I've had menstrual issues since the age of 13. I was almost never regular, and I was placed on birth control at the age of 18. I stayed on the pill for about 6 years, but with the rise in cost and the loss of a job I stopped taking it. I would go 3-5 months without a period and then get one lasting for about a week. Occasionally I would visit my gyno and she would give me pills to bring my period on, but each time I knew I was going to be told "you need to lose weight". That is exactly what I started doing, and after losing just 15 lbs I started my period. However, this is not like any other period I've had; there are virtually no clots and the blood is bright red. I soak through the super pads every 2 hours. The cramping is nothing out of the ordinary, but after consulting a friend who is a nurse, she believes I may be having a miscarriage. I did have unprotected sex with my significant other within the last 5 months, but his diabetes and other health conditions prohibit him from acheiving the ejaculation stage so this is why I am very confused. Has anyone out there experienced something like this?
