Ok this gets a bit graphic, sorry. Anyway i am a bit concerned and spoke to my mum today who said i may have had a miscarage. A couple of months ago i went back on the pill after 3 years, everything was fine then i had my break and had a light period, half way through i went to the loo one evening to change myself. i never felt any thing but notice on the tissue a big round blob the size of about a 50p, it didnt look like a clot, it was too big and was kind of clear in colour, i called my dh who was a bit shock and adviced me to tke it to the docs ( i know his a man). Anyway i carried on as normal, started taking my pill again but every now and again i go the the loo, wipe myself and there is a lot of blood, its not everyday but i am getting a lot of cramps. Also theres more. before i started the pill again i thought i was pregnant, my period wasnt late but i became very tierd and moody and started feeling really sick so i did a test which was negative, i continued to feel ill so i went to the docs who told me to go and have a blood test, i didnt get round to it, cos of 1 thing or another. anyway what do you thing? am i just paranoid or could i have had a miscarage?
i did post in chat but only had 1 reply

it would show your hormone levels, which would indicate a recent pg.

jaynel · 14/06/2007 12:48

oh i see, this was just over a week ago, would it still show?

yes, it would show a level of hcg in your blood that is not yet back to normal if you were pg. a womens natural level of hcg is lower than 5 miu, if any at all. a blood test wil show if you have been pg recently.do you think it was just a heavy weird period? were you good at taking the pill in the month you may have conceived?

i hadnt started the pill when i thought i was, i did a test which was negative then went back on the pill. i had a 7 day break which was fairly light. but im still bleed fresh red blood now and again at the mo and im still getting cramps, ive been taking it without fail. does it sound like a miscarage to you, or doesnt it happen like that?

oh dear, i dont want to worry you but it is entirely possible that you have had a very early miscarriage. buthave your blood test and take it from there.

thank you lissie, if i have had a miscarage could it affect me having another baby?

no, the majority of women who have mcs go on to have perfectly normal pgs. all this means is that this pg hasnt worked out. bear in mind tho that the pill can do strange things to your body, lots of women have irregular bleeding when they first start taking the pill.

i hope your blood test goes well, jaynel

jaynel · 15/06/2007 14:47

have had my blood test but they said it wont show up if ive had a miscarge because they arent looking for that. do i just try and forget it or do i go to the doc's? ive only just started bleeding and ive been back on my pill for over a week now after my 7 day break
