Q: Pregnancy symptoms / Miscarriage ?

Ok. I was having off and on pregnancy symptoms for like a month or so. Then my breasts got really sore n I just thought that was part of the symptoms. I thought I knew for sure I was pregnant becuase I wasn't having my period at all. Then all the sudden my period pops up and it was pretty normal for the most part, except there was some clots like strips of blood. I don't think it was a miscarriage. Please help me out. I need someone that really knows what they're talking about. thanx alot

Are you on birth control?

Early pregnancy symptoms are very similar to the symptoms of an oncoming period. So that might be what you were feeling.

If your period was late, that could be the result of many things including stress and diet.

Clots in your menstrual fluid are also normal. They might sort of chunky or kind of stringy.

If you're still concerned, you could give us more information or talk to your ob-gyn. If it is possible that you had a miscarriage, you should let your ob-gyn know about it anyway.

Confused
Thank you very much.This is all so confusing to me because when I first thought I was pregnant I waited three wks after I had sex to get a PT n that came out inconclusive. I still wasn't having my period ( I didn't have my period for almost 2 months) and I was having pretty much all the pregnancy symptoms so I figured I was pregnant.... Now there's another thing going on. See I'm still on my period and for like the past 2 days it was red like a normal period. Then this morning it turned a really brown color, it doesn't even really look like blood. I'm still concerned about it. Can a pregnancy test come out negative if I'm having my "period"? If so how does that work? Oh and no I'm not on any sort of birth control.

A period or bleeding does not affect a pregnancy test.

Period blood can range from brown, to red, pink, even blackish.

Color varies, and that variance is normal.
