Weird situation.....I'll try to be as clear as possible.
Ok, I started the pill in the beginning of september, the 6th I think, I had just finished my period. I stopped taking it september 16th because I had heavy heavy bleeding, and my nurse that I had told me if I bleed more than normal while on the pill to discontinue its use. I started bleeding sept. 13th and stopped the 20th. Well I talked to my nurse again and she said to expect my period a month after I stopped, which would have been around oct. 18th. Well it is nov. 1st and I just got it today.
In between mid-sept and now I have been eating a lot, but in the last 2-3 days it has slowed considerably. I just got a cold, but two weeks ago had a stomach ache for 3 days. My breasts just got tender this weekend, which made me think I might be either getting my period, finally, or be pregnant. I had no morning sickness and my nipples didn't darken or anything, but I was confused.
Ok, so back to me getting my period today. I woke up and, yay, it was here. What a relief, at first. Then at about 10:30 I started getting cramps, which is normal, they weren't that bad. Well at around 11:15-11:20 they got really bad, I almost had to leave class(im in college). Well I was walking back to my room and I almost had to sit down it hurt so bad, and I got to the bathroom once I got to my room. I had a blood clot about the size of a quarter, it was jelly like and dark. I don't clot often and when I do they are very small, so this concerned me. After the clot passed, I had no more cramps at all. A lady I know through a band we are both fans of had told me a story about when she found out that her depo shot was not working. She had unbelieveable cramps and then had a clot, and later found out it was a miscarriage. So this also concerned me.
I know it is normal to clot when you are on the pill, it is normal that your period will be irregular in the first 1-3 packs of your pill and that if you stop it will be irregular. But I also know that you can bleed normally when you are pregnant. I guess my question is what do you think? Could the clot be a miscarriage? Is everything normal(im not pregnan)? Could I be pregnant? I am not ready to go to the doc yet, I want to see what happens this week with my period, if anything is not normal. Im thinking of taking a preg. Test this weekend when im with my boyfriend.
Please let me know your thoughts, whatever they are.
Thanks
