cysts.\n\nHe/she will probably do some bloodwork and you will probably have an ultrasound done.\n\nGo today.

Just relax, being that you had birth control in your system it affects the start time of your period.  Don't worry just give it a little bit, and you can always contact your doctor about the matter.  Also, being that you were spotting, it shows that your body is at least trying to prepare itself to officially start.

I've never heard of it being a problem as long as you aren't becoming anemic or bleeding too much. I would set up an appointment with your gyno just to be sure if you are worried.

I had the same experiance. I started bleeding the day after I got the shot..and bled for almost 3 months. I also passed out and became severely anemic. (I was asked if I was being beaten because I would bruise so easily.) I didnt want to be around MYSELF cuz my mood swings were so bad! It is NOT normal. My Dr.  put me on birth control pills to stop the bleeding. After about a week it worked. Ask your Dr. if birth control pills would help lessen the bleeding. Its a horrible thing to go thru.

That could happen up to a week before your about to get your period. . is it coming soon? Mine just recently started to hurt about a week before i start and I'm 19. It never happened before so it's possible this could be the reason....\nIt's also possible they are growing?!?!?!

Nothing is wrong.  Just that you are tender at the moment or he was alittle rough.  It happens and is normal.  If you start to bleed like having a period, call the gyno.  If you just spot...totally normal.

Yes the pill can do this, and so can any hormone based contraceptive, I wouldn't worry too much, I recently had a Marina coil fitter and my breasts went mad, felt like I was getting reading to breastfeed, but it passed and everything is fine now, different times of the month most women's breasts get tender, I wouldn't worry too much, but just go mention it to your doctor I am sure he will tell you exactly what I have, providing you have no lumps or localized pain or are not having a discharge from your breast then you should be fine, if you have any of the things I have just mentioned then its best to get checked out.

I'm a med student so hopefully this should help you out, however please take this as an OPINION only and NOT as medical advice since I am not an MD yet. Typically, spotting can occur even when you're not trying to conceive. It can happen a few days and up to a week before your period and up to a week after your period. Have you tried a home pregnancy test? Also, consult your OB/GYN. Don't get your hopes up yet, it could be your body playing a "hoax" on you. Hope this helps and good luck!

Yes.  It is similar to childbirth.  I bled for a month after childbirth, only to get my period two weeks later.  If it is still heavy and full of clots it may be cause for concern.  I would talk to your midwife/obgyn.  At the very least it will make you feel better.  And I am terribly sorry for your loss!

it would show up because your hcg level would be readable by now.  i would say your having a really bad period sorry that sucks, but its better than the alternative.

you are not lactating... wat kind of a stupid answer is that? back to you, i donno about you but  like a week or 2 b4 my period my breast gets tender.. but when ur pregnant this also happens so it could be that,  but if not ,then u have nothing to worry about its maybe just you period.. take a pregnancy test then..

I'm not a doctor so i won't suggest a cure. I will however tell you that u should GO SEE A DOCTOR, a friend of mine was also bleeding way before her period, it turned out that she contracted Cancer.

It could be an infection caused by the blood during your period, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.  Your doctor will let you know.

I believe you're referring to the contraceptive injection? I didn't experience pain with it, but I bled nonstop for a good three months before I decided my body just wasn't going to get used to the change in hormones. I was given the pill to stop the bleeding, but it's not a long term solution. Better to change to the pill or some other contraception altogether.\n\nI'm not exactly sure why some women react like we did, but what's happening is the uterine lining is collapsing as fast as it's being built up. I've been told I have a pretty high testosterone level, which (and this is where I'm piecing things together, so don't quote me) may be why hormone-based contraceptives that don't contain oestrogen don't work so well for me.\n\nAll I can advise is switching contraceptives. As for having someone to talk to, my e-mail's open.

No, usually pain in the breasts is not cancer. I had the same problem and it just cysts. You get cysts around the time of your period. If you are worried go see your obgyn.

When there's a lot of blood in the uterus, it sometimes solidifies into clots.  There's nothing wrong with you unless you pass absolutely huge clots every hour or more or you saturate pads/tampons every hour or more; if this is the case, call your doctor.  I've been there, because my cycle has never been regular and my flow has never been light LOL.
