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

The warning signs of a miscarriage
include:
vaginal bleeding that is heavier than a
normal period and lasts more than 2 weeks
vaginal bleeding that soaks one thick pad
or more in an hour
vaginal bleeding accompanied by passing
large clots (the size of a walnut or
larger)
cramping that gets worse or lasts more
than 2 days
foul-smelling discharge from your vagina
chills or fever (temperature of 38 degrees
c or 100.4 degrees f or higher).
Believe me, when you have a miscarriage,
you'll know it. No doubt about it. I
don't think you are pregnant at all, and
if you were, you aren't anymore...So
taking a test isn't going to help you.
The best thing to do is to go to the
doctor, because if you did have a
miscarriage, you need to get checked out.
Normally, you would pass more than just
one large clot.

Not Sure... Posted: 11-01-04 23:47pm
Well im feeling like I always do when I
have my period right now, but once I
started eating a lot and not gettign my
period, it made me wonder if I was
beginning to eat for two. The stomach
aches made me worry, and now I have a
cold. But im not sure, not that I have
my period, im a little at ease with it.
We have always use condoms, every time, so
that was a nother reason that made me
think im not pregnant, but I might take a
pg test once my period is done just to
cure my worries a little more.
