Question 2

i have been exclusively breastfeeding my 6 month old, no bottles no pacifiers, and not yet started on solids. i had a tubal ligation as well. lately i've been getting pms symptoms, cramps, and wildly emotional. no breast tenderness though, and no bleeding

Accepted Answer

Great job!: Good job breastfeeding, it is very good for your child.  Time to start solids.  What is your question by the way?  Not sure if you are asking something about you or the child.  The breastfeeding is probably releasing enough oxytocin that you have not started your periods yet.  If you think you might be depressed tallk to your doctor, many moms will have sad feeliings early in parenthood

Question 8

how can u tell the difference between pregnancy symptoms and pms symptoms if your having them within the week of ending your period ?

Accepted Answer

Crossover: PMS and early pregnancy may have a lot of the same symptoms, though pregnancy usually with more nausea.  Only way to know for sure is to check a pregnancy test or wait until you get your period.  Though light bleeding can be normal with pregnancy too.

Question 9

8/28 plan b. 9/6 period start, 9/9 pms/pregnancy symptoms start and gotten worse without easing. could this be from the plan b, or what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Typical with Plan B: Plan b essentially disrupts the normal menstrual cycle by blocking or delaying ovulation. That it is how it works and why it is so different than a medical abortion. Irregular bleeding after taking Plan B is not rare. Always check a pregnancy test after using Plan B and see a doctor to start a better form of birth control.

Question 10

i should be expecting my period tomorrow, however i am experiencing other pregnancy symptoms and i am not sure if they are pms. can a discharge that s?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: You do not state what the other symptoms are and why they would be confused with pms. If your period were due tomorrow, at best you would be only 1-2 weeks pregnant so i don't know what symptoms you are referring to this early in a pregnancy. Your reference to a discharge is incomplete and can't be answered at this time.
