Could i still be pregnant after 5 days of bleeding?

Hi everyone. Really hope you can help. I have a 2 year old. Before i got pregnant with him i had a miscarrige, but i got my period exactly a month later,and it lasted the normal 5 days, then exactly a week after it finished i had bleeding again,around the time i was suppose to ovulate, but it lasted only three days, then 3 weeks later i found out i was pregnant again. By the time i saw the doctor he said i was 5 weeks going from the ultra sound but counting from my period, the one that lasted 5 days i was six. Well now i had a period on the 29th August 2005, on the 10th september i started to bleed again, and again around the time i was suppose to ovualte, i wathced it to see how long it would last and its lasted for 5 days, i started puking day after it started and i puked for about 2 days later, i have stopped but i still feel quizy. I was thinking it was either implantation bleeding or ovualtion bleeding am just not sure, i have heard implantation bleeding usually occurs around the time your period is due, but is it possible i could have ovualted earlier than usual so implantation bleeding has occured earlier, or ovualtion bleeding? Has anyone had bleeding for 5 days or more in early pregnancy, after a period to later find out they were indeed pregnant? Please advise :)

Normal it’s only 3 to 7 days. It’s very irregular and keeps being pushed back every month. I did have unprotected sex but only for less that a minute

Well, since you had unprotected sex, you have to go ahead and test to make sure.  Two weeks after the last time you had unprotected sex is a good time frame to take a HPT.  And then one week after that if it is negative.  If the second one is negative, just chalk it up to irregularity but do use condoms to ensure it doesn't happen in the future. good luck

Hey guys so I spotted 11 days after the time I thought I got pregnant but today I noticed I started bleeding again. Am I pregnant or am I getting my period ?

Well, that's really not enough information to make that determination.  When did you have unprotected sex?  How long is your cycle normally?  And the best way to know is an at home pregnancy test.  Let us know the outcome.

Hi Josettemm,
I had an event of menses bleeding for about 4 days and I am 6 weeks along..
I am not sure if I have had a MC or not because I didn't visit the gynae & my appointment with her will be in 3 weeks time & last time I had a MC in 2013, a clot, like the size of a 50cents coin came out, but this time, no, only strings of blood clot discharged along with blood.
I am having those signs of pregnancy, more intensed lately.  Gas, bloatness, headache, a lit bit of nausea...but appetite still huge and I can eat, without any discomfort feeling of vomiting.
I am still hopeful and hope my visit to my gynae soon will not disappoint me.
Anyone who have the same experience, BUT yet have had a healthy pregnancy and baby, do share with me.
Thank you!
God Bless all...XoXo

My last period was December 30th, it was normal. My due date for my next period is January 30th. I fainted at my job January 27th. I started feeling light headed, extremely weak and exhausted, headaches, back and abdominal pains, bloated, cramping, tender, sensitive, and soar breasts, also some foods and smells made me sick but no vomit. I had intercourse with my man February 5th and after I went to go use the bathroom, I had a light pink discharge. I honestly had no clue what that was about because it is nothing I have ever seen before. Then I started spotting and then I bled heavy for two days feeling bloated and cramping with the same symptoms and pains everywhere, and now I'm only spotting that I do not even need a pad or tampon. What is going on???

I took 3 pregnancy tests and they were all positive!!! I went to my doctor the next AM and she felt inside me and said "wow your pregnant!" But then their preg test came in negative! :/ I have EVERY EVERYYY symptom!!! I carried twins(2boys) for 6 months and lost and gave birth to then at 25 weeks or so and they didn't make it! :( ... That was December the 6th, this past December... We have been trying ever since, I have been checked and everything (insides body and all are all good!) so there's no reason that I can not conceive.. I'm very exited but also confused and don't want to get my hopes up!! :/ someone pleaseeeee help! My husband and I are so confused and want to know what's happening !! How can I have 3 positives? U can only have positives if u have that specific hormone so I don't get it.. and the doctor said I'm pregnant by feeling inside me I mean she should know of all ppl she is an obgyn!! Ughhh help please I want a (we want a) baby sooo sooo bad!!! :(

i dont know what is going on with me at all. I am 8weeks, nearly 9 weeks and i started bleeding last week. Ive had 4 miscarriages in the past but i also have 3 healthy kids. With both of my boys i had spotting, 1 was heavier than the other so i had to go to an early pregnancy scan. The baby was fine. This time i havent been to a gp yet at all. The bleeding started as spotting but then it got a lot heavier and i thought it was a miscarriage. However during the bleeding and after it i did a pregnancy test and they all came back positive. Now the bleeding has completely stopped and i am still feeling pregnant but i am usually very sick during pregnancy and ive had none of that. I guess i will go and get medical help but i am avoiding it as i would rather miscarry at home than go into hospital. I also had a molar pregnancy about 7 years ago. Each miscarriage and pregnancy ive ever had has been different. Ive miscarried at home naturally and ive also had to have a d and c because the tissue inside has started to rot and my body wasn't registering or miscarrying. Alls i would say is, go and get medical help and although miscarriage is devastating its quite often caused by one bit of the featus not developing properly. I nearly always miscarry when my body isnt strong enough for pregnancy. I am a true believer in things happen for a reason. Equally though its a great relief to find that your baby is ok and beating the odds. Your body is a bizare thing and you can bleed for masses of different reasons, some serious, some not so serious but its always best to seek medical attention for it.
