Brief Answer:
She is not pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The bleeding that she had now can be due to an earlier period. Since she has a history of PCOS, there is some hormonal imbalance also and she can have irregular periods. The periods can be delayed also in the absence of any medicines.
She had a period after the intimacy. There was no penetration. The chances of pregnancy are practically nil.
The passage of clots are not seen in implantation bleeding. Since the pregnancy test is negative even 25 days after the intimacy, she is not pregnant. You need not worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

mam the bleeding hasnot stopped yet,it started yesterday evening..she just now informed that the flow got increased and bright red blood clots,lumps are seen and cramps around abdomen which she sees feels in her period usually..
1)mam can this be her period which is just preponed from her usual cycle length?
2)mam if this bleeding now had been implantation bleeding,it wd have shown positive result on HPT,isn't it?today she took HPT with preganews and got negative result ie only C line is seen in the kit which is 25 days after the incident..
3)Mam can that act on 22nd July can cause any threat to pregnancy to this cycle and further cycles,unless we engage in sexual intimacy again?
4)Mam is there any need to repeat HPT further with Preganews?
5)Mam how can i be sure that her earlier period from 25-28 th July was her period only though with light flow and blood clots and not any other bleeding?
6)Mam she took medications for PCOS,thereafter she got regular period of 34-37 days,then stopped medications..can the period be preponed or postponed due to this?..mam she visited a homeopathic doctor today who gave her medications for PCOS earlier too to regularise her period..today that doctor gave him medicines and told her to take those medicines after she is done with her periods to regularise flow and duration..He also said that period can be preponed sometimes.
7)Mam weren't we safe during the sexual intimacy day(22nd July) on the 38 th day of the cycle,she has cycle length 34-37 days?
8)so mam i shd be rest assured that no pregnancy can occur with that 22nd July act?

Brief Answer:
Details below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
1. The bleeding she is having now is likely to be her period that has got preponed due to a hormonal disturbance.
2. Yes. In case of pregnancy the test should have shown a positive result.
3. No. She will have her periods as she was having routinely until she gets pregnant.
4. There is no need to repeat the test.
5. This cannot be ascertained now. There are no such tests that can prove that the bleeding she had earlier was her period.
6. Stopping the medications can cause irregular periods. The periods can be preponed also.
7. Just prior to period it is the safe time of the cycle. The pregnancy is unlikely to happen during this time.
8. Yes. Rest assured there is no chance of pregnancy.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.

1)Mam her 25th July flow was light on the 1st day,on 26th it got medium,had blood clots,from 27th eve it again went light and finally gone away on 28th..the flow that started on 15th August was light,then on 16th and 17th it went medium and had lot of blood clots,today it again went light..so mam the two flows are her period only as both tested negative on HPT and not any other bleeding?
2)Mam is it normal to have periods preponed once in a while that too in PCOS?
3)Mam her flow during period varies sometimes low and sometimes normal..is it because of PCOS?
4) So if her next period is preponed or postponed or the flow is medium or normal,its bcz of PCOS and not anything else or related to the 22nd July act or pregnancy?
5) After 22nd July we didnot engage in any sexual intimacy,so pregnancy is not at all possible with that 22nd July activity unless we again engage in intercourse?
6)Mam so there is no need to repeat HPT even if her next periods get preponed or postponed or her flow during period is medium or normal unless we again ger intimate?
7)Mam so she is completely safe from pregnancy with the 22nd July act and shd i be rest assured mam?

ok mam thanx a lot..can u suggest me how can i get over the stress completely,though i know there is no chance of pregnancy..

1)Mam is there any need to do HPT again or Blood hcg?

2)Mam actually am concerned because of the two light periods,one 3 days after the act and again on 22nd day of the new cycle which was preponed by 10-12 days..in internet people are saying that early and light periods may mean implantation because it is also light thats why i am confused..so she is completely safe from pregnancy?are u assuring me?

kindly answer mam..thanku..:)

Brief Answer:
Details below.

Detailed Answer:
You need to believe that she is not pregnant.
1. No need to repeat HPT or blood HCG.
2. The light period that has soaked one pad means it as a period and not an implantation bleeding. Also repeated negative pregnancy tests rule out pregnancy. The test comes positive in 3-5 days after an implantation bleeding. Searching internet for medical problems can make you confused. It better to believe a qualified doctor.

ok mam i wl follow ur answer..thanku..

1)Mam as per my knowledge sperms can survive at most for 5 days inside(if not less),and ovum can survive for 24-36 hrs..the act took place on 22nd July,so just for instance not taking into account the light period from 25-28th July,if conception occurs it wd have occured by 28th July at the latest,so Urine pregnancy test would have shown positive HPT incase of pregnancy after 21 days ie.18th August at the latest..Yet it showed negative 44 days after the incident..so no conception have occured,isn't it mam?

2)Why are her periods sometimes light and sometimes normal?..The August period was early by 10-12 days also..


3)Mam in implantation bleeding or pregnancy related bleeding,are clots present and also do pads are required?..She used 4 pads in total both on her 25-28th July light period and 4 pads in15-18th August light period whereas in XXXXXXX period her flow was normal she used 5 pads in total..

kindly answer to these mam in details..

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is ruled out.

Detailed Answer:
1. You are right in calculating the dates. The pregnancy is not possible in this case.
2. The irregular periods can be due to a hormonal imbalance or stress and anxiety. She can take oral contraceptive pills to make her periods regular.
3. Using 4 or 5 pads is considered as a normal period. It is not a light period or implantation bleeding. You need not worry.

ok mam..thank u..

1)But both the flows on 25-28th July and 15-18th August was lighter than her XXXXXXX period but similar to her May month period..

2)Mam her local gynaecologist told her to look for her periods in this cycle and if the same pattern continues he wl give her medicines..actually she is obese(recently gained 3 kgs) and have pcos..the gynaecologist told her to regularly exercise and have controlled diet which will help in regulating menstruation..

3)Mam after 25th July period,there was no sexual intimacy..But her period with light flow came on 15th August on 22nd day whereas her cycle length is 34-37 days..without any sexual intimacy in this cycle or further cycles pregnancy cant occur even if period gets preponed or potponed with less or normal flow,isn't it right mam?

4)So no pregnancy can occur with that act on 22nd July as HPT is negative 44 days after the act?

Thanx a lot mam for making me reassured..kindly answer to these questions in details..Thanx mam..:)

Brief Answer:
The change in flow can happen due to PCOD.

Detailed Answer:
1. The flow of bleeding can be lighter if the periods are starting before the due date. This is a normal variation and not an implantation bleeding.
2. Her gynecologist is right. The decrease in flow can be related to hormonal disturbance caused by PCOS.
3. To get pregnant you will have to be intimate again. The flow during periods is not affected by it.
4. Yes. She is not pregnant now due to act on 22nd July.
