Question 1

i had sex on my ovulation day no condom or bc i started my period early, could i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Am I pregnant?: In early pregnancy when the fetus in implanting in the uterine lining you can get some bleeding that women often mistake as a period.  So, yes, you had sex on a fertile day and may very well be pregnant. If this period is in any way shorter or abnormal than it is time to get a test.

Question 2

i started my period a week early, could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Likely not: Unless this period that started a week early is very light and short, it is unlikely that an early period means you are pregnant.  There are many reasons to have a period be early including stress, hormones being off, infection, illness.  But if you are still concerned check a pregnancy test.

Question 3

i started my period 5 days early, could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell...: It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women.  A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result if done correctly.  One can test about 3 weeks after sex (when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after starting a "weird" period.  An Ob-Gyn doctor can evaluate any persistent or worrisome symptoms.

Question 4

my cervix is up high firm and soft i started my period 4-5 days early could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Pregnancy is always a possibility.  Home pregnancy tests become positive at about the time you'd be one week late.  Perform one then and repeat in a week it it's negative.

Question 5

had mirena (levonorgestrel) removed 3 mo ago. started period a week early, lasted only 3 days, could i be pregnant. hpt neg, should i have a blood test?

Accepted Answer

No: Pregnancy test done accurately are quite precise. Also, if your period was normal in quantity, flow and number of days then it is OK. The Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD works by changing the quality and thickness of your uterine lining. Your body is recovering from some of these hormonal changes and it is most likely normal to have a period 1 week early. Take care!

Question 6

if i started period early & had unprotected sex same day what is the likelihood of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely.: Sex during menses is generally safer than any other time during the cycle.

Question 7

vomited 2 days last week in morning. this week started period 3 days early with only dark brown "blood" lasted 3 days. never irregular. pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If you think you might be pregnant take a urine pregnancy test.

Question 8

started period 4 days early. bled for a 1.5 days and stopped. negative pregnancy test. normal period flow for start of period.

Accepted Answer

Your hormones are: in flux for some reason.  Many factors affect the normal flow of periods including age, season, weather, stress, exercise, body girth, nutrition, etc.  I would wait until the period returns and see if the next cycle brings regularity.  If not, then you can always seek the help of family physician or GYN provider to see if you can regulate your menstruation. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 9

i started period on april 30, cramping & bloating like crazy & my breasts hurt.  too early to have period or pregnant symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Take the test: If you want to know if you are pregnant, take a test. In today's world you do not need to wonder if you are pregnant or not based on symptoms. Pregnancy tests are available at any pharmacy and in minutes you will have your answer. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.

Question 10

had sex last day of period(14th of oct)and numerous times since then.started period today but very light and no cramps neg test could i be pregnant.?

Accepted Answer

Yes...see MD: The pregnancy test measures the level of beta HCG (pregnancy hormone) which increases shortly after conception. Most urine pregnancy tests turn positive within 2 weeks after conception. A blood test is most accurate. It takes several days after conception for any pregnancy test to turn positive so a negative urine pregnancy test cannot be relied upon if you had unprotected sex one day earlier.
