Late period or spontaneous abortion?

Onyi--

I agree with Pat. What you experienced was likely a late period. Although you are always regular, your period can change at any given moment-- it is not something that we as women should expect to never change because we may drive ourselves crazy along the way. Sometimes you will see that your period may be lighter, heavier, moderate, a few days early, a few days late-- the point is that as long as you get your period, you should be okay.

Bleeding is not a sign of pregnancy. Too many women have heard that you can bleed while being pregnant and while this is true, you will more than likely get a positive pregnancy test before any bleeding occurs. Spotting in very early pregnancy is a different story-- it is usually a light pink to brown spotting that is caused by implantation and should by no means be heavy.

I hope this helps clarify some things for you.

Best Wishes

Hi onyi - Thank you for writing and sharing your situation. What you've described doesn't seem to be in line with the symptoms of a spontaneous abortion, or miscarriage, which are as follows:
* Vaginal bleeding
* Pink or brown discharge
* Cramping
* Discharge of the products of conception (fetus, placenta, and surrounding membranes)
* Fever

Hopefully your period will arrive soon. Will you let us know?
Thanks, Pat
