Congrats on being able to have a baby in spite of the Endo.  Having a baby is not a cure, as some mistakenly believe.  You need to have the disease treated effectively, particularly if you are experiencing secondary infertility, as you mentioned in response to the oral contraceptive suggestion (OCs are also not curative or even the best treatment for the disease).  I suggest seeing a true Endo specialist and perhaps even involving a Reproductive Endocrinologist if infertility persists; chances are once you get the disease effectively removed, the infertility will resolve, but if not, an RE can help you go through necessary protocols.  See www.centerforendo.com for information on effective treatment for the disease. Good luck and remember you're not alone!  www.endocenter.org

Once you're pregnant you won't have your period. At least not during the pregnancy. It's great not having to worry about when you start and stop and not bleeding on your underpanties. But then you also know at the end of the 9 months that you get a wonderful little baby. And then your period starts back up again!

How old are you?  It's very normal for your period to be irregular in the first few years...it can take up to five years to even out, though you should see a doctor if you're still irregular after two years or so.\n\nHowever, it sounds to me like you are indeed pretty regular - just not on the typical 28-day cycle.  Every person is different, and a period is considered normal as long as it happens every 40 days or less...so don't worry too much.  It's also normal for it to only last three days.\n\nIf you're really concerned, go see a doctor.  It will make you feel much better.

i had an IUD for 7 years.......i loved having it...but the thing i didn't like was that it made my periods extremely heavy and it lasted alot longer...before my IUD my period would last 2-3 days...after the IUD..it  would last for a week...cramps can be your body adjusting to the IUD....your body sense something foreign in it...so it's reacting by having cramps.......but if you have an unbearable pain....you should go to the doctor ASAP...it could be sifted or something, hence the pain...plus you are at a higher risk of TSS now because you have the IUD....i hope this helps...

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!

Some periods can go on 9 to 11 days.  It is perfectly normal.  But when was the last time you had it (IUD)checked?  That might make a difference.  But otherwise I wouldn't be alarmed.

Take a second test, stop the birth control until you know for sure..The cramps and no period is what happened when I ended up being pregnant.  Go to the DR.

It is normal to get period like cramps when you first become pregnant.  As you had the smear test 2 weeks ago if it was going to cause a problem I'm sure it would have by now.  But first of all take a test and find out.

Yes the same thing happened to me. I was spotting, and even cramping alittle. Sure enough I was pregnant.  It was exactly 2 weeks after I had my period, and I knew something was up because It wasn't time to start my period again. I was on vacation ( which was when I concieved) and it started like the next day. I learned that sometimes there is bleeding and cramping as the egg implants. So Congrats!

I had a regular period for the longest time, and I'm almost 18. They started getting irregular about a year ago. I would skip a month, have two in one month, or it would come early. If the pregnancy tests have come back negative for all of them, I wouldn't worry about being pregnant. If you continue to stress about it, that can also make your periods skip. If you go to the doctor for a test, maybe that will ease your worrying?

I was pregnant and had a period, but later they said it was just a little bleeding, not entirely uncommon.  The rest of the pregnancy when just fine, healthy baby, felt great, but he came 1 month earlier than I thought he was coming.  Nonetheless he wasn't premature.

Yes, it is possible to be pregnant and still have a period for a month or two. If she is worried, have her get a home pregnancy test.

Most likely not.  While it is possible to have you period while pregnant, it is rare.  You probably just had an irregular period.  If you are really worried take a home pregnancy test.  As long as you used protection though I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Irregular periods are just irregular periods. Are you asking if you are pregnant? Either way-SEE A DOCTOR!!!

While you might still have your period when you are pregnant, my thoughts are that maybe your period would shorten up a lot more than that if not stop completely.  Unless, if your period was really, really light then you might really be pregnant.\n\nIf your breasts are tender that could be a huge sign.  Because they will start preparing to grow and the glands will begin making breast milk for when the baby arrives.\n\nTune in to your motherly instincts.  Put your hand on your tummy and just sit and listen, if you feel like there is anything at all there that wasn't there before, then you are probably pregnant.  I knew I was pregnant when I could feel something doing flip flops in my tummy, (well that's how it felt anyway) and I was only a month along.

Go to the Doc's and ask about "Endometriosis" (I hope I spelled it right) LOL.... But it's sounds like that's what you have! Nothing horrible but basically it means you have a "tipped" uterus. I have 4 kids but it took me almost 3 yrs to get pregnant with my first one!My period's are real bad and I have cramps like you wouldn't believe too. So go to the Doc's and ask him about this! You'll be ok, I promise!! And this one website is good to www.webmd.com i love it!!!! Let me know!! Good luck!!!

well, alot of times when you first get your period, it is really irregular, it could be right on time again which would be 28-35 days, any day after the 35 would be considered late. and it could be 3 months until you start again. but the best way that you can really tell when you are going to start your period again is if you feel cramps or bloating which usually happens 1 week before you start your period but everyone is different. the best choice for you would be to keep a calendar and write down every day that you start your period and how long it lasts. and look at all the months that you had your period and you will notice a patern. so then you will be able to track your period.Good luck hun and congrats on becoming a woman!
