When i first started getting my periods they were heavy and last for about a week and a half, eventually it got up to two weeks really heavy then it would stop for a few days to a week and i’d get it back for another two weeks sometimes three weeks. When i was 15, 2 years after i started getting them i finally went to the doctor, she put me on birth control that i was on for almost 4 years, my periods were always really heavy then but stopped in time for the next cycle of pills.

After i stopped taking them, my periods were ok, they would last anywhere from 5 to 9 or 10 days, but it’s irregular, i’m 22 now, Last year i stopped getting my period for almost 7 months, idk what happened, i wasn’t really stressed out or not eating, because i was eating. Then after it came back it was heavy and will now go away for about a month but it’ll last almost a week and a half sometimes two. When i was 18 i had a miscarriage that showed up on the pregnancy test, when i was 19 and 20 i’m pretty sure i was pregnant by the way i was feeling but it didn’t show up on a pregnancy test, i just had the symptoms, The second one i had was really painful, i stopped having a period for 3 months, and i felt something flutter 2 days before i lost it(?), and when i did i was bleeding really heavily and ended up having the really sharp contractions for about 20 minutes, i kept bleeding but it stopped. The third time when i thought i was pregnant i went to the doctor, i had all of the signs of pregnancy each time but eventually the doctor did a pap smear and i had pre cancerous cervical cells in the third stage, I’ve always had really really painful periods that make it hard to move at all even when i take something for it.

I’ve had unprotected sex with my boyfriend for awhile and haven’t gotten pregnant since or worried about getting pregnant, because i know i won’t get pregnant. Is there a way of knowing what is the actual problem without going to a doctor? Or anyone that has it too and might know what it is? I know it’s not an STD because i do not have one, i was tested and i don’t have that. I don’t know how anything that’s wrong with me is stopping me from having a baby not that i’m trying but i would like to have one someday but am afraid i might not ever be able to.
my doctor suggested getting the cells removed and she promised she would get rid of them but didn’t, i still have them, i don’t have health insurance to keep going. They did a follow up after the surgery and i still have them.

Protection or not i get bladder infections, and once i got pelvic inflammatory disease, i am a clean person and so is my boyfriend and he’s not cheating, i’m just prone to problems in that area, when i had the PID, they said it’s just a bacterial thing and gave me medicine for it, it just inflamed my reproductive organs.

Honestly, it’s not that i don’t want kids because i do but i don’t really care if we don’t have protected sex because i love him, i’m not worried about it, we both want a baby, we’re not trying to get pregnant but we’re open to kids, he knows about my problem though, i’ve had miscarriages, for some reason they’re not staying and i have no idea why.

hey
i’m 9 weeks and 3 days
was askin a few days ago about me havin sharp pain in either side of the lower abdomen and poeple say it could be ligament pains.

i was on the internet and they say it happens in the middle of the pregnancy.

also spoke to the midwife and she also said i shouldnt be having them at the stage.

but whats happening to me is the same as ligament pains
*Ligament spasms or contractions/cramps that trigger a sharp pain typically on the right side of the abdomen.

*pain suddenly rolling over in your sleep.

*Pain in the abdomen that is sharp brought on by exercise or other vigorous activity.

so what could this be is it ligament pains ?
or could they be more then 1 baby?

Thats what i heard, and i know its true. Also when my sister in law was in labor i tested it out. She was having contractions and i told her to rub her nipples that it makes your contractions come on faster, she did, and she had the biggest contraction so far!.

If you were in the early stages of pregnancy, implantation, and your nipples were being rubbed alot, could it cause a miscarriage, could the baby not be able to implant bc of the contractions?
Ew nurse, i wasnt saying birth control! When my mother was in labor the nurse told her to rub her nipples that it made the contractions come faster and guess what, she did it ALOT and boy did it work. The dr said dont too it too much My cousin is a nurse. she knows about it. Im sorry but its not false.
