Miscarriage?

Question

I think I may have had a miscarriage(or still in the process)... I'm not 100% sure that I was pregnant. I was 4 days late so I took a test, one came out positive and the other negative. Then, 5 days later(making that a total of 9 days late) I started spotting. The next night I was cramping a little, but it wasn't too bad. It was far less painful than my normal cramping during my cycle. I didn't have lower back pain or leg cramping... and I normally get that so bad it hurts to move. Anyway, It's day 5 of the bleeding and it's pretty light right now. I'm not sure as to what I need to do. I've never been to an OB/GYN before so I guess I need to find one to go to? I'm 20 and just recently got married(we waited to have sex) and I was told I didn't need to come in b/c I wasn't sexually active. So that's why I have never been. I feel fine... no other symptoms... what should I do?

How is spotting different from bleeding?
Spotting is very light bleeding, similar to what you may have at the very beginning or end of your period. It can vary in color from pink to red to brown (the color of dried blood).

What can cause spotting or bleeding?
It's not always possible to determine the cause of prenatal spotting or bleeding. Because the blood supply to your cervix and pelvis has increased, it's not unusual to notice spotting after a Pap smear, an internal exam, or sex. Some other culprits include:

Implantation bleeding You may have some light spotting for a day or two at about the time when the fertilized egg burrows into the wall of your uterus. This is a process that starts just six to seven days after fertilization, so you wouldn't even know you were pregnant yet.

Miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy Spotting or bleeding can be an early sign of miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy, especially if accompanied by abdominal pain or cramping. (Bleeding can also signal a molar pregnancy, a relatively rare condition in which abnormalities in the fertilized egg at conception make it impossible for the embryo to develop or survive.)

Up to a quarter of pregnant women have some spotting or bleeding in early pregnancy, and about half of these women miscarry. But if you have an ultrasound that shows a normal heartbeat between 7 and 11 weeks, your chances of continuing the pregnancy are greater than 90 percent.

Infections Spotting can also be caused by conditions unrelated to pregnancy. A vaginal infection (such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis) or a sexually transmitted infection (such as trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, or herpes) can cause your cervix to become irritated or inflamed. An inflamed cervix is particularly prone to spotting after sex or a Pap smear. You may also spot or bleed after sex or a Pap smear if you have a cervical polyp (a benign growth). SECOND answerQuestion: My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant, and I'm a few days late. This morning I noticed I was spotting a little, but it's been a few hours and I haven't had any more bleeding. Is this my period or could I be pregnant?

Answer: If your period is usually right on schedule and you're now late, you might well be pregnant. Some pregnant women do notice some light spotting around the time their period is due. This bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus (a process that starts just 6 days after fertilization) but no one knows for sure. And it's a lot lighter than a typical period — just a little spotting over a day or two. On the other hand, it's not uncommon to get your menses a few days late every once in a while. The best way to find out is to take a home pregnancy test.

Pregnancy tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a placental hormone that your body starts making more of around the time a fertilized egg implants in your uterus. These home tests are now able to detect fairly low levels of hCG. By the time your period is a few days late, you should be able to get a positive result if you're pregnant. For best results, use your first urine of the morning (which is more concentrated so it should have more hCG) and follow the directions carefully. If you get a negative result but your period still doesn't arrive in the next week, repeat the test.

In the meantime, if you spot again or if you feel other symptoms such as pelvic or abdominal pain, dizziness, or lightheadedness, call your practitioner immediately so you can be evaluated to make sure that you don't have an ectopic pregnancy. (You may have an ectopic pregnancy even if you don't get a positive result on a pregnancy test.) A small amount of bleeding or cramping may also be a sign of impending miscarriage, but some women do spot for no discernable reason in the first trimester with a normal pregnancy.

If you do get your period (instead of a positive pregnancy test) and haven't yet scheduled a preconception visit with a midwife or doctor, consider WISH YOU THE BEST

Answer 3

Go see a GYN, you could possibly be having whats called a "missed miscarriage"

Answer 4

You could just be having normal period. Sometimes they don't come on time. Start Gonig to the OB, it's time. They can tell you alot.

Answer 5

You should see your OBGYN. Up to 40% of pregnancies end in this type of "missed miscarriage". A major sign of m/c is clots.

I suggest you make an OBGYN appointment as soon as possible.
