Miscarriage, Birth Control Pills and Period Questions !
Posted: 08-15-07 04:05am

I've been trying to make sure I read lots of post and or websites about pregnancy and miscarriage before I post. But I think I'm just gonna have to toss my questions out there...

I have been taking the bc pill since september of 2006. I changed my pill because I had some breakthrough bleeding so the doctor tried something "stronger" (i guess.) It's been a few months on this new pill (tri-nessa) and a week or so before my period is suppossed to come i get what seems to be breakthrough bleeding again.

I didn't waste $ going to buy a Home pregnancy test yet. I've been trying to wait for my period. The bleeding started lightly, then to maybe a brown...one afternoon it was a lot like a period then back to light. Today I experienced some HARSH type cramps. I have been monotoring my urine aswell. No blood seems to be in it (like a period would have), but there was like some type of clumpy stuff once or twice.
I know everything happens differently for every female. I'm just confused.

I feel like an fool...and I apologize to you guys. But if you're miscarrying will your pregnancy test still come out positive?

I have maybe a day or so till my period is "scheduled" to be here. All the pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms are so close ...and my mind wanting a baby is screwing with me.

I know all of what I typed is probably a mess. It's 2am and I'm so tired but couldnt get this off my mind. I'd appreaciate ANY replies.

Hi,
I'm not exactly sure how to answer your question, the only thing I can kind of say is that I was having a miscarriage and when I went to the doctor my count was low and then 2 days later it was completely negative, which means that there was no more preg. hormones in my body. I guess wait and see if you get your "normal " period and if not then go get one. But i hate to say it, but if you've been having clumps, if there was a chance you were pregnant, more than likely you've miscarried. But as always I could be wrong and maybe you should call your doctor!

It is the hormones from the birth control pill that are causing the break-thru bleeding. This can be common for some women.

With birth control pills, you aren't ovulating, so your chance of pregnancy is very low if you are taking it correctly.

Relax.
