I had severe pains in my womb about a week ago, and very strange heavy bleeding, that had clots in it. I assumed I was having a miscarriage as that's what everyone told me they thought it was. I have since been experiencing frequent headaches, dizziness and faintness and nausea as well as tingling and numb hands. I also need to pee frequently. I'm worried that maybe I could still be pregnant, but is this possible after having had a lot of bleeding?

Go to Planned parenthood or your Health department. There are so many places out there that do free pregnancy tests, don't wait and fool around with your health.

You need to go to a women's health clinic NOW. Look in the yellow pages where you live and see what your options are. Call first & see if they have free/reduced rates for low income & if you can qualify. Most cities/towns have crisis pregnancy centers that will do pregnancy testing for free. I'm not an fan of Planned Parenthood because I am personally against abortion, but their clinics do offer other services like what you need, and they may be of help to you.
Over the counter pregnancy tests are available in most pharmacies and usually cost around $10-15. If you can scrape that up, it will at least answer your basic question, but it sounds like you have some other health things going on that need attention.
At the very least, go to a website like WebMD and type in your symptoms and see what it says. Please don't ignore this--it could be something serious, or it could affect whether or not you will be able to have children in the future.

prego test are under 3 bucks how an you not afford that?
maybe you should go to the Dr. and not ask a bunch of ppl on a web site...the second i would have those kinda pains or alot of bleeding i would be at the ER no matter the cost
think about your body and take care of it

How much does one of those EPT things cost??? hmmm worth as much as your health I would expect.
This sounds like a serious problem. If you cannot afford high priced health care...go to a clinic and get some professional help. If you don't go now...then just wait and then it will cost a lot more to stay in a hospital and have surgery...your choice...

THis could be an ectopic pregnancy (the fertilized egg is the ovarian tube and not in the uterus) which is EXTREMELY serious. Money or no money-go to the doctor. Even if this isnt an ectopic pregnancy or normal pregnancy, something is wrong. GO TO THE DOC RIGHT AWAY.

try the generic brands of a test, i know they are a pain in the butt but even the dollar store has cheap ones, you need to be sure, and if your not preg then def check to the doct, this could be something serious
lets hope its not
but try the dollor store or kmart or somewhere for a cheapy test to just check

Planned Parenthood can help, but seriously, tests aren't expensive anymore- probably less than your daily latte at Starbucks

If you had sex at any time of course you could be pregnant.
Get a pregnancy test. Get your partner to pony up the dough.

You need to get to a clinic right away and have blood tests done... and next time, please be more careful. If you can't afford a pregnancy test, how r u going to afford a child?
