Miscarriage??
Posted: 07-15-06 23:32pm

A couple weeks ago my boyfriend's condom broke and my period was late afterwards. I thought I was pregnant, but I wasn't sure since it was only a week and a half/2 weeks late and I didnt take any tests. Today a lot of liquid came out, like watery liquid and then I have been bleeding ever since. The bleeding was wierd at first it just came out in spurts, usually when I went to the bathroom, but now its flowing just like a normal period. I'm not too sure on what to do, since I havent felt pregnant, and if I was it was so early. Does anyone have any idea? I have a ob.Gyn appointment, but it isnt for a couple months.

If necessary, it seems that you may take Valtrex while pregnant. There are no reports today that indicate that Valtrex has caused fetal damage in pregnant women. Nonetheless, consult your GP about taking this medicine during pregnancy.
