Q: 

If you cramp a week before your period, spot then bleed heavy for two days and spot after are you pregnant?

I started cramping a week before my period was due. I was spotting for two days then I began to have heavy bleeding for two days. After the two days of heavy bleeding I began to spot for two days and then nothing. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. My mom and sister thinks it may be to early to detect pregnancy but i think I'm not..although the period was not as heavy as I'm used to and the fact that I don't usually get cramps during my period. Should I take another test? Is something wrong with me?

Hello Anonymous,

With a history of a miscarriage and your symptoms, consult your gynecologist or health care provider. Another miscarriage is possible and the cause of vaginal bleeding and cramping.

Hello Anonymous,

You noticed vaginal bleeding 16 days before your period should have started. Is this correct?

Symptoms of a miscarriage include:

bleeding that progresses from light to heavy
severe cramps
abdominal pain
fever
weakness
back pain

A miscarriage can be caused by many factors. Chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus are the most common cause. Chromosomes are tiny structures inside the cells of the body which carry many genes. Genes determine all of a person's physical attributes, such as sex, hair and eye color, and blood type. Most chromosomal problems occur by chance and are not related to the mother's or father's health.

Lifestyle factors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, or using illegal drugs, can cause a miscarriage.

Anonymous, schedule an appointment with your gynecologist or health care professional to try to determine the cause of the early bleeding.

Regards,
Maryann

I need help with a similar situation. I am not tct but what I have been going through the past few weeks seems like I could be preg. I will start off by saying I am very regular with af every 28 days. The day before she arrives I get back pain then the next morning it starts very heavy for the first day but only last about 4-5 days. This month is very different I am very intune with my body and about 2 weeks ago I just felt something was different. I got a lot of back pain and my period wasnt due for another 2 weeks. I also had very sore breast, was an emotional wreck, tired, bloated and just felt off. So I am expecting my period monday as usual but friday 8/1 i had awful cramps (which i never get)on my left groin area and then had light pink bleeding the day after the bleeding got heavier and bright red (today, sorry for the graphics) and now just stopped to a brown spotting. I am just freaking out because my cycle never changes! I took a test came out negative but I still have some cramping and nausia. Thanks to whoever reads this novel and I hope to hear back.
