Periods while pregnant?!


Question: I'm on the pill and last had sex in December.. I've had my period three times since then but it's been extremely light and I've slowly noticed my stomach getting a bit more fuller and rounder. The thought struck the other day, so I took an HPT and it was negative. I'm not sure if I'm just worrying myself silly or if I should be nervous about this -- I'd be abt 14 weeks along (geez!). Should I get a blood test? Is it even worth it or am I being foolish?

I would go get the blood test. Its much better to know for sure that youre pregnant rather than realize it later and miss out on a lot of the prenatal health care. Those EPT's are not always correct, so if you have a gut feeling that you could be pregnant, see you doctor.
One of the side effect of almost all forms of birth control [except abstinence of course] result in weight gain. Its usually about 5-10 lbs, so if youve gained at least that amount there is definite cause to get a blood test.
I hope everything works out for you.

yes you should, just to be safe, especially if its just like spotting. You might be pregnant, but then again you might not. It never hurts to go to the doctor and check.
