What Could Be The Reason For Cramps And Heavy Bleeding Periods And Also Have Sore Breast And Swelling With White Clusters Of Hair?
I had early pregnancy symptoms for the last few weeks. My last period was on 11/29/2013 so when my period didn t show up I was sure that I was pregnant. But on 1/4/2014 my period finally came. The first day it was bright red but a few hours later it was a dark brownish red and went off only to come back an hour later. Today it has been bright red and heavy with bad cramps. I m still having breast pain & swelling. They also have these little white clusters of hair on them and my milk ducts are showing again. I m so confused. Could you please help me to understand what s going on with me?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
First of all, as protocol it is important to rule out pregnancy and if this was indeed a pregnancy, a blood test may help to detect the now dropping levels of hCG, please report to a doctor for the same.
Next, if this is not a pregnancy the only other cause that could present with all these symptoms is a hormonal imbalance which can be brought about by various causes. This will also have to be confirmed and the cause found and treated, please visit a doctor at the earliest for the check on hormone levels and a urine examination and vaginal swab test.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
