hi,
I'm 27, sexualy active, had unprotected sex with my partner, i don't use any contraception. my cycle is normally quite short, around 21-23 days, especially in the summer when it's also quite light. Now my period was 8 days late, i've been experiencing very strange feelings, like bloated lower abdomen, sore breast, enlarged breast, fatigue, hypersensitivity to odours, mood swinging, weird cramping, heartburn, nausea, and also vomiting especially in the evening. i normally don't have nearly any PMS, i'm a very sporty person (i do any sport activity normally during my period without experiencing pain or anything), but these days my body just didn't feel like my body at all, i was literally dragging myself. this morning i woke up vomiting and took a pregnancy test (8 days late) and turned out negative, and then my period came but it's really different than normal, very dark and dense with lot of blood clots that i usually don't have. i also have some cramping and still vomit a bit.

should i go and see a doctor? could this be a possible miscariage? if so, is it possible to diagnose such a thing?

thank you for your help,

Mena

I'm 45. Just 2 wks ago, I was diagnosed severely anemic. My period had always been at least 7 days, heavy but not too many clots. A week or so before my diagnosis, I had my period 2 wks apart, but with lots of clots. Had a blood transfusion, was given progesterone for 10 days and started taking iron supplements. At the end of 10 days, clotting & spotting stopped. 6 days later, seemed to start my period yet again, but with more clots. Im really scared. Is it menopause or something more serious?

Hi I am 26, and have 2 kids already. i am pretty familiar with my body as well as signs of being pregnant. My periods are usually always at the same time lasting about 5 days long. The weird part is that I havent ever missed a period unless it was because i was pregnant, this time tho I havent had a period for 2 months. About 20 minutes ago I got up and as I did so i felt a little sensation and looked in my undies thats when I noticed a quarter size darkish red blood clot. I did have a little bit of cramps earlier in the day but I thought it could of been gas. My partner and I both felt in our guts that we were for sure going to be welcoming another baby into our family but now we are both super confused by the change of events. He knows as well as I do that I dont miss periods. We haven't taken a pregnancy test yet but our plan for tomorrow was to finally hear that we are having a baby from a Dr. at planned parenthood. If anyone knows what could possibly have gone wrong or be the cause of this and what they suggest we do next..we are both really sad about this because we love having mini us running around.
Thank you, any suggestions or possible clues/answers to this riddle would be very much appreciated!

Hi
Last time I had my period it was October 20th to the 26, my periods are very regular, but I spotted I spotted on the 6th of November then again on the 13th very light and it stopped then couple drops again on the 14th, on the 18th my breast gutted when I apply pressure on the side of my boobs, and one nipple is darker then the other, my period didn't show on the November 20th kinda got scared because my period are regular, I'm not stressing or anything but on the 23rd I end up getting a brown/pink discharge then bleeding and the next day's it was bleeding still but with clots, my breast are kinda sore on the sides when I do put pressure. I'm confused?

Hello Anonymous,

Please call your gynecologist's office to schedule an appointment. It is apparent that something is off to cause spotting between periods and of major concern, passing clots.
