I was nauseated and had even started eating pickles with everything from pears to pineapple sherbet. One day during sex I had a sharp pain and I stopped immediately. The pain stayed on and off for about three or four days. My period came a few days late and it's been on now for a week and it's usually no more than four days. I am a Diabetic and have trouble keeping it under control. Does this sound like a miscarriage? Also, if I go to a doctor would they be able to tell me if this is what has happened?

Go see your OB/GYN right away. They will run blood tests and perform an Ultrasound to see what is going on with you. I hope everything turns out ok.

Miscarriage Symptoms
A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks and it is nature's way of ending a pregnancy that is not developing normally. The length of the pregnancy will effect the number and severity of miscarriage symptoms.
A miscarriage that takes place shortly after conception can occur as a slightly late, slightly heavy period. Symptoms can vary from person to person, but there are common ones that generally occur:
Bleeding. This can range from brownish spotting to heavy bleeding. It is important to note that many women experience spotting or bleeding during pregnancy and about 50% of the time, the pregnancy progresses normally.
Pain or cramping in the lower abdominal area. The pain could be on just one side, both sides, or in the middle. You may also experience pain in the genitals, lower back, thighs, or buttocks.
You may notice that pregnancy symptoms like nausea and breast tenderness have subsided or lessoned. Be aware that some women do not notice any change in these symptoms, while others do.
Some women say that didn't "feel right" just prior to their symptoms.
If you are pregnant and experiencing symptoms you should contact your health care provider. If any of the following symptoms occur you should go the Emergency Room immediately:
Heavy bleeding
Passing clots or something that looks like tissue (bring the tissue to the hospital in a clean container)
A fever higher than 100.4 degrees F
Dizziness or fainting
A history of tubal (or ectopic) pregnancy
Severe vomiting
Severe pain the abdomen or back
If you have any uncertainty about the need to contact your health care provider, call him or her immediately.
Good luck

Changes in eating habits could just be cravings from your monthly cycle, which is what this sounds like to me. You don't necessarily get crazy food cravings during pregnancy, and most of my friends didn't get them until their second trimester, in which case you would know you were pregnant. I am not sure a doctor could tell... I don't know how long you think you were pregnant, but it could all just be a coincidence.

A friend of mine just recently miscarried and she described it as lots of heavy bleeding and a grey-ish "slug" looking thing coming out with the blood.
I would get to the doctor. They will be able to tell you whats going on.
Best of luck.

In a miscarriage you have labor pains.
See a doctor as we are not able to help you.
