QuestionI am 21 years old and have 2 kids with my boyfriend. Ever since I have had my kids, my periods have been irregular (usually coming a week early each month) I had my last period on july 6-10 or 11 then on July 25 I had brown discharge (more than spotting had to wear pad; fairly heavy but not like a period) which turned into bright red blood very heavy but only was heavy for about 30 min then turned into light bleeding again. The bleeding lasted about 4 days. And there was one day I even felt a little nauseas but nothing like morning sickness. I was very concerned bc there is no way I could take care of another baby at this time and due to certain issues, have not been able to make it to the doctor for birth control. (We have been using the pull-out method) I began googling for answers. I read about a chemical pregnancy that would occur about 2 weeks before your period should start. It mentioned the dark brown discharge also. I seemed to have all the symptoms other than a pregnancy test (don't have a car to myself to go pick one up. I don't want to tell anybody anything until I know for sure so I don't want to ask my boyfriend or his mom or especially my mom to take me to buy one) anyway so after reading about all that I assumed that was what was happening to me. Now it is August 8 my period should have began on the 6. I also read that after a chemical pregnancy your period can be up to like a week late, but that still doesn't keep me from worrying. Yesterday Aug 7 I felt somewhat sick waking up and ended up puking up my first meal and felt very weak all day and had very strong abdominal cramps that would last about 30 seconds then go away for about an hour then over and over again. I have been pregnant twice before and both times have had TERRIBLE morning sickness all day long every day until giving birth and yesterday felt somewhat like morning sickness while I was pregnant but also felt different because when I was pregnant with my first 2 kids I would always feel very very sick if I didn't eat often and yesterday I puked up my first meal and did not eat the rest of the day and did not feel any worse. I have not been feeling sick since yesterday but I am very worried. Also I have been having clear discharge, well actually just a little bit of discharge but my vagina is full of wet sticky clear substance. It does not pull apart between my fingers it is very liquid-y. What do you guys think? I need help!! Do you think I had a chemical pregnancy and am just starting to ovulate again??? Or is it something else??? Please respond I am going crazy!!
AnswerHi Fallon.
Firstly, as you probably know, the pull-out method is not very effective! This is because before a man ejaculates, he leaks some semen which is highly concentrated.
Reading your question, I'd say that there are some ongoing problems going on here. You are experiencing some huge hormonal fluctations, hence the nausea and irregular periods. It could be that you're pregnant or have experienced a chemical pregnancy (early miscarriage), but I'd say you need to go to the doctor to get yourself checked over & properly diagnosed.
Watery discharge is not uncommon during ovulation, so as long as it's not irritating or smelly then I shouldn't worry.
Your health is important & I strongly recommend that you arrange a visit to your doctor. Whilst you are there it would be wise to sort out some contraception. If you are having problems with your cycles, you may find that going on the pill will help.
I do hope this has helped. Please come back if you have any other issues.
Kindest Regards
Sarah
