Question 1

normally i have tender breasts before period and they go away after period. so if i have tender breasts before decidual bleeding and if it goes away just after decidual bleeding, does this mean that bleeding was my period and not a decidual bleeding?

Accepted Answer

: Did you feel you were pregnant prior to the uterine bleeding?  I would expect decidual bleeding to be accompanied by symptoms that do not occur with bleeding that occurs during your menses. Specifically uterine cramping. However it could mimic a menstrual period as well. Your gynecologist can advise you best.

Question 2

what's the difference between a period and implantation bleeding?possible sex in oct,tender breasts before period,spot before & after,lasts 5 days?

Accepted Answer

Spotting: Implantation bleeding is much more common on the internet than in real life. It occurs rarely and exclusively in someone who is pregnant. The only way to know if someone had implantation bleeding or just irregular menstrual bleeding is to wait and see if you are pregnant. If your test is positive then this was implantation bleeding. If it is negative then it is just irregular menstrual bleeding.

Question 3

hi.what's the difference between a period and pregnancy bleeding?possible sex in oct,tender breasts before period,spot before,bleeding lasts 4-5 days?

Accepted Answer

Preg vs. not preg: Period, or menstrual bleeding, occurs because a woman did not become pregnant and her body is essentially resetting itself to try and become pregnant the following month.  Bleeding that occurs in early pregnancy is often due to the implantation of the embryo into the uterine lining and usually resolves in the first 2-3 months of pregnancy.  Hope this helps.
