symptoms of miscarriage?
Posted: 04-29-08 18:20pm

I have had some slight symptoms of pregnancy, but didn't do a test as I have been using contraception. However I have since had 2-3 weeks of unusual bleeding, abdominal pains on the lower left (I have pcos but this pain is much lower) the pain would feel as if it was spreading when it intensified.

The bleeding is unusual and not at all what I would normally see from a period. Some days it's heavy and some days it's not as bad but the blood is changing to bright red to a browny colour but again I've not seen blood like it before from a period. there have been fewer clots than I would normally have (I have a blood defect and there are usually a lot of clots) and a light red oval clot thing that didn't look right, it was about the size of the end digit of my thumb.

Yesterday I did two tests which both came up with a slight blue mark on the positive line which then faded, but the test I did today showed nothing (but I did this one in poorer light conditions) so I am unsure of what this means.

I have also been more tired than usual and for about a week leading up to and another week and a half during the bleeding I would have dizzy spells where I would almost collapse if I was standing or feel like I was falling if I was sitting or laying down.



I have listed most of the symptoms and I hope someone can help me.

Thanks,

It sounds like a miscarriage especially what you describe as a clot the size of the end digit of your thumb.

I remember something like that happening to me in 2005. I heard something fall into the toilet and I flushed the toilet quickly because I was so scared and never wanted to look.

Sorry about your loss.

Always
