Long but please read. I need your responses!!!

Hey all,

This is going to sound strange. I think that I miscarried even though I'm not 100% sure that I was pregnant. DH and I have been ttc for about 4 yrs. I have never had regular periods so I don't know for sure how far along I may have been. About a month ago I noticed that my breasts were very tender. I just thought that it was an impending AF. But, I didn't start. Usually I get breast tenderness with PMS about 3 days before I start. Well, I never started. I also had alot of nausea but I get that alot in the AM anyway. I have been so discouraged taking pg tests every month that I just don't take them anymore. A week ago this past sunday I was at church when I felt a gush. I went to the bathroom were I found that I was covered in blood. (TMI) Also, there was a clot. I have never had a period start all of the sudden like that and never have I had a clot so quickly after starting. I continued to bleed heavily for about 6 days. I don't just mean the regular bleeding. I mean Having to change my pad about every hour or two. And it was Bright Red blood. Not the usual dark colored blood. I cramped all day on Sunday which is unusual for me. I had lots of back pain. Which is also unusual for me. Then on monday I had to go to work. I was bleeding so heavily that I thought I would use a tampon and a pad. But when I tried to use a tampon I noticed that my cervix was very low and sore. I'm not sure what to think. I have read what the other women here have said and I didn't think to inspect the clot. I'm sorry that this is so graphic and long. But can a doctor tell me if I miscarried a week ago?? I need help!

((((hugs Tanya))))

I'm not sure if what you experienced was a m/c. It sounds like it could have been. If I were you, I would call and make an appt to see a dr. I hope you are feeling better.

I don't know either if you m/c, but it sounds like maybe you might have. I would definitely call your doctor. They may be able to do a blood test to see if there is any hcg left in your system. If you did m/c it sounds like you expelled quite a bit and a d & c might not be needed. Anyway, I'd call the doctor this morning just to fill him in.

Lots of love

Sounds like it was a m/c, although probably early. That sounds exactly like 3 of mine - the others were farther along so I knew exactly what was happening. I'm sorry for your loss, sweetie, I'll keep you in my prayers.

The good news is that you CAN get pregnant!

Wow this is exactly what happened to me the last couple of days. I havent had af in 3 months so I never took a preg test because they are never postitive. Then all of a sudden I woke up and gushed and had huge clots of stuff. TMI
I went through 40 pads in 3 hrs. I was terrifed. I called the doc and said for me to go to the er because they didnt have any appts and due to the holidays they wouldnt be there the rest of the week. I never went I was hurting too bad and really didnt want to sit in the waiting room all night at the er bleeding through my clothes. I really think I had one in my heart. I have an appt on Tues so I will see what is going on with me.

***HUGS*** Regardless if it was a m/c or not, I hate you're going thru this. It does sound like a m/c. There's a link to my webpage in my sig and on it I share my m/c experience. Sounds similiar to mine except I didn't have the excessive bleeding.

If you need to talk or need anything, PM me.

Sorry but it does sound like you had a miscarriage, However it is important you see your docter if everything hasnt left your uterus it could cause infection and even more troble getting pg in the future.
