Stupid question from someone my age I know but...

I thought I was pregnant a few weeks back because my period was late but then I came on my period 5 days ago and it was really heavy. It finished today but I go to the gym all the time and instead of losing weight i am putting it on and my boyfriend is saying that he thinks I am pregnant even though I had my period because one of his mates had that. How common is this to happen? Do you reckon he could be right (for once! lol). Thanx.

Good luck <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
A 'period' during pregnancy isn't a real period; there's a big long word for it. If only I could remember it... Put your mind at ease. You're 15, it could just be that you're putting on weight/muscle as teen girls such as us do at this stage.

*realises that's shallow*
Good luck!
If you are pregnant, this bleeding may be a sign of a complication.
Go to a Gp.

You could just be having irregular periods, which is fairly common. Maybe you should visit a family planning clinic or your GP to talk through your cycle and contraception so you feel more confident about everything.
As for putting on weight - you are still growing and developing at 17, I doubt it is anything to worry about...why not chat to one of the trainers at the gym.
