Those symptoms sound like they could be either pregancy or thryoid problems. The pregancy one is easy to check with a home pregnancy kit from your local pharmacy. Otherwise you will have to break down and go see a MD...

An abbrieviated period is actually called, implantation spotting...light in color, and it only lasts a few days, around when your period would have been due...
:eek: Really? I thought I knew a lot about all this stuff but I guess I don't!
I do have to say, one of the days/nights I had it, it wasn't exactly light. It wasn't as heavy as it normally is but it wasn't just like a spot or two if that makes any sense.
Me thinks a trip to the ol' grocery store is due! :eek:
Those of you who are moms - did you KNOW when you were pregnant? Did you have a feeling? 'Cause I thought I may have been last summer and wasn't. And now, imagining myself taking a HPT, I can't imagine it coming out positive, so that's why I keep saying I'm not. My symptoms could be attributed to other things and I just don't *feel* it.
This is probably too much info (so don't read if you don't want to)...but if it is bright red, then it probably was a light period, but if it was pink, tan, etc...even if it was more than a few spots, it could still be implantation spotting...mine lasted a week...and some woman even experience an entire full blown period, although unlikely.Quote:

I thought it was definately my period...but we had been trying, so i was hopeful anyway, that is why i tested...and I turned out to be pregnant!!
I had no pregnancy symptoms...no morning sickness, nothing...so i can't help you there...
You can still have a period when you're pregnant. It's rare, but it happens.
You've been all stressed out lately too, so perhaps you're just eating to make yourself feel better without realizing it. :eek:
But for the rest of your symptoms...you know what it sounds like, right? :eek:
I'm sitting here getting all excited for you. LOL
Take the test and let us know. Oh, and make sure you get two tests...just to be sure either way.
Any nausea? (and not just in the morning)
My grandmother (dad's mom) told me that she had periods while she was pregnant with him and his half-siblings. I had completely forgotten about that 'til this thread - funny, huh?
I have been stressed, but it's been getting better over the last month. Things aren't perfect but they're better than they were in December and early-mid January. So I think if I were eating for solace, I would've been doing it for longer than the last few weeks... don't you? I dunno... I'm clueless now.
I can't say exactly what color my last period was... It wasn't bright red, not pink... it was like a dark, dark maroon that one time it wasn't light. The rest of the time was like a rosey type color, not red but not really PINK either. Like a mauve. (You all never knew you'd learn so much about me, huh?)
Geez, I don't know what to think. I can't imagine taking the test and having it be positive! Shouldn't I have a feeling that I am? Now I'm getting all nervous - I don't know whether to hope it's positive or negative! My husband and I wanted to wait to get finances in order before we started having children so that I could stay home with them... if I am pregnant and we have a baby THIS YEAR ( :eek: ), I won't be able to do that... and that would break my heart. But at the same time, I've ALWAYS wanted to be a mommy so it would be so cool if I were... I don't know what to think!!!
Oh, and no nausea. My stomach didn't feel the greatest this morning but I figured it was because I downed a pint of coconut chocolate chip ice cream and immediately ate half a bag of garlic and onion potato chips.
I gagged when I brushed my teeth a few days ago but that's it as far as nausea goes.
You won't necessarily feel like you are pregnant. Some women do, some don't. I didn't with my first two, but with the twins, I looked at a piece of chicken, threw up and knew. :D
This is so exciting! :D
If you do get a test, i recommend EPT...or First Response...i bought 4, lol!! and they all came out definatley positive!!!
Noooo, don't do this 'cause then if it isn't positive I'll feel like a tool! And I just can't "see" it being positive!
EPT is what I used when I thought I could be this summer. I'll get that. I just wish the darn things weren't so freakin' expensive!
Ok, being calm now. :p
Make sure you get a couple of them. They're more accurate first thing in the morning (the preganacy hormone is stronger then), but I know you'll want to do one as soon as you get home tonight. ;)
Gee it sure sounds like being pregnant is a big possibility, I don't think it is thryroid trouble, my mother has had both under-active and over-active and believe me , one can be very sick, you soon know something is not right.
Sounds like it would be nice if you were, and something you would indeed be happy about, just have to wait until you can get an accurate test done and see.
Just remember if you are eating for two, ends up with the result you look like two people after it all, in other words getting the weight off again is no easy going my friend.
Good luck, keep us posted how you are ok.
Maybe, but I think I could maybe wait for tomorrow.
Maybe.
Carole - my mom and I had this talk yesterday. I am not going to be one of those women who eat everything just because I feel like I can because I'm pregnant. I'm eating junk now because that's mostly what's in our house. If I am pregnant, which I doubt, I'll replace it with celery and carrot sticks and other healthy things to munch on when I feel like eating.
My mom only gained 13 lbs. with my brother and he was 8 of that! She followed her hiccups, which I have inherited. We do one little hiccup when we're hungry. And we do another when we're full. She listened to those and kept her food in check and I'll do the same if I am pregnant. If I'm not, I'm just going to freak from eating as much as I have with no "reason"!
Nobody told me that when Iw as pregnant. :p Bring on the Oreos! :DQuote:
