Did I Miscarriage?
Posted: 03-17-04 23:58pm

I don't know much about miscarriages...I am 21 but don't know as much as a 21 year old should I think. I am getting married in july, and have only been intimate with my fiance... But I have a question... How do you know if you have miscarriaged? I have had to be on birth control for 2 years do to complications with ovarian cysts. But since I started the pill, my period has always been normal. Always starts on thursday of the last week of my cycle, always ends on sunday. Yesterday (tuesday) I had a very bad pain in my ovary area, where I have had problems before... I went to the bathroom and I lost some blood. I have never done that before. I am still bleeding. My normal period should start tomorrow, but it kind of freaked me out that after two years it started early. Was I pregnant and had a miscarriage or am I freaking out over nothing?
Any replies would be very helpful!

Hi penguin this is mommy in sac. I read your question about a possible miscarriage and it reminded me of something that happened to me when I was 22, it was shortly after I got married. I was having pain on my lower right side and a few moments later began to bleed. I actually thought that I might have miscarried too so I called my doctor and she told me to go to the hospital if the bleeding was signifficantly heavier than my normal period otherwise I was probably just starting my period early. She asked me if I had missed any of my pills recently and I had. With the comotion of planning a wedding I forgot and took them late a couple of times. She said this is called break through bleeding and that the pain was probably just cramps caused by the sudden hormonal change. I don't know how severe your pain or bleeding was and I have not had a history of ovarian cysts either. I think that maybe you should go to your doctor just to be safe and this should help ease your mind as well. I hope that you did not have a miscarriage but if you did don't worry, miscariages in early pregnancy (6 weeks or so) rarely cause fertility problems later. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much. You're probably right because I did miss a pill this month... I paniced because i've missed pills before and never had this happen before, but that makes sense. I'm kind of going through the same thing... Work has been nuts, and with the wedding and school and everything else, I have been way stressed lately, so it could be stress related also. It's good to know someone else went through the same thing. I have my regular doctors appointment soon anyway, so unless it doesn't stop on time I will probably just wait until then to ask her about it. Thanks so much! :d

I had a miscarriage several years ago. There was alot of blood and tissue I lost. I don't think what you had was a miscarriage. You still should go see a doctor with your history of ovarian cysts. Good luck!
