Question 1

does early period mean pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No: There are many causes of a change in a females cycle. Our gynecologist can elaborate. If she is going through her menses its unlikely she is pregnant though there are some cases that someone has mild bleeding and its not their menses and they do get pregnant. Will defer to the gynecologist to explain details.

Question 2

pregnancy symptoms, including hives. now i had a faint negative test? what does it mean? had a watery light early period that lasted 2 days. help

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Pregnancy per se is not associated with  hives unless you have a progesterone allergy which is very uncommon. I also don't understand what  you meant by a faint negative test- either you are pregnant or you are not.  Given your symptoms, perhaps a GYN visit would be warranted.

Question 3

is an early period a sign of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

what is the difference between pregnancy spotting and early period?

Accepted Answer

Different: Pregnancy spotting is normal discharge while you remain pregnant. An early period occurs when you're not pregnant. Please discuss this with your physician if you are concerned.

Question 6

i had protected sex(condom didn't break or slip) about 4 days after a early period. what's the possibility of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Very low: The failure rate with condoms is as high as 15 to 20%. But when used properly the failure rate is much lower.  That combined with the time of your period (assuming it was your period) makes it very unlikely that you would conceive.

Question 7

what is the exact difference between spotting and an early period? if you get your period 2 weeks early is there any possibility of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Irregular periods: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections ;  hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do  a home pregnancy test .  There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Occasionally happens: Many women have occasional variation of their periods, some spotting between periods, a heavier period or lighter period, a longer or shorter period, or an early or late period. Having one of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean there is a medical problem, but a call (phone, video) to one’s primary care or Ob-Gyn doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome.

No change: If you are still having unprotected sex, then the chance of you conceiving now is not affected by having take the morning after pill 2 weeks ago.
