Need Advice!! Please Help! Posted: 01-11-04 21:13pm
Ok to give a little background on my
situation...I am married and trying to
conceive. As of the 28th of dec. I have
had a so called period(earlier than my
expected period)....But it is different.
I normally have no pain during my period
and my blood loss is always the
same...This time I have had dark blood
with a very foul smell to it. The
frequency of the loss has not been enough
to use tampons much but it has continued
well beyond the normal span. Could there
be a problem such as miscarriage or
infection...I have had no fever...And
there is no worries of std's. Should I be
worried and go see a doc or what??! And
do you think I should abstain for having
sex until I know for sure?

I would call my doctor. Are you still
bleeding? Any "clots" or lumps of bloody
tissue? Abnormal cramping or back pain?
When was your last period prior to this
one? Have you had a positive pg test?
Those are some quesitons you will be
asked. If you are still bleeding you
need to see the doctor soon.
You might have miscarried. It is fairly
common prior to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
It is usually caused by the fetus not
being "put together right" and no fault of
the parents. Most of the time the mother
doesn't even know she was preg. But,
sometimes some tissue is left behind and
can cause bleeding and even hemmorage.
If that is the case you will need a d
& c to get that tissue and ensure your
safety.
Good luck
