Can prenatal vitamins make periods lighter or shorter?
I'm not pregnant I take them for the vitamins since I'm vegatarian.
Iv'e noticed my period has been lighter and shorter. Like last period I didn't even have it actually. And this time it was light and only 2 days. Does this have anything to do with it?
What does cramping and back pain in between your periods mean?
I had on period that was 3 weeks late. Then my next two were a couple days early. In between my last period and this one (around the middle of my cycle) I had two different days, about a week apart from each other that I had bad cramping and back pain. No bleeding. Then my period came 3 days late. I have never been regular, but this pain in between is not normal for me. What could be causing this? I'm not pregnant.
Prenatal vitamin question?
So I took a prego test and it was negative but a lot of people told me I took it too early and I still haven't had my period since July 29th (last day of my last period). I took a nutrition class and we talked about how important it is to have folate in your diet especially when you are pregnant. So I am sure that I am pregnant because I have never missed a period. I went and got some prenatal vitamins to take now until I find out and have a few questions about them. I use to take prenatal vitamins as a multivitamin for many years, and the store didn't have the ones I am use to taking. I bought One a Day Womens Prenatal vitamins. It comes with two different pills. One has all the vitamins in it (pink pill) and the other one has some polysaturated fat, omega 3 fatty acids and it says under omega 3 EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) this one is a liquid gel. I feel stupid asking this but should I be taking both of them? I know when you get a script for prenatal vitamins it's just a big pink tablet. I am just trying to take all the extra precautions and don't want to screw up.
Also I was craving a salad with sour cream (totally wierd) and I forgot to take the pill and took it about 15 minutes later or so (under 30 minutes) and I started to feel really sick. Is this normal? I never remember getting sick feeling when I took the other prenatal vitamins. I have been feeling really pukey lately anyways and my smells have been crazy. I had to have my boyfriend cut up the lettuce. Is there anything that is better to eat when you take the prenatal? I don't drink cows milk and I do not eat much meat.
The prenatal vitamins didn't come with instructions. On each bottle it just says take one and that's it. Am I suppose to take them at the same time every day?
period for 15 years and PMS symptoms?
okay I have had periods for 15 years, and every few months I would get pms symptoms, only tender breasts, and cramping. Recently I have been taking vitamin b6, and folic acid, and this last period I had the cramps, breasts tenderness, and a backache all which were very mild. my thing is I never had a backache before and I was wondering if the backache that is associated with pms subsides with all the other symptoms. I had my period for 4 days this time and everyday the ache would gradually rise up my spine, I am off of my period now and I only have the backache symptom left. No I did not hit it against anything, or did anything strenuous such as lifting something heavy, for the women who do have backache's when pms'ing how long does yours last? If this is way to long for my back to ache is there anyone who has experienced this, or could give me a few ideas as to what it could be. Thanks for your response.
