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?

Hi I'm a bit new to this hut wondering if anyone can help. My cycle seems to have gone a bit hay wire this month normally its pretty clock work each month give or take 1-7 days either side of the date its due lasts for 7 days quite heavy then ovulate within the next week after it finishes. We are not trying to get pregnant so I have been using a diaphragm successfully for almost 3 years now too. This month my period started the day it was due was very light for 4 days then stopped unusual for me but didn't think much of it 5 days after it finished I woke up early hours with immense pain on the right side like ovulation pains but really intense I got up went to the toilet they went on a bit longer then they dissipated enough to get a few more hours sleep then I was woken up by them I got out of bed and had a gush of blood what I would normally experience on a really heavy day after getting up in the morning the cramps returned in waves throughout the day and I continued to get what seemed like a period no more clots than usual or larger (not really anyway at all) I have no history of fibroids or cysts and nothing was picked up during ultrasounds with my 2 pregnancies (last of which was almost 3 years ago) any ideas?

Hello Phoenix_6,
I would like to welcome you to the EmpowHER . My suggestion is to contact your gynecologist. Intense pain and heavy bleeding is reason for alarm and needs to be evaluated by a physician.

Hello Anonymous,
I can only imagine how frightening this must have been. I am guessing that you might have had a miscarriage, sometimes called a spontaneous abortion. Around half of all fertilized eggs die and are lost or aborted spontaneously, usually before the woman knows she is pregnant.
The symptoms include
low back pain or abdominal pain that is dull, sharp or cramping
clot-like material that passes from the vaginal
vaginal bleeding with or without abdominal cramps
Anonymous, to be safe, please give your gynecologist or primary care physician a call and report this. Considering the fact that you had unprotected sex on January 10, about the time you ovulated, there is a chance that you conceived.

Hello Anonymous,
I don't think it is worth taking a home pregnancy test. The heavy vaginal bleeding with clots indicates that you have expelled the lining of the uterus and any early beginning of an embryo.
I realize that your gynecologist is three hours away, but it is important that you schedule an appointment and plan to make the trip. Your physician will examine you and can determine if indeed it was a miscarriage. Then, you can ask any questions.

Me and my partner had unprotected sex on the 24and the morning of the 25th which is when I normally come on.. We've been trying for a baby for a while now so he came in me everytime..it started of light pink from the 26to 27 stopping and spotting. Now it's just a little heavier but not like normal periods. IT won't fill the tampon do you think I should go to the hospital...could I be pregnant or just my cycle
Please help
