    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    On August 8 I had my menstrual cycle it was irregular. It lasted three days. A week or two later my breasts and tooth started to hurt and I was craving ice lattes. I don’t like coffee like that.

    Dear Midwife,
    My husband and I are trying to get pregnant. Now that we are trying I am a little confused. I think my period came early, but I am not sure if it is implantation bleeding.

    I was supposed to have my period on Feb. 16, but it came Feb. 14. It was dark in color and spotty. I worn a pad all day, but the blood on it was about a quarter size. This continued until Feb. 16 when I was suppose to have my period. That night it stopped. It wasn't a heavy flow and it never became heavy during those three days.

  • Pregnant with Mirena?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I have a quick question. Is it possible to get pregnant while having the IUD Mirena?

    Mine has slipped and isn't in the proper location but the doctor said not to worry. That was about 2 months ago.

    Since December I have gained at least 20 lbs, I'm tired all the time, my breast are huge, and I seem to crave different things then I have in the past. I took a pregnancy test the other day but it was negative. And I don't get a period anymore really. The last one I had was in August. So I'm not really sure what to think. Any thoughts?

  • Off the Patch. Pregnant?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    Hi, Cynthia! I went off the birth control patch on the 13th of October. I got my period on the 20th which was normal. If I ovulate like normal, I would have been ovulating around the beginning of November, right? As soon as my period was gone my husband and I started trying to conceive. On the 6th I started spotting but it was a brown spotting. I think that is really weird. I have never had that before. Is it because I went off my birth control? Is there a chance I could be pregnant? When is the earliest I could test with a home pregnancy test to find out?

  • Specific HPT for Testing Early?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    My question is simple. The first day of my menstrual cycle was on 13 June. My husband and I had sex on 23rd, 24th, 28th & 29th of June. My next period is not due until Thursday 12th July.

    Is it possible to find out if I am pregnant, now? I have tried a home pregnancy test and it has come up negative. Is it too early to find out by a home test, or do I need to see my doctor, just to make sure? Is there a specific home test that I can do to find out?

    Thank you very much for your help

  • What's This Yellowish Discharge?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I stayed at my boyfriend's house all weekend Friday the 15-16th and we had unprotected sex. My boyfriend ejaculated. I normally take the pill but completely forgot to take it on the 15th. I had a bit to drink.

    The thing is I woke up Monday and found a bit of blood in my pants and again Tuesday and today. I'm not due on my period for 3 weeks. The blood isn't really a normal color. It's like a yellowish color. What does this mean? I'm never early either. Could I be pregnant?
