Period 6 days late, now bleeding
ready4baby posted:
My period has only been late once in my life, and I was pregnant but M/C. Now my period is 6 days late and I started bleeding this morning with some cramping. Is it possible that I could still be pregnant? I live overseas, so I do not have a regular OB here.

Dear Ready4Baby,
Vaginal bleeding by itself is a sign that can result from many different conditions so you need to do a little more investigation. A late menstrual period can be a sign of a problem with ovulation, a miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy, a normal pregnancy, etc. A pregnancy test is a great place to help you begin to narrow down the possibilities. If you are going to be overseas for very long, it may be worth your while to establish a relationship with an ob/gyn so that you have someone local to reach out to if you have a problem. Good luck!
