my wife is confused if she is pregnant or not, we took 5 pregnancy test they came out positive and she haven t had a period in 12 weeks but when we went to the hospital she took a urine test and they told her that she was pregnant. but still no periods
Hello dear, I understand your concern. Usually there is absence of menstruation during pregnancy. Every month the egg or ovum is released and uterus prepares itself for implantation of embryo. If the fertilization doesn't occur the egg degenerates and the uterine lining is shed as menstrual blood. In case if the fertilization occurs the pregnancy results and there will be no periods during the span of pregnancy. After delivery the breastfeeding due to prolactin hormone prevents the period for 3-6 months. So the absence of periods during pregnancy is absolutely normal. Hope this helps. Best regards ...
