What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

Im a 21 year old women and have been sexually active the past two months with my current boyfriend. my body has been feeling very strange of course the occasional pregnancy scare. But on friday night i happened to have a little to much to drink and when i woke up on saturday it seemed as if i have started my period. It is very very dark and heavy and chunky, little mucasy. Not to much. Plus i had had my period i would say about a week to two weeks ago. Im a lil freaked that its possible i miscarried. It has happend a couple times before, this weird period, not miscarrying, but its just getting a little scary. I would go to a doctor but at the time i have no insurance and dont want to pay thousands of dollars to hear that its just left over from my previous menstrual cycle. Please help me. -Sammie

Dear Sammie,

I do understand your confusion.

Since such irregularities in your menstrual period are repeating every now and then, the chances that you are pregnant are very poor. It seems you are having hormonal imbalance. Please get your blood examined for FSH, LH, Oestrogen, Progesterone, Prolactin (These are all reproductory hormones). In addition, get your Thyroid function test done on your blood (T3, T4, TSH). Also, ultrasonography will give a good clue for any pathology. However, I do jot feel you are having PCOD as in this condition, the menses are delayed and heavy.

There is nothing like left over from previous menstrual cycle. Uterus cannot hold some part of the bleeding inside for a week or more. I feel after these tests, you should report with the reports to the Gynaecologist for further investigations if needed and the treatment.

This picture and history you have narrated does not fit into the picture of pregnancy.

I hope, you have got relevant, important and useful information with advice.
