A member asked:

Could i be pregnant, i had some pregnancy symptoms, was waiting for my period to test but 5 days be4 it was due i started to heavy bleed bright red. ?

Pregnancy: this could represent a pregnancy that is miscarrying or more likely an early period. If you are having severe pain with bleeding I would suggest getting checked for a possible ectopic pregnancy, although this would be very, very early for this to occur.
