Will I Have Monthly Periods During Pregnancy?
Do periods come every month during pregnancy?

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 21st Jan '25
During pregnancy, menstrual cycles generally do not occur. The body undergoes hormonal changes that prevent ovulation and the shedding of the uterine lining. Some women might experience light spotting or implantation bleeding, which can be confused with a period. If you notice unusual bleeding or any concerns, it's important to reach out to your gynecologist. They can offer proper guidance and reassurance. Regular prenatal check-ups are key to ensuring a healthy pregnancy.

I am having watery discharge, and a smelly fishy oder, and it doesn't burn to pee and my pee is really strong
Female | 30
It may be bacterial vaginosis, another common form of a vague infection. It is due to excessive bacterial growth in the vagina. You should see a gynecologist to determine the diagnosis and treatment.

I am 22 year old female, and I have missed my period since 2 months. What are the possible reasons and how to cure it?
Female | 22
Most of the young women go through amenorrhea. Stress, changes in weight, hormonal imbalances, and even excessive exercise could be the possible causes. Furthermore, issues such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid dysfunction could be the cause as well. A visit to the gynecologist is a must if you want to be sure of the diagnosis and get proper treatment for this issue.

Hi I have taken pregnancy tests and they’ve come back negative.. I have irregular periods but within the last week I’ve noticed my boobs have gotten harder, my lower tummy is tender and hard, I’ve had awful mood swings and I’m very emotional, and I’m always hungry
Female | 25
Symptoms you may be experiencing can be due to hormonal changes, which may not be indicative of pregnancy. An irregular period can cause the hormone levels to fluctuate, leading to tender breasts, bloating, and mood swings. Stress, diet, and lack of exercise can also be the reasons why your body is affected this way. Try managing stress, eating healthy, and gentle exercise to help balance your hormones.

Female | 20
According to what you disclosed, the breast pain and the dark brown discharge may be caused by hormonal changes. It has also been observed that taking the morning-after pill (i-pill), which in turn can cause irregular bleeding and breast tenderness, might be the primary cause of your symptoms. This is all right and these symptoms usually do not call for concern, and they are likely to pass eventually. Nevertheless, if you are anxious or if the symptoms are still there, consult a gynecologist.

I do not get periods since one month it has been irregular from past 6 months
Female | 34
From what you said you are usually on the period for a long time, and now you have no period for a month. This in turn can be reasons such as stress, gaining or losing some weight, or hormonal imbalance, among others. Other signs to spot are mood swings and skin complaints. Be sure to lead a healthy lifestyle and talk to a gynecologist.

I recently had a pregnancy with mild complications during the first term, and later had a surgical abortion, the process was excruciatingly painful because no anesthesia was used or any numbing medication, and a few days later the bleeding started and after two weeks, it finally stopped but I had a black discharge that would come at varying times and sometimes not consistently until it also stopped for a few days. But recently the black discharge has started and it’s even darker than before PS. It’s almost two months since I had the abortion
Female | 18
Irregular discharge must be expected for some days post-surgical abortion, particularly when very dire experiences like painful surgery are involved. The dark color is possibly coming out as old blood, but that can be considered normal, whereas any marked change in discharge or prolonged symptomatology needs immediate attention. It is very important to monitor your situation for any signs of infection, fever, or unusual odor. I recommend you engage with a gynecologist to determine the proper course of action that will help your body recover.

Hello how are you. I had sex on 5th march and got my period 14 march. April too I see my period and may also can I still be pregnant please help me
Female | 21
It seems unlikely that you would be pregnant if you had a period in March, April, and May after having sex on March 5th. Having regular periods indicates that you're not pregnant.

Am I pregnant if I got period 2 days after sex and my period lasted 3 days
Female | 32
Your period arriving signifies you are not pregnant. Having your period 2 days post intimacy, lasting 3 days, makes pregnancy improbable. Sometimes our bodies behave strangely, causing unusual bleeding. If concerned, take a pregnancy test for reassurance.

Female | 18
There can be different reasons for this problem, such as stress, weight gain, or hormonal imbalances. The color, time taken, and amount of blood during menstruation are early indicators of a possible imbalance in your body. You should first and foremost dedicate an appropriate period to stress reduction and eat a balanced diet. Also, be sure to get regular exercise. Visit a gynecologist to get proper treatment.

So this is from the absolute start. So my cycle start on 4th nov and ended on 9th Then on Monday 11th November I had unprotected sex in the afternoon and took p2 immediately after which was 2hours later on the same day. On Sunday 17th November I started bleeding(I had cramps) it ended on Wednesday morning that week My Flo app had showed me that I was supposed to ovulate on 20th November. That week and the next week I didn’t have any symptoms or signs of anything Until the first week of December where I started getting a lot of discharge Like egg white/watery discharge So on Sunday this week I started noticing my boobs were getting sore and I was bloated Then the cramps started and now today I got back ache. So when I logged in my symptoms and the bleeding in Flo app it counted that bleeding I had on 17th November as a period and the week I had alot of discharge became my ovulation week and now I’m on my last week before my period starts next week What do you think
Female | 20
It looks as if you suffer from a variety of symptoms related to your menstrual cycle and potential ovulation, which can be quite normal after taking emergency contraception. Hormonal changes may lead to spotting, and it is typical of approaching ovulation having egg white discharge. Breast tenderness, bloating, and cramping can be experienced also as premenstrual symptoms. As you are monitoring your cycle, keep in mind that some irregularities can take place. If your symptoms continue to bother you and your period or pregnancy are sources of your concern, take a gynecologist's opinion on the situation personally.

Female | 18
Continuous vaginal discharge is uncomfortable. It may mean your previous gynecological infection recurred. The infection could be lingering or a new one developed. Seeing a gynecologist is crucial for proper treatment. They'll advise the next steps to help you feel better.

Is it really necessary to take contraceptives pills if you are not having sex often? Contraceptive pills gives you any advantages?
Female | 26
Birth control pills work by blocking eggs from sperm. Even sans frequent sex, consistent pill taking ensures efficacy. Plus, they regulate periods, control acne, and relieve cramps. Consult a gynecologist to choose the right pill type.

My last period date was 1st April , i had taken ipill on 7th April and till now that is on 14th may I haven't got my periods , pregnancy test is negative, doctor prescribed deviry for 7 days , i will get my periods na
Female | 22
Ipill can sometimes affect your menstrual cycle and cause a delay in your period. Additionally, stress, hormonal changes, or other factors can also contribute to irregular menstrual cycles. After completing the course of Deviry, you may experience withdrawal bleeding, which is similar to a period.It can take a few days to a week after finishing the medication for this bleeding to occur.

my age: aproxx.19 my hieght:5'1 female my weight:34 i have irregular periods and heavy flow which last for more then 2 weeks without any mediation. i dont have pcod or any health issues . i have done thyroid test and ultrasound .. the report was fine
Female | 18
Experiencing irregular periods and prolonged heavy bleeding can be concerning, but it is important to understand that various factors can contribute to this issue, including hormonal imbalances or stress. Since you have already undergone blood tests and an ultrasound with normal results, it might be beneficial to keep track of your menstrual cycles, symptoms, and any potential triggers. Consider speaking to a gynecologist who can provide personalized advice and explore possible treatments, such as lifestyle changes or medications.
