Period while pregnant

---

hope some one can clear the air for me...my Gf not long ago comfirmed she was pregnant, and with this she has told my mum and dad,(who are ok with it) but not her family as yet,But went to the loo today to notice a used, tampon and towel, in the loo bin.(no other female in the house apart from my little sister who is 6)way i always belived, that periods stopped when your pregnant. is this true?? if so how should i ask her.. i have not yet ask'd her to do a test. as i trust, what she tells me.. but if she is.. she's misslead me for 8-9 weeks.and my mum and dad as well, as from today she still saying she is and unsure of what she is doing.any ideas what i can or should do??maplex

Light bleeding in early pregnancy is possible. However, I don't know how "light" is light. If she continues to bleed more or the bleeding is heavier, it's a warning flag that there may be complications with the pregnancy.Since we don't obviously know how her cycles, it's hard to tell if she's experiencing spotting or it's a period. The only way I see is to ask her for a test or ask her about the bleeding.As hard as it is, you need to know the truth. If she's pregnant, she may need a trip to the doctor to make sure is she's okay. If not, she owes you a major apology for misleading you.

thanks for the reply. all i know it's not the first time she's been on her period(still getting them as normal).. while she comfirmed she was pregnant.alot at the mo, is comfirming thats she's NOT and some bits which she is, but i don't wish to ask her till.. i know more my self.when i ask to go to the doc's with her a check up.. after the first period was late,... i was given a firm NO (weird. most people would jump at support from there bloke)regarding her cycles. there very off and on. i belive due to her polycystic ovaries..but i don't know a great deal about this. so not 100% comfirmedtbh the towel etc.. wasn't very hidden ,just thrown in the bin..which is why i noticed it.. and No there was not alot of bleeding.... almost the size of a very large grape.(inch and a half patch) also not sure if thats alot or not.but at the mo, i do feel 80% she's not pregnant. but that may be thinking too much about it.and working myself up about it..but idealy i want to know soon. before we go away for christmas.Editalso might need to add.. her period was due around about now anyway,maplex

Maybe someone else can clear this up. Quote:regarding her cycles. there very off and on. i belive due to her polycystic ovaries..but i don't know a great deal about this. so not 100% comfirmedBy her cycle, I also meant about her bleeding. Do you know what her normal period would be? As in is the bleeding light or heavy and how long does it last.This is starting to seem like you and her should go to the doctor. She needs to get a check up for her own safety and health. I don't understand why she would refuse, especially if she believes she's pregnant.

Is it possible that the tampon might be your mums?

Full periods wouldn't be normal at all. After all, full periods are due to the shedding of the uterus lining, which doesn't happen in pregnancy.

There have been rare cases where there seemed to be a regular (but light) period, but this is rare.

Miscarriage perhaps... if she was pregnant.

*hits her head* Duh.

Thanks for clearing that up. Even though it seemed odd to me, I just wasn't sure.

i dunno, it may be me over reacting. but it's weird the way she told me, and ive not really seen any signs of being pregnant. (morning sick,etc etc)all she moans about is the pain in her tummy. which she said to do with her polycystic ovaries. when i ask'd..i find it ever so weird.. i offer to go with her, for advise etc etc and iam never aloud to go..and as i said home tests.ive ask'd 3 times now.. all with a firm NO.

Probably lying.

Agreed.

Double agree.

polycystic ovaries a lot of times mean she cannot get pregnant due to her inability to ovulate. Thay can also cause irregular bleeding patterns. I would say wait a few weeks or till her next cycle comes around to make any sound conclusions. My EX had those polycystic ovaries and infertile, which was ok with me but she recently got married and had artificial methods of insemination done to her, now she has a kid.My current GF had a miscarriage and it was very painful in her belly area. She didn't know at the time but she should have hade the remnants of the fetus vacuumed out due to the dangerous toxicity it can cause inside her. You could express concern for this and maybe she'll understand your worry.

I bled with my first one, and it was due to a VERY bad bladder infection. The doc thought I was about 3 days from miscarriage without immediate treatment.Plus, some girls think it is a great way to get a guy to pay extra attention to them, so they lie! They do the whole, I'm pregnant ploy to get pampered, and if they think there is trouble in the relationship, they will say they are prego to "keep the guy"....If she says your the daddy, you have a right to the "medical care of your child". Sounds like a game to me.Good luck!
