» mysticbutterflys - Am I Having a Miscarriage!?


Hello, I am very concerned and I don't see my doctor until Monday! I am on my menstral cycle right now, and I am having blood clots today. A month and a half ago I had a very bad episode with my stomach ... thought I needed to go to the bathroom, so I went in to go and not even 30 seconds later I had collapsed to the floor in sooo much pain!! Alls I could do was whisper it hurts, it hurts!! I had another episode yesterday but it felt more painful, and it went into my lower back. The first episode I had after 10 or 20 minutes I was able to get back up on the toilet seat, but I vomited right after wards. Then I was fine. A week later I got sick again, while I was in the shower. Then a couple days later I got sick again numerous times. A week ago Monday I had the runs and yesterday I had my second episode, along with the runs and I got sick after supper last night. Now today I have had blood clots and my blood is just running right out of me and I also had the runs today!! I have never had a miscarriage so I don't know what to expect! Can someone please respond, and give me ideas if it might be or not!? Like I said I go to the doctors on Monday, but I just want to know whta kinds of things to expect! While I was having these episodes I was able to breathe but it was very painful!! And the one I had yesterday was also in my lower back!! Someone, Please Help Me!!??

Your symptoms definitely require that you be seen by a doctor or primary care provider as soon as possible. It is very hard for anyone to diagnose a miscarriage based on your symptoms without some testing and discussion.

I don't know if I'm having a miscarriage or not. Can you help? For 2 days I've been having this brownish-black discharge with clots. Can you tell me what this means?

» cyrem - miscarriage?


hi.. im exactly 3 weeks delayed(21 days) and today my period came.. is this just a normal period or a miscarriage..? i had a pt before on my 14th day and it was negative but i planned to do another test because it could be just to early.. but i forgot until i had this period today.. i've been stressed these days but i gained weight and just yesterday i had to do some curl ups and push ups for our exam that stressed me a lot.. and also today being a leader for this project which has failed caused me so much pain and made me really depressed and shocked. i had strange cravings, breathlessness, fatigue, and sore breasts BEFORE(if having sore breasts is as early as the 1st week of being pregnant?) i mean.. should you feel pain in your breast as early as the 1st week of being pregnant? thanks a lot!!

Did you ever find out if you were having a miscarriage. A friend of mine is having the same symptoms and is afraid she may be having a miscarriage also. The only thing is that she also has fibroids so she is wondering which is causing the brownish-black discharge with small clots. She also said it does not smell like blood from her menstrual cycle, the flow is irregular and it has been happening for almost three weeks.

Have you had a positive pregnancy test?

I cannot give you any advice about what your health situation might be. Please consult with a pregnancy clinic if you do not get your period.

» Lizzie78 - Please help


Hi, I am just 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. I took a pregnancy test on Wednesday, it was positive. My Dr. is away from the office for another two and a half weeks. On Friday Morning I woke up and went to the bathroom. I had about a tablespoon of bright red blood as well as what looked like not clotting but little bits of dirt. I went to a walk in Dr. that morning and he gave me another preg test that also said positive. He told me to take it easy and visit my Doc when he is back, but if I started to bleed heavily with cramps to go to emergency. I had no more bleeding Friday, but I did have a small amount of mucus with a dark red/black streak through it. Saturday I had no bleeding. Now I am feeling like I can't possibly wait 2 1/2 weeks for answers. I don't know what to do? Any advise or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Some moms do have some spotting in the early weeks and continue to carry their pregnancy to term. If you are not cramping and continuing to bleed, you may be fine.

Check in with your care provider as soon as you are able to put your mind at ease.
