My period lasted 2 days, when it normally lasts 5, can I be pregnant???

[creative14]

I have posted questions in the past about getting pregnant etc.  Well this is a new month and I thought I was pregnant with some of the symptoms i was having, well it turns out that on 2-3-06 i started my period.  i was hoping to be pregnant.  Well this period was different. It only lasted 2 days and as of today (2-5-060 I have very very light spotting.  The first day that i got it was not as heavy as I normally get them on the first day.  My periods in the past have lasted 5 days or so.  With this month only lasting 2 days, is there a chance that i can still be pregnant?  the last time my fiance and i had sex was on 1-29-06 and prior to that was on the 22nd and 24 of jan.  Need answers.

If you are having sex, then yes, there is always a chance of pregnancy.  Every woman is different so it's impossible to say whether a short period means you're pregnant.  You're going to have to take a pregnancy test if you want a definitive answer.  Good luck.  I hope you get the results that you want.

Yeah, it is tough to tell, the only way to know for sure is to test, thouhh I have a feeling it will probably be negative. Various things can cause changes in your period, some making it come early, some late, some affecting the flow, etc.

I'm going through a similar situation right now, so I've been doing a lot of research.  It could be you are pregnant and that you were having implantation bleeding.  I had brown/red spotting one day, a little heavier blood the next day, and then spotting the next.  That was about 3 weeks ago.  I still haven't gotten a right period and I'm very suspicios that I'm pregnant, even though home pregnancy tests say negative.  It can take ahwile to show up on a test, so don't loose hope.  Are you feeling any symptoms of pregancy?

[jomartin]

Yes it is possible to be pregnant. My sister just found out she was pregnant. She had a 2 day period last week which she said seemed normal except for it being so short. She still had sore breasts a week after that so she took an hpt which came back positive so it is possible but u need to take a test to know for sure.

[creative14]

I did have the 1st day brownish red blood and the next was light and not as heavy as a normal period.  I did have sore breasts, really sore prior to the bleeding. I know they say those can also be signs your period is coming, but I have never had sore breasts prior to a period.  How long should I wait to take a test.  I know my dr says that I can take the test 10 days after conception, but i dont know if i should go by the last day i had sex or prior to that.  i dont want to spend the money too soon if the test is going to be negative.  I have not had any other simptoms as of yet.  I know I have gained weight within the past month, but i dont think it has to do with being pregnant cause i have taken tests in the past month which came up negative, but then again the times i have taken the test may have been the wrong time or it being too soon.

[Love My Hubby]

Well, I'm still getting negative pregnancy tests, but no period.  I'm starting to think I'm not pregnant, just messed up hormones, maybe.  It's 14 days since I missed my period and 21 days since I had the light bleeding.  Do you think we could have low levels of the pregnancy hormone because we bled some?  I don't know, just a thought.
If you don't want to waste money on pregnancy tests, I would wait a little while just to make sure the results will be accurate.

[creative14]

Well I no longer have the brownish/red discharge.  I didn't take a pregnancy test.  I have gotten a lot within the past 2 weeks and I think it is best that I will wait to see if I get period next month.  It was weird having my period for only 2 days. I am going to keep trying to get pregnant, I am not getting any younger, to me at least.  Thanks for that advice.

Your hormones react in large part to your mind. It is amazing the control that a mind can have over the body ... by wanting to get pregnant, it is very likely that your brain is trying to tell your body you are pregnant and thus the symptoms like the shortened period, etc. It is important to recognize at the outset of trying to get pregnant that it takes an average couple 6-12 monts to get pregnant with the first child. In order to save yourself from the consant emotional rollercoaster that comes with trying to get pregnant (that all of us put ourselves through), try to carry on as normal. You guys just started trying to get pregnant around December, right (judging from your January posting)? I would say relax, take your time, and plan on it taking a couple more months. This way, if it happens before that, it will be such a great suprise. Otherwise, you are mentally prepared to go a couple of months without the great news. The more you can mentally concentrate on regularity, the sooner your body will be able to let you know what is up. In regards to symptoms, it is highly unlikely to have pregnancy symptoms before the third week of pregnancy (a lot of people don't have any symptoms until the second, third, or fourth MONTH of pregnancy). Treat your body as though you are pregnant by taking prenatals (make sure you are getting adequate folic acid), you need a high calcium intake, and eat healthy. Make him stay away from caffeine, wear loose boxers (no briefs or boxer briefs), and buy ovulation tests in order to increase your odds. Good luck! We started trying around the same time that you did, and I was 21 days late the first month and got so excited (minus the "negative" HPTs). Sometimes, our bodies just like to make us wait! It will be worth it when we get that positive result, though! Keep up the faith and plan on it taking a couple more months so that if it happens sooner than later, you will be pleasantly suprised. Good luck!

So i dont know if I am just paranoid or what but I got my period june 2nd. it lasted a short 3 days. My boyfriend and I are sexually active and at the time were not using protection. Since, i have been feeling tired, getting nausea, tender breasts, food cravings, etc. I just got my period again on the 26th and its already gone with it being the 28th today. Is this stress related from panicking?? or should I take getting a pregnancy test into consideration? SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!

[Koryn]

My last period lasted about a day and a half.  I have gained quite a few pounds lately.  The 3 pregnancy tests I have taken all say negative so I am wondering if it's all stress.  Is that possible.  My period should start any day now.

Hi

my period was 4 weeks late and neg preg test and then had period for 3 days quite light. im feeling so tired all the time. could it be just stress and hormonal imbalance?

[oneofeight]

This month on December 2nd I had spotting for a day and a half (normally lasts at least 4), it stopped, then my boyfriend and I had sex and I spotted a little but it was a really wierd consistency and brighter and it stopped right after sex. My period usually comes every 21 days and it was 2 days late on 12-02-07. So now that it's 12-25-07 and no period, nausea, tender breasts, breast milk production, lower abdominal stretching kind of feeling, food cravings and aversions, short fuse, among other things, I think that I might be pregnant. I took a HPT a few days ago and it was negative so I really don't know what to do or think right now. I've been telling myself that I'm not pregnant so as to make sure it's not in my mind and I'm actually experiencing all these symptoms. I hope someone can offer some kind of insight on this. Please.

[anarajado]

Me & my boyfriend have been trying to get pregnant for 3 months now. For the past 3 weeks my breast have been really sore and I got my period on the 12th which was a day late. Get this though it only lasted 2 days it was lighter I only used 1 pad & on the second day I used a pantiliner. I had brownish stuff on the 2nd day. I've been really tired and frustrated. Nauseated and I have headaches sometimes. I keep telling myself i'm not pg so i'm just gonna wait & see what happens. Good luck to everyone!!!

I got my period on friday afternoon and then by sunday it was gone. I was not to worried about a baby so i had a few drinks. But then when I stopped to think about it I am alittle concerned. I usually i get my period for about 5-7 days and in the mean time i have bein really tired(i can sleep for like 12hours no problem and i am always feeling tired) should i be concerned about being pregnant?

[angel1413]

On Jan. 18 I got my normal period that lasted 4 days than Feb came around and this time I got it on Feb. 8 which was wierd cause it was early and lasted 2 days, but I didnt think nothing of it and considered it normal as we are always changing, but than I missed in March and found out a week before it was due to arrive so I thought I got pregnant in Feb. after my period but in fact I am 7wks 5dys as told by a US so that means that even though I had a 2day whatever in Feb I was in fact pregnant. So really anything is possible. Take a test for all those who are worried. You never know!!!

[pepper809]

Im having the same problem this month I was a week late. Then my period only lasted for two days! The first day was really light the second heavy then after that just a little blood but only when I wiped which is strange for me because I always last the seven days!  Since then Ive been feeling sick to my stomach and it doesnt matter if I eat or not it doesnt help, also lower backaches, headaches, bloating, and Ive been very gasey!!! I took two pregnancy tests but both neg. I have two  children already. Im not gaining any weight just my belly seems to be getting bigger and Im an average size I guess. Im going to go to the doctor on monday and have a blood test done just to make sure. Also Ive very tired all the time!!
