Avatar f tn I normally have 29 day cycles and started bleeding this morning at 46 days. I took a dollar store pregnancy test over a week ago and it had come back negative. I'm not sure if the test was accurate or not. Last night I had sex with my boyfriend again and afterwards got very light cramping, but didn't think much of it. I woke up early this morning with light spotting and cramps. I went back to sleep and then woke up again with heavy bleeding and strong cramps.
Avatar f tn IM so sorry for your loss. As for the bathroom issue, im not sure but as for the blood that is completely normal. when I miscarried it was the dark brown which is "old blood, from miscarriage" and then the fresh blood would come and then darken back to the dark reddish brown as period is starting to end.
Avatar f tn there is a great differnce betweent spotting/bleeding and a full blown period! ones a period with the cramps. lenght. flow....everything that happens when you have period and when you spot/bleed. (its mostly spotting if even that) its in no way similar to a period. its a few drops of blood here and there. not filling a pad or tampon. etc theres a differnce and you would know yes if your so worried your pregnant than simply take a test.
1679574 tn?1316036696 My husband and I have 2 living sons (ages 3 and 2). We suffered our first miscarriage on April 11, 2011 at 15w2d (baby only measured 11w2d). I had a D&C the next day. It took 7 weeks for my HcG levels to return to normal and a week later I started my period (8 weeks post D&C). Two months later in June we learned that we were expecting again. However, we lost that baby (a boy, after genetic/gender testing which all came back normal) on August 9, 2011 at 10w3d.
Avatar f tn Hello, this is my 2nd pregnancy. My first ended with a miscarriage. I'm currently 6wks but I'm experiencing some mild period like cramping on and off since my 1st missed period but I have no bleeding or spotting. I'm so nervous but trying to stay positive. Has anyone experienced this? What could it be? I have my 1st appt 9/16.
773214 tn?1295135069 Does anyone know if there is a higher risk of another miscarriage after having a d&c vs. a natural miscarriage? Has anyone gotten pregnant after having a d&c with a successful pregnancy?
Avatar f tn I'm 36 and had an early miscarriage on return from our honeymoon last July. Since then we have been actively trying but only started using the ovulation tests in the last 4 months. We are getting a bit worried as my period arrived again yesterday and I was really positive about this time. I have been taking multi vitamins for the last month. Any words of wisdom would be really appreciated.
Avatar f tn There's no such thing as a false positive. An egg has to be fertilized and implanted in order to release hCG hormone, which is what is detected by pregnancy tests. Could b chemical or ectopic pregnancy. Both of which end in miscarriage. Most women who miscarry so early don't even realize its a miscarriage. Make spot w doc to confirm pregnancy or miscarriage. Good luck!
1509498 tn?1332872936 I believe there's something new published that states if it's a natural miscarriage vs a D&C that there is no problem with starting immediately. Waiting is mainly recommended just so you know 100% that it's a new pregnancy, to allow the lining to build to a proper amount and for more accurate dating purposes.
Avatar f tn They say you are very fertile right after a miscarriage. After my last miscarriage it took 6 weeks to start to have a period again.
Avatar n tn I have a really abnormal period its really heavy and have clots and got really bad stomach pains what should i do?
Avatar f tn s just frustrating to understand all the articles and advice about ovulation vs pregnancy vs period! They are all so alike! However, these are my symptoms, I'm just trying to fit where they belong.
Avatar f tn I haven't had a period yet. It's been 3 weeks since i had a miscarriage, haven't had a period yet. How long does it take to see a menstrual.
Avatar f tn well now Ive been bleeding all day Im at 8 1/2 weeks and now would be the time of month id normally start my period...could i be having a miscarriage or could of multiple test showed a false positive? Ive been sick, tired and have breast pain but this all started within the past two week. When could i take another test to see if Im still pregnant if this bleeding continues like a normal period?
674725 tn?1367439630 I just experienced my first miscarriage and for me the bleeding was light for 4-5 days and on the sixth day I started heavy bleeding cramping and clots for two days then it got lighter much like a period for 4 more days. My doctor said every woman is different and it can take 1-2 weeks to fully go through the miscarriage process and if it doesn't happen naturally they may recommend a D & C. So I would give it some time and see what happens. If you have any concerns call your doctor.
Avatar n tn hun dont worrie i had a miscarriage to and it it harder to get pregnate after one!!!! but its harder to have your own kid VS. your own.... but if u'r ready do it!
Avatar n tn I'M 30 YRS.OLD AND HAD A MISSARRIAGE 2 MONTHS AGO NOW GOT MY SECOND PERIOD AND HAD IT FOR MORE THAN 10 DAYS IS IT NORMAL AND I HAVE 3 KIDS AND NEVER HAD THIS BEFORE.I USUALLY HAVE MY PERIODS FROM 3-5 DAYS ONLY.I'M NOT TAKING ANY KIND OF BIRTH CONTROLS.
Avatar n tn its the 7th day of my period today but am still getting pains in my lower abdominal,waist and lower back also there is blood clot in my period is this normal or could it be pregnancy
Avatar f tn 1/2 weeks along when I had my miscarriage the miscarriage lasted 6 days from the end of my miscarriage to my first period it was 23 days which was the average length of my cycles. Oh and my period was heavier, longer, and more painful than normal but your first period can be heavier, lighter or the same just depends on your body. I hope that's helpful.
Avatar n tn i had a miscarriage in july had a period since then now im 5 days late and im getting negative tests getting bad period pains for the past 4 days saw breast damp xx
4408310 tn?1354124860 However, I was researching the procedure and saw pictures of it with open tubes vs. blocked tubes... the tech showed me my pictures and they look EXACTLY like the "open tube picture". I also had a miscarriage about 2.5 years ago. And I can't explain it, but I just have this feeling that my tubes have grown back. (because I know better than a doctor right? LOL) Anyways... is there any way that the doctor who read my images was wrong??
Avatar f tn It could have been a chemical pregnancy - very early miscarriage. I've had one and it was pretty much the same as what you describe. Many women have a chemical pregnancy and not even know they were pregnant in the first place. I could have just been an really weird cycle. I would still go and see you obgyn, but if it was a miscarriage there isn't really a way to tell if it was or not.
Avatar f tn I'm 15days later n no sign of period. I done 5 test n say not pregnant. The doctor got me a blood test and its say I was pregnant and the doctor wot 2 do one more 2 see if my blood double up in pregnant and I went back for my result and say my blood is not double!! I'm have breast are sore,heart burn, low back pain, headaches and keep going 2 the loo! I ave a miscarriage couple months ago! I really wot a baby! My last period was 27/12/11.
Avatar f tn I am feelling crampy again and bleeding could this be my first period since miscarriage? It seems very quick after my miscarriage to be my period?
Avatar f tn These are the criteria radiologists use to determine if findings on obstetrical ultrasound are diagnostic of miscarriage vs. suspicious for but not diagnostic of miscarriage: https://www.acog.org/-/media/Practice-Bulletins/Images/pb200a.ashx. Your scenario of gestational sac diameter of 16-24 mm and no embryo is in the column on the right, which is suspicious for but not diagnostic of miscarriage. This is why your doctor requested a repeat ultrasound in a few days.
1884694 tn?1320984455 Ok so I do have this app o have my DROID with a calendar where I track my period, intimacy, and other notes and it calculates my fertile days and my ovulation day for me. So my question is, it shows me fertile 5days before and after my ovulation day...so if we have sex within any of those days we've got a good change of getting pregnant?? I apologize for this being kinda silly..
