I Need Some Insight, Please Help Me! Posted: 11-01-04 15:37pm
Weird situation.....I'll try to be as
clear as possible.
Ok, I started the pill in the beginning of
september, the 6th I think, I had just
finished my period. I stopped taking it
september 16th because I had heavy heavy
bleeding, and my nurse that I had told me
if I bleed more than normal while on the
pill to discontinue its use. I started
bleeding sept. 13th and stopped the
20th. Well I talked to my nurse again
and she said to expect my period a month
after I stopped, which would have been
around oct. 18th. Well it is nov.
1st and I just got it today.
In between mid-sept and now I have been
eating a lot, but in the last 2-3 days it
has slowed considerably. I just got a
cold, but two weeks ago had a stomach ache
for 3 days. My breasts just got tender
this weekend, which made me think I might
be either getting my period, finally, or
be pregnant. I had no morning sickness
and my nipples didn't darken or anything,
but I was confused.
Ok, so back to me getting my period today.
I woke up and, yay, it was here.
What a relief, at first. Then at about
10:30 I started getting cramps, which is
normal, they weren't that bad. Well at
around 11:15-11:20 they got really bad, I
almost had to leave class(im in college).
Well I was walking back to my room and I
almost had to sit down it hurt so bad, and
I got to the bathroom once I got to my
room. I had a blood clot about the size
of a quarter, it was jelly like and dark.
I don't clot often and when I do they
are very small, so this concerned me.
After the clot passed, I had no more
cramps at all. A lady I know through a
band we are both fans of had told me a
story about when she found out that her
depo shot was not working. She had
unbelieveable cramps and then had a clot,
and later found out it was a miscarriage.
So this also concerned me.
I know it is normal to clot when you are
on the pill, it is normal that your period
will be irregular in the first 1-3 packs
of your pill and that if you stop it will
be irregular. But I also know that you
can bleed normally when you are pregnant.
I guess my question is what do you
think? Could the clot be a miscarriage?
Is everything normal(im not pregnan)?
Could I be pregnant? I am not ready to
go to the doc yet, I want to see what
happens this week with my period, if
anything is not normal. Im thinking of
taking a preg. Test this weekend when im
with my boyfriend.
Please let me know your thoughts, whatever
they are.
Thanks

i recently had a miscarriage about 4
months ago. There was bad pain. I had
horrible cramps. I did have my regular
period and I passed a pretty big clot.
I went to my doctor after I got off and
come to find out it was a miscarriage.
I would get a blood test if I were you and
good luck. If you need to talk get back
to me
i am now 2 months pregnant

I had a miscarriage and it doesnt look
like a clot. You will get tissue or the
hole fetus will come out. It doesnt look
like a clot and trust me you will beable
to tell the difference or not. You could
be having a miscarriage. Its a good thing
to know either way. I saw dont wait,
find out and if you are, you will know
what to look for.

It could have been a miscarriage. I
miscarried a couple of months ago, and I
was only 5 days late for my period but i'd
had a couple of blood tests so I was
definitely pregnant.
My period was not any heavier than normal
but I definitely had more cramping, and
more clots than usual.
Since you've already had the bleeding if
it was a miscarriage chances are you've
expelled everything and the pregnancy
hormones may be out of your system, i'm
not sure how long they last in the body
after a complete miscarriage.
If you really want to know I recommend
getting a blood test, it will tell you
exactly what your hcg levels are. An hpt
can only detect levels from 50-100 and in
the case of my pregnancy/miscarriage my
hcg only got to 29 so it didn't even show
up on the hpt.
