Early miscarriage? Please help.

I just started birth control June 22, and today is July 16. So I am on the placebo pill therefore I am on my period! But yesterday at work my cramps were almost unbearable. I was on the 3rd day of the placebo and I thought it was just my period. But my doctor told me the cramps would almost disappear on birth control. Well anyway I bled through a regular tampon within 3 or 4 hours and when I took it out a clot of blood about the size of a 50 cent peice came out. When I got home I took out another tampon and it had tissue-like material that I could just peel off. Did I have a miscarriage?
Thanks for your help.

Hello mariah,

Blood clots oftentimes, comes with one's period. I don't think you miscarried. A heavy period, long period of standing, lifting, changes in one's hormones, there are a vast number of reasons that blood clots form. I wouldn't be overly concerned at this point, however, if you should see larger clots with unbearable pain or if this consists over another day or two please see your doctor.

Good Luck,

Faded Rose
