After my last baby was born in 2007 via c section my tubes were tied. I have had no additional scares until this month Nov. Something just wasn't right, My breast were soar for a week, Late starting, and cramping mainly on the right side were getting worse. Last night, it got so bad I took two alieve, the headache, the felt like i was gonna be sick, and most of all the cramping never stopped. Later that night, I used the bathroom, There was this brownish blood, my best-friend told me to wear a pad just in case my body needed to pass a clot. Although, the cramping never stopped, the headache continued on I decided to go to bed. This morning when I woke up, there was no blood on my pad, still cramping, still have a headache, and now far beyond concern as i already had my suspicions. I had to pee, and as soon as I sat down within moments I heard this loud "plop" my heart sank, in my head i just lost my baby, although, i don't know for sure if it was, but im still cramping some... I guess I feel lost as I am not sure whats going on if my tubes have been tied.. can anyone help? Thank you.

I'm sure I've had at least one miscarriage after my tubal. The test showed a faint positive, like when I found out I was pregnant for the first time. Then I started bleeding and a large "clot" came out. I tested again 3days later and it was negative. This time, I felt like a period was coming on, but I didn't start a week later like normal. I started bleeding almost 3 weeks later (no pregers test) and several clots came out in the shower, the largest was a half dollar sized. I was shocked for a moment, but than picked it up. It was dark red and fleshy on the outer parts but grayish and (idk) lumpy on the middle. Did I miscarry? Note: "period" lasted for way shorter than my normal cycle

Hello Anon
We can't know if this was a miscarriage or not. If it happens again, you should keep a sample for your doctor to examine.
Some women develop huge clots later in their reproductive life - this may also be what's happening.
Best,

I too went through this. I was cramping, moody, my lower back was killing me. I took Midol and even used a heating pad to ease it off. Nothing was helping. My tubes have been tied for nearly 9 years now. I didn't think anything about it. I went to the bathroom and sitting in my pad was a huge clot that I felt come out but no more pain and few little clots. I have read about ectopic pregnancy and that it requires surgery. Everything that I have read and asked about points to miscarriage.

Omg so I went through the exact same thing!! Missed my period for 3 months after having my tubes tied fo 5 years. Light pink spotting here and there with pains in my left Fallopian tube. Went to the doctor and had negative urine and blood pregnancy test. After 4 1/2 months without a period, I started spotting and then kerplunk! There were 2 clear, bloody, mucous-like clots that fell in the toilet. After that the pain went away and passed several blood clots. Doctor thought I was crazy and water to be pregnant. Gave me a depression screening and all.

My tubes have been tied for several years now. Someone told me I may need a DNC because I passed a clot that was a very dark (almost black) clot that was very thick and tissuey. I haven't had a period in six months due to I thought I was oing through premenopausal, but the cramping is bad, the nausea is bad, I'm tired and I am changing pads that are overnight pads more than every hour ( more like every 30 to 40 minutes). I don't want to look like an idiot and believe me I know how that must sound but as I stated my tubes are tied. I don't understand what is going on! I took a picture if anyone is not grossed out easily and can give their opinion.

I actually have a question? I had my 2nd child in Oct of 2007 and later that morning I had my tubes tied. my periods were normal after for the last 7-8 years until just recently in Feb of 2015 I missed it. I just thought that it is from all the stress that I had for that month because I was going through a divorce at that time as well as I got kicked out of my grandparents house. I am now living with my fiancé and all four of the children. so like I said that at first I thought that it was just the stress, but now I am not so sure. I have been having a few smalls cramps and lower pain but I normally get those when I am about to start my period. but I also have a really bad headache for the past 4 days. I also have been fighting strep throat twice this month. so when I went to the bathroom earlier this morning I saw some white looking tissue and I also had some light brown to red blood. is it possible that I am having a miscarriage? like I said my tubes have been tied for 7-8 years now and I have never done this before. please help!!!! I am so scared. thank you.

Hello,

It sounds like you should go to the hospital with your symptoms since you are definitely having signs of a miscarriage.

These include:

  • Mild to severe back pain (often worse than normal menstrual cramps)
  • Weight loss
  • White-pink mucus
  • True contractions (very painful happening every 5-20 minutes)
  • Brown or bright redbleeding with or without cramps (20-30% of all pregnancies can experience some bleeding in early pregnancy, with about 50% of those resulting in normal pregnancies)
  • Tissue with clot like material passing from the vagina

Please go to your nearest hospital and keep us updated!
