Miscarriage!!!
Posted: 07-02-04 12:32pm

I took three pregnancy test and they all said that I was pregnant, but I went to the doctor because I was hurting and he said that I was okay. I ended up having to go back the next day because I was bleeding, and still he told me nothing was wrong, but when I got home I had a red, pink clot in my underwear, so I went to a different doctor. They did a ultrasound and took some blood to see if I was still pregnant and they said that I am, but i'm still bleeding like my period is on, do you think I have lost my baby even though the doctor said that i'm still pregnant? Please let me know because I have been worrying myself to death, because I really wanted my baby. Sad I need to know!!!!!

I dont think you miscarried bcuz when u do u will bleed really heavy, but if its like your period you are ok. Some people still have their periods when pregnant.

I was 8 weeks pregnant when I found out. I had been 2 or 3 weeks pregnant and had a regular period. I didn't realize I was pregnant until I missed a period. Yes you can have a period and be pregnant. Not really common but it happens. Also, if you're having cramping that also happens. It's your uterus stretching so don't freak out.

Natasha: another alternative test for miscarriage and molar pregnancy is your hcg count...It should be increaseing daily. They can measure your hcg through hemocrit (blood count) for an actual number, unlike a urine test. After a few days, they will have you come in for another one to see if it has increased. If so, you may not have anything to worry about, bleeding is common. And if you've had a second opinion, I would trust the doctor. If you are in your first trimester, you should be as carefull as can be, this is your most crtitical time in pregnancy. Unfortunatly, I had a miscarriage myself and this is how they tested for me. If you do have a miscarriage (and heaven forbid), understand that it is your body's "defense". Miscarrige is the spontaneous abortion that usually happens because there is something wrong (chromosones, etc.) with the embryo/fetus. Infact, 50% of miscarriages are unknown to the mother.
