Question 1

had unprotected sex 11 days ago. took pregnant test yesterday morning.. neg. today morning pink spots than brown. could i be pregnant? period late by 5day

Accepted Answer

It's Possible: Yes, it is possible. Sometimes home pregnancy tests can give false negative results. You could do one of a couple things. You could wait another 5-7 days and test again at home, or you could go to your doctor and see if you can get a blood test to see definitively if you are pregnant, although those results may be more accurate in a few days too.

Question 2

i had stop using b/c, all pregnancy symptoms, blood & hpts negative, 2 months late. what could be wrong? can i get pregnant with late period?

Accepted Answer

Late period.: Reasons for missed/late periods: low body weight, obesity, marked weight ^ or v, over-exercise, endurance athletics, breast-feeding, ^ stress, illness, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia), anovulatory cycle (no egg released), travel, hormone irregularities, drug use, meds (i.e., birth control) or medical problems. #1 reason is pregnancy.   Answer- depends on reason.

Question 3

missed my period having light spotting can i be pregnant or just period late?

Accepted Answer

Either one possible: 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 missing a period.  An ob-gyn doctor can evaluate any persistent or worrisome symptoms.

Question 4

will taking prenatal vitamins while not pregnant make your period late?

Accepted Answer

No: No it will not have any effect on the periods.

Question 5

pregnant? period 6 days late. period was watery, bright red, then turned brown. unprotected sex last day of period; ejaculated.  when should i test?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant?: Whenever there is any question about a possible pregnancy, the first thing you should do is get a pregnancy test.

Question 6

period 7 weeks late. i thought pregnant, but no hpt. saw pinkish-brown spotting, then few hours later red blood. pregnant? miscarriage? late period?

Accepted Answer

All are possible: 7 weeks is quite late especially if you're usually regular.  A miscarriage is a likely scenario, and these are very common, but it is also possible for a pregnancy to survive first-trimester bleeding.  Watchful waiting is safe unless this is heavier than or lasts longer than a normal period, but you could also have a pregnancy test performed followed by a check for viability if positive.

Question 7

i recently had an ectopic pregnancy dec 2019, i feel pregnant again (late period and my breasts extremely painful like im preg)but doc had said both my tubes were completely damaged and i was sterile. could i be having another ectopic pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Test don't guess: If you missed a period and feel you might be pregnant, let your doctor know right away. The chance of a repeat ectopic pregnancy is about 10%. The first step is to find out if you really are pregnant and where the pregnancy is located. Other signs may include pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding or spotting.

Question 8

can you still be pregnant having a late period?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Pregnancy can be present with all kinds of abnormal bleeding patterns. A pregnancy test will tell.

Question 9

had sex a few times in one night but was always protected he came once and condom was replaced but i'm scared of being pregnant,period not late?

Accepted Answer

Condoms not enough: Over the long run, condoms are about 90% effective in preventing pregnancy. Slippage, breakage, and other mistakes like you had are always a risk. If you want to reliably avoid pregnancy, you must get on the pill, other hormonal contraception, or an IUD. If you only use condoms you can expect to become pregnant one of these days. But also use condoms for STD prevention! And get HPV vaccine!

Question 10

pregnant? period is late. all i have is very light pink/brown when i wipe and last night had thick pink discharge. no other symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Take a test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.  If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.
