It could be either one. Take a pregnancy test. If positive, go and see a doctor to make sure its not a miscarriage. If negative, assuming you havent had sex in the past 10 days, then consider that your menstrual cycle.

With me its different. I didnt really have sex. My bf tried to have sex with me and as soon as I felt the tip I pushed him away. Now for the past couple of days I have been experiencing pressure in my lower right side. As if I am going to get my period. I have taken a pregnancy test and it came out negative. Its probably too early to test for me. I have to wait at least until the end of the week. I am trying to avoid pregnancy. I really do not want a baby right now.

That sounds just like what's happening to me, except I don't have clots... Just lots of light spotting a week early for my period.

If you are experiencing bleeding, especially clotting please go to the Dr. Or at least talk to the drs assistant.
The very best to you!

You said that you had big blood clots.And light brown blood whell that sounds alot like a ectopic pregnancy to me.I know this because I had a tubal pregnancy and I had big blood clots and one sided pain I had all the symptoms of pregnancy and it turned out to be an ectopic so you should go to emergency and get that checked out cause if it explodes your going to be in trouble like you would not believe

Hello, I am experiencing the same thing. I am due to my period in about 7-8 days. I have pressure on my lower abdomen and it hurts to wear tight pants. I also have pain on my back, constipation and going to the bathroom a lot. I am not going to test for another 13 days. It is too sad for me to get negative results.

Baby dust to you.

Keep us posted and I will do the same

With me its the opposite. I am not sure if I want the baby but if it happens it happens. I just wish it didnt this month. I am feeling extremely stressed and working under enormous pressure.

You said that you were feeling sick to your stomach whell are you having one sided pain at all or is it just like menstrual cramp pain because I know if you have one sided pain it possibly could be an ectopic pregnancy but if it is just like menstrual cramp pain then you very well could be pregnant keep me posted

Me too. I took the hpt and it also came back negative. I am going to the clinic on friday the 25 to take a pregnancy test and have an ultrasound just to be sure I am not preggo.

They told me it could be an ectopic pregnancy and if it is I will have to have a termination right then and there. I dont have bleeding. I have brown spotting and right side pain. No bleeding but when I wipe myself I dont see the brown spotting. Its very weird.

Either way I am going the day after tomorrow for testing and possible abortion. I am very scared and nervous.
