I know no one can definitively tell me and I will be advised to go to a GP but I'm just asking here to see if I should even bother.
I'm on the contraceptive pill, have been for years, all smooth sailing no problems.
Regularly (about once a week) have sex. Don't use condoms as very comfortable with pill usage and always been good about taking it?
I take the pill though as in I don't normally have a 7 day break every 3 weeks but do so about twice a year, I kind of get a feeling when I need one IYSWIM. The last break was in late March.
Currently in the middle of a pill packet, 11 days in. starting from about 6 pm I've had really bad cramping in my stomach like I'm on my period (I have really bad period normally). I have also felt light headed and hot. Went to the bathroom at about 21:30 and realised I was bleeding, unusual but put a pad in, took pain killers and assumed this was my body's sign it was time to have a period. I've kept bleeding quite heavily since but there's a couple of quite big gloops in amongst it and it's bright red rather than dark kind of brown like my periods normally are. I still have very bad stomach cramps.
I had absolutely no inkling I might be pregnant but the cramps hurt so much I started googling and this came up. If it's relevant I had a very boozy, drug, late night last night (Saturday)(last big night out before a friend goes away) so now I'm thinking if I was pregnant this probably would've damaged it.
Am I miscarrying or am I just having a strange period (mine are normally very painful and make me ill so this one might be worse than normal)
