a question for the ladies about menstration and pregnancies?

Yes you could be pregnant but not because of the lack of bleeding. I wouldn't be alarmed, it takes our bodies a while to really adjust to the pill. The pill basically is tricking your body with hormones and it can take 3-6 months to adjust. If you miss your next menstrual cycle, take a pregnancy test. To help your body adjust quickly, take the pill at the same time every day. This will also ensure the highest effectiveness.

You probably are not.  The chances of a fetus living through a menstration cycle are very low because the corpus luteum is not alive to save the zygote. I personally wouldn't worry about it.\n\nI would worry about STDs though, because your period isn't going to stop you from getting herpes, chlamydia, HIV, etc.

Are you sure it was in your uterus?  There is an area called the cul-de-sac where fluid can accumulate, but it is outside of the uterus.  I cannot think of when I have seen fluid in a non-preg uterus, even when a women is menstruating.  I think you need to talk with your doctor to make sure you understand the findings of the ultrasound.

a women on her period??

Lots of women skip periods this way -- most of my friends have done it when they've first gotten married so they have seven uninterrupted weeks after the wedding!!  \n\nAs to your other questions -- Sometimes.  No.  Yes.  Sometimes (theoretically, how you act on birth control is how you'll be while pregnant).

First of all practice safe sex, and I personally knew a woman that got pregnant while having sex during her period.  Don't take chances, a baby deserves to have a stable home.

Your doctor gave you pills after only missing your cycle by four weeks?  Talk to him again if you can.  Most women will miss the occasional menstration due to many different reasons.  Sleep changes, climate or seasonal changes, air travel, sickness, and the lists go on, and you might not even know why you missed it.  It is generally said by doctors that it's alright to miss the occasional menstration by 8 weeks, after that, then doctors can do some testing and examinations to make sure that nothing else may be going wrong.  I'd wait it out one more month, and see if it will return to you on your own.  But make sure you try to relax, being worried will only hault the coming of your cycle.  Good luck.  :)  If you suspect pregnancy, your doctor can get you tested very easily.

Every month, one egg leaves one of the ovaries on its way to the uterus via the fallopian tubes. Meanwhile, in preparation for the egg, the uterus starts to develop a thicker lining and it’s walls become cushiony (the endometrial lining). If the egg reaches the uterus and is fertilized by a sperm cell, it attaches to this cushiony wall.\nTo start with, always remember that pregnancy and periods can never go along simultaneously. If you are indeed pregnant, technically, you cannot get your periods. Missing your period is actually the first sign of pregnancy. Bleeding in early pregnancy is a common occurrence, but this does not signal a true menstrual cycle. You must realize that the hormones that are active during pregnancy totally prevent ovulation. As we know, ovulation is the time in your cycle when the egg is released into the uterus and women experience menstrual bleeding. Since the egg in pregnant women is already fertilized, ovulation does not occur and hence no bleeding.\n\n\nEarly Pregnancy Bleeding\nHowever, it is not uncommon to find that many women do report getting what seem like regular periods during early pregnancy. The bleeding that pregnant women complain about though is not truly a menstrual period. It can be called as early pregnancy bleeding. The perception of having a menstrual period (or more than one) in early pregnancy can confuse the due date and delay some pregnant women from seeking appropriate and timely medical care. In instances where a couple is unaware that they are expecting, it can be particularly emotionally challenging to find out about the pregnancy at the same time they are told that the bleeding might signal a problem.\nIt can be hard to calculate your date of delivery when you aren't sure which period was the true last menses. A number of timing issues can help provide a ballpark estimate of when conception took place. Pay attention to these dates for help - when did you have unprotected intercourse, when did the pregnancy test turned positive (especially if there were some negative results before the positive one), and when you first noticed symptoms of pregnancy (such as breast tenderness or nausea). An ultrasound is the best technique to determine the baby's due date if you are not sure about one or more of these dates.\n\nIdentifying the due date is quite important in prenatal care, since some tests, like the triple check, are standardized by the exact number of weeks of gestation. In addition, most couples as well as their practitioner want to have some idea of when to expect the baby. Here are some explanations for what may seem like regular menstrual flow when you are pregnant.\n\nMost of the time the egg just passes right through without fertilization. Since the uterus no longer needs the extra blood and tissue which made up the walls thick, it sheds them by way of the vagina. This cycle will happen nearly every month until the ovaries stop releasing eggs, usually several decades later. (Menopause).

I can't answer that without more information, but here are some things you should consider:\n\nDo you usually have regular periods?\nWhere were you in your cycle when you had sex (was it right after the last period, halfway in between, around the time your period was supposed to come)?\nDo you usually get PMS symptoms before your period?\nIs your period late yet, and if so, how late?\n\nIf you are worried about being pregnant, you could take a home pregnancy test.  It would be better to test than to be worried about it.

How quickly do you suppose I could raise my hand in affirmation on this one?  I've had my period for over 25 years and I am completely SICK of it!!!\n\nAs for how to manage your PMS symptoms, may I suggest checking out a homeopathic remedy called "PMS Formula" by Hylands?  It really is useful for the bloating & achy/crampy feeling and it helps me with my breast tenderness.  \n\nThanks for the smile....and you have my sympathies!

If we had to listen to everything we hear we'd never eat,drink or breathe again!My philosophy is...i don't need  to have periods anymore and its a pretty safe way of avoiding motherhood again,so to be honest,i'll keep going until my doctor tells me not to!

yeah but you still didn't answer my question on weather and whether.  \ni asked you to give me a neumonic so i can remember them.  \nbut to answer you question no.  \n\ndo not remove your uterus.  get a second opinion.  if you want to gave 84 kidlets, please do not do that.  i have never used herbal stuff like that but it does not hurt to try.  give it a try first before you remove your woumb.  \n\ni am ttc and i am using fertility blend and such stuff.  so those are the only things i've tried.  and i drink herbal teas.\n\nwhy can't they remove the fibroids and not the uterus though?

I have been on Seasonalle for about a year and i usually get my period a few days into the white pills.  It's normal.  Plus the fact that your body is still adjusting to pills.  Another thing to consider is that stressing over being pregnant could keep your period from coming.  If it would put your mind at ease, take a home pregnancy test.  I bet you will have your period very soon.  :-)

Okay, I'll bite.\n\nNo, it doesn't all come out at once, and it's not a steady stream either.  It's more like spurts.  Some days are heavy, some days are not.  You usually have a heavier flow during the first few days of menstruation, then it kind of tapers off.

i got pregnant with no menstral cycle.  I completely baffled my doctors but just know it can happen.   My daughter is proof.
