How do I know if I'm miscarrying?

I had some signs of pregnancy last week or so. I could have gotten pregnant on Memorial Day. But I’ve had my period twice since then, the first time just a few days later…so I guess technically, the sperm could have met up with an egg after Memorial Day since they’re alive for a while. Side note question, can you get pregnant while you have your period? Anyway, yeah, I totally had signs the other week of early pregnancy…fatigue, nausea, insanely emotional, etc. Well, I just got my period a few days ago, but like last time, it’s a lot lighter than it usually is. This time as been insanely light. I’m almost over it and usually I have it for about a week. I just got it Sunday…early too, which is odd for me. Could I be pregnant and still have my period?

Also, all of a sudden, I’m not feeling right. It started with “twitches” in my stomach, then I started have pains kind of like cramps but different. I’m also pale and feel like throwing up. The intensity of the pains comes and goes. Sometimes it’s really intense, almost like a stabbing pain. When I got my period a few days ago, I had no signs that I was getting it, and again, it’s been insanely light. What’s going on?

Answer #1

You know you might wanna go see a doctor. You could have something else wrong with you. A ruptured appendix, for example, could kill you. It also sounds kinda similar. But since I’m not a doctor, just fond of Grey’s Anatomy, I dont know what’s wrong with you and I really suggest you go get it checked out now.

Answer #2

You’re asking if you could be miscarrying, yet you only say you are having symptoms of pregnancy, not that you are actually pregnant. I would suggest taking a prenant. test and find out if you are actually pregnant before you start getting worried about miscarriage.

I have heard of girls being pregnant, and never missing a period throughout their whole pregnancy, although it is VERY uncommon. so you could be pregnant. But those symptoms aren’t just early pregnancy symptoms, they can be PMS or some kind of virus going around. I just got back from the doctor’s today, I thought I was pregnant because I was having pregnancy symptoms but they gave me a pregnancy test and it was negative. They said I probably had a some kind of stomach virus.

Answer #3

But yea I would go to the doctor honestly.

Answer #4

sweetie, calm down you seem like your way too stressed out here!

first of all all the symptoms you have mentioned here sound exactly like pms symptoms…i always have my period changing sometimes heavy & sometimes light it may come for 3 days then stop then after a few days it will come back again! All the symptoms of nausea, sharp pains, cramps, i even get the shakes sometimes pale i mean seriously sweetie your body is going through this change at the moment…of course you are going to have symptoms. It’s all very very normal…nothing to be worried about…your going to feel bloated & gassy and irritated p!ssed off one minute and then emotional & start crying another minute…it’s all signs of PMS…not pregnancy! I would suggest getting a few(3) home pregnancy tests just as a precaution! If all come out negative and you are still worried that you may be pregnant schedule a session @ your gynecologist! If they feel that you need a blood test then they will give you a referral & then you will know for certain. Please just calm down & relax…it’s probably all this stress that is causing you to have your period stop & start all over again. Try some midol for your symptoms it may help!

Hope you feel better.

Thanks everyone. Just seems weird cause I never have PMS…and I usually have cramps at the least while I have my period. This time, nothing. I never said I was pregnant cause I don’t know if I am or not. I figured that I wasn’t since I’ve had my period, but other things have now made me wonder. Also, yeah, the stupid rules fo having to have your question start with only certain words limited how I wanted to ask my question.

I’m still curious how high the chances are that I actually could be pregnant are. The emotional swings and stuff was between periods…so like the middle of my cycle. When I thought then that I might be, I talked to a friend who’s been pregnant and after each symptom I listed, she asked if I was pregnant. I really don’t have the money for even one pregnancy test. Thanks again though everyone.

Answer #6

Well pregnancy tests can be as cheap as $1 at local dollar stores. Also if you have some type of insurance, you can go to your family doctor and ask for a pregnancy test and it won’t cost you anything. :)

Answer #7

How reliable are $1 pregnancy tests? I don’t have any health insurance. Otherwise I would have gone before.

Answer #8

you could be experiencing cramping in the lower abdomen and bleeding

Answer #9

How bad would it be and how long would it last? Like I said, I was supposed to get my period actually today but I thought I got it early. But yeah, no cramps or anything when I got it. Felt like I didn’t have it…no pain, no cramps, no nothing….until today. And then it was OMG, it HURT!

Answer #10

Not only have I not been cramping or anything, my period’s been insanely light…like freakishly light.

Answer #11

$1 preg. tests are the same as the ones at the doctors…

Answer #12

99.5% accurate

Answer #13

Wow, I did not know that. Thanks!

Answer #14

Answer #15

When i found out i was pregnant I got my test at a dollar store and it detected my pregnancy about 3 weeks after conception.
