Help Please! Really Confused!?

Question

Hi, I would appreciate any POSITVE imput. My husband and I are trying to concieve a second child. We had unprotected sex the twenty-fifth and twenty-seventh of October. My period before that was on the 16th of Oct. Due to conclicts in work schedules and family visiting we haven't had sex sense then. On the ninth of November I had an incredibly light flow from that friday (9th) until late Saturday night (10th). Of course I thought it could be implantation bleeding or something of the sort. So I waited to take a test. Due to my previous experience, I know that it takes me a bit longer to build up enough HCG to show up on a test and was planning on taking one soon. So today, Wednesday, November Twenty-Eighth, I went to the bathroom and wiped and saw a little pinkish-red blood. I was baffled. Two in one month?As they day went on the blood turned basicallyblack and notclotty,very runny (sorry TMI). I was wondering if any1 had this b4? plz dont say go to the doctor. I am going butwant ideas?

Answer 1

i had a dark brown discharge for weeks before i miscarried, of course i didn't even know i was pregnant and thought it was just "old blood" from the month before, there is really no telling unless your doc confirms it, you could have had miscarried or it could be "old blood" from your light flow

Answer 2

You don't say how many days are normally in your cycle. If 28, then you certainly could have conceived from the sex on the 27th. Do you have any other symptoms of pregnancy - sore/enlarged breasts? needing to wee more often? nausea? bloating? tiredness?
Bleeding in early pregnancy can be a sign of miscarriage but does not mean that miscarriage is imminent. Studies show that anywhere from 20-30% of women experience some degree of bleeding in early pregnancy. Approximately half of pregnant women who bleed do not have miscarriages.
Black blood is old blood so its possible it was sitting in your uterus for a while before being expelled. The fact that it was very runny is good. Any clots or lumps of tissue would be a concern.
Some possible causes of normal bleeding in early pregnancy:
• Implantation bleeding is one of many normal pregnancy symptoms and can occur anywhere from 6-12 days after possible conception. Every woman will experience implantation bleeding differently—some will lightly spot for a few hours, while others may have some light spotting for a couple of days.
• Some type of infection in the pelvic cavity or urinary tract may cause bleeding.
• After intercourse some women may bleed because the cervix is very tender and sensitive. If intercourse causes bleeding you should discontinue until you have been seen by your doctor. This is to prevent any further irritation—having normal sexual intercourse does not cause a miscarriage.
• Then there are the many unexplained cases of bleeding in early pregnancy where no cause is ever really found but the pregnancy continues normally.
Of course there are other causes, like ectopic pregnancy & threatened miscarriage. However since you haven't mentioned any cramping or other symptoms I wouldn't be concerned about these at this stage.
If you do experience any cramping, the bleeding increases or you pass any clots or lumps of tissue, then get to your doctor immediately. In the meantime, I would do a pregnancy test. If it's negative repeat in a week.
Good luck!

Conception occurs when an egg and sperm meet in a fallopian tube. Sometime during the middle of your menstrual cycle, most likely between the 12th and 16th days, an egg reaches maturity in one of the two ovaries. The ovary releases the egg into the abdomen, where it's quickly sucked up by the tulip-shaped opening of the nearest fallopian tube.

An egg can survive in your fallopian tube for about 24 hours after it's released from the ovary. So the only way you can get pregnant is if sperm are present in your fallopian tube during this window of opportunity. If the egg isn't fertilized, it's shed along with your uterine lining during your period.

Typically, when you have your period, another egg is developing in preparation for release during the current cycle. But not every woman's cycle length is the same. Many women have a cycle that's about 28 days long, but some have cycles as short as 22 days long. If you have a shorter cycle, you could ovulate just a few days after you have your period. And considering that sperm can survive in your reproductive tract for up to three days, it's theoretically possible for the sperm to hang around until you ovulate again.

It's also possible to mistake breakthrough bleeding — spotting between your periods — for a regular period. So you may be bleeding right at the time of ovulation, when you're most fertile.

The time that it takes for an egg to develop, or mature, within the ovary can vary, and therefore, the actual day of ovulation can vary by several to many days. Some ovulation kits also base the "fertile time" on rising estrogen levels rather than the peak of luteinizing hormone, or LH, which is the actual trigger for egg release. In those situations the "fertile time" may seem to be longer.

So you may of thought you were having a period, but it was really spotting. Take the pregnancy test and be sure.

i've had 2 miscarraiges the pain from cramping was horrable i had light spotting and then i past a blood clot about th size of a lemon with the first one i was almost 10 weeks. the second onewas not as bad but i was only 5 weeks but still alot of clots. tmi i know. any way if this doesn't sound like you i probably wouldn't worry to much it's probably a really bad period. but if your are still worried or it doesn't stop deffinantly pay a visit to your gyno. i know you said not to say that but it is really the best advice i can give you.

Answer 5

After the toddler is born have the paternity try regardless. If the toddler is yours then it truly is yours. Now that changed into easy. yet, if the toddler isn't yours then 2 issues can ensue, you are able to settle for the newborn or reject the newborn. both way the toddler advantages to have a medical historic past of his organic and organic father and that area of the kin. followed little ones are often scoffed at yet they're chosen, in certain situations fought for and consistently wanted. it truly is better than some organic little ones can say. So what ever you do, what ever you opt for, get the newborn a medical historic past of his organic and organic father no count who which could be.

Answer 6

Cadence,
You would be very relieved if you took a college human sexuality class. They discuss all sorts of things, just like this. It gives you great understanding of your life and health, as well as your husbands. You should be able to find it at a community college near you.

We vary much more than what we are led to believe by the simple explanations we are often given. Worry adds stress to your system, and throws your cycle out of whack, and you don't know where you are with regards to pregnancy.

Answer 7

You may very well have had a spontaneous miscarriage. Many pregnancies end that way (30% ? ) and that could explain your second set of bleeding in the month.

Answer 8

listen i dont know, im not a doctor, but its possible that it could be a miscarriage. especially if the 1st was so light and second black. ive never heard of this before and i have 2 children. i know u dont want to hear it, but see a gyno. that should have been the 1st thing u did.

Answer 9

Could be a very early miscarriage or if you have been taking any medication that will effect the color and amount of blood you get in your cycle.
