Pregnant or too much stress

by Blanquita80, Jun 08, 2008 01:08PM
Hello everyone!!

I know, i know..the only way we can know if you are preggo, is to test ( I will test on MOnday).

I've been so overboard with work, that I forgot that I was suppose to get my period June 1! I'm 7 days late! I've been thinking of testing ( I prefered to wait, I got some pain...it feels like it will come).
Is it because I was under lots of stress at work? ( but I'm always under lots of stress, and my period is always regular)
Yesterday, I had some light red only when i wipe....Today, brownish but just a bit ( I still feels it will come,my back hurts  a lot...)Is it normal all this?
I will test tomorrow...

Could someone be pregnant and bleed a bit ( with no clots)?

Thank you

Hello,

If you think you might be pregnant take a home pregnancy test.  If it is negative, repeat it in one week.  if still negative follow your cycle over the next 3 months and if still abnormal see your ob/gyn.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing

It sounds like you are beginning your AF. I've had two cycles be about a week late due to stress, I know for sure it was stress because I'm usually pretty laid back & my OB/GYN agreed it must have been stress that delayed them.

But have heard of women spotting & being preggo, my mother was one of them.

I am 7 days late, and I have been checking the position of my cervix.  About a week ago it was low and then high, and now it has dropped back down?  Can you still be pregnant with a low cervix?  You hear so many things about high and soft, low and hard, that I am not sure.  I am going to test next week, and then I will know, but in the mean time has anyone else had this?  I actually have much larger breasts... however they are not sore, just bigger. Maybe I am just getting fat..lol
Let me know!

My cervix always goes back & forth, ....but it definitely drops 2-3 dys before my cycle begins & stays down.

Hi,
Thanks... here is a funny one.  Upon checking this morning, it is high again!  To the point where you can barely touch it.  Bizarre huh?  I am not sure.  I am just going to test and get it over with.

Thank you for your help!!

i am five months pregnant with my second child and whenever my husband stresses me out, i start to feel pains in my stomach. almost like contractions but not full blown. Can stress cause contractions or is this all in my head?
