Period 18 days apart after unprotected sex
Hi..
I am 41 years old.. single.. and have never been pregnant. My period has always been on a regular 28 day cycle. On the first of this month.. I had my period.. on the 14th day of the month.. I had unprotected sex, and the person came inside me. I was overseas.. (I know the person very well.. it was not a stranger hookup) I flew the same day.. back to America.. on the 18th.. I started spotting.. and yesterday.. I got my period.. darker blood then usual.. medium to heavy flow.. only one pad needed. today.. it seems to have abated.. The flow seems to have only lasted a day. I have never had two periods in one month.. Could this be due to traveling? Or could it be pregnancy? a cyst? STD? I thought I had a yeast infection and treated myself to Monistat... before it became the period.. Right now the bleeding has basically stopped.. any ideas? thanks

Hi I've got my period last nov 2 2012 and I had unprotected sex on 14,I'm expecting my period this nov 30 but it didn't come! I usually have 28 days cycle and I've never been delayed or so whatever but this time I was supposed to be 2 days delayed but woke up this morning with blood in my underwear but I'm very much bothered because it is not that heavy like my menstruation period.. I took pt and it says negative... Pls help me guys..I'm really freaking outM.idk what to do..am I pregnant?
So I'm normally 24-26 days on my period. Last month I started the 7th and again the 24th. It's normally 3 day, but the 24th was 6-7 days long and very heavy. What does it mean?
Hi.. One last question.. when do I take my EPT test? If my period had acted as it normally would.. I would have gotten it tomorrow.. But I am sure it will not come tomorrow.. so do I check then? OR 28 days after the "period that I had?" I am confused..
also.. I have a slight but consistent lower back pain.. and I feel gassy.. both.. not normal for me.
thanks

Hello,
Cymbalta has to be tapered off in dose and then stopped as stopping the medicine suddenly can cause withdrawal effects which are undesirable. You should consult your doctor and get Cymbalta tapered off in dose.
I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

in the meantime.. until I know.. I am going to wean myself off all my addictions.. coffee.. alcohol.. etc.. I have already started to do that. I take Cymbalta.. I am thinking to stop that as well.. I do take synthroid.. so that will stay and I am starting to take folic acid and multivitamins..
what do you think of cymbalta? how to get off? there are side effects to just quitting.. but I will do that cold turkey if needed.. I hope the monistat didnt hurt anything either.. again.. until I know forsure either way.. its rather confusing

wow! thank you so much for your quick response. I will check it out.. I think I will wait until my actual period is due.. (at the end of the month.) and see how I feel.. take an EPT then.. and go to the doctor..

thanks.. the period lasted about three days.. and I was sick off and on.. throwing up and nausea.. and it was not psychosomatic sickness.. trust..
it was never a very heavy period.. a whole day to fill up a pad.. (I wore then this time..usually not) I feel better now.. and the period is over.. it is confusing. if I continue to get nausea.. I will see a doctor.. if not.. then I will call it a day and assume it was an early period..
do you agree? thank you for your response.

Hello,
Bleeding which is pinkish or brownish in color and more like spotting rather than menstruation is implantation bleeding which occurs when the fertilized ovum implants in the lining of the uterus. It can also be due to brownish spotting due to corpus luteum defect in early pregnancy which requires supplementation of progesterone hormone.
So discuss this possibility also with your doctor and get your pregnancy status checked by getting a serum HCG test done.
