Dear Falona,
It’s hard to tell without knowing some more of what is happening in your life. Our body’s cycles can fluctuate with our moods and the environmental changes and stress factors around us.
I’ll throw a few questions your way. If you can answer them and get back to me, I’ll see what I can do for you.
1) How old are you?
2) Does your period usually come and go like clockwork, always coming when predicted and lasting the same number of days each month?
3) Have you been under a lot of stress lately or been sick or on any type of medication?
4) Have you been involved in a new athletic or exercise regimen lately?
5) Are you on any type of birth control medication?
6) How frequently have you had sex over the past month or two?
Thank you,
Hannah

Hi Falona,
it sounds to me like a miscarriage. Usually, it feels exactly like you described – with cramps stronger than usual, often back pain and blood clots, the bleeding also might take a bit longer than usual (around 7-8 days). I experienced a miscarriage myself (my husband and I are trying for a baby) so I know exactly what it feels and looks like. You should be back to normal within 7-10 days but if the cramps and bleeding don’t go away you should see a doctor.

My period came on after 17days late this never happened to me it either comes on the day predicted or the day before now I have severe cramping and so far light bleeding with no scent no blood clots or unfertilized eggs are being released could it just be that my menstrual cycle decided to change from the month ends to the middle of the month that’s the reason for such a long delay? Having pregnancy symptoms but highly doubt I’m pregnant

I’m going through exact same thing. I am 21 days late on my cycle and have all signs and symptoms of pregnancy. I did a test after 7 days late and it was negative and was told by my doctor to wait two more weeks then come in for a gyno visit to do an exam. This morning I woke up with slight spotting and pretty severe cramping. As day went on cramping became almost unbearable, sharp stabbing pain in stomach and the worst lower back pain I’ve ever felt even my upper legs feel like they are cramping. The bleeding has gotten much heavier and now I have passed what is the size and shape of a lightbulb but looks like liver and jello. Gross I know but that the best description. Am I having miscarriage??!

Im going through the same thing. At 2 weeks late I got a blood test but was negative, but have had all symptoms of pregnancy. Went to dr and he thought I was pregnant, but testing too early so was due to have a scan two weeks later…got to day 16 and was up all night feeling like something was wrong, next morning I woke to severe cramping, diarrhoea and bleeding. Has progressively become darker and more heavy and passed a clot yesterday that was as described above with the pinkish colour on darker clot…still experiencing pregnancy symptoms including nausea but I keep losing colour from my face!

Im 21, my period is 16days late. I usual get my period every 28-30days.
I have light cramping my lower abdominal every night and yesterday I had a sharp pain in my lower back. Last month my period lasted longer then usual, its usual between 3/4days but it was a full 7days. I constantly feel nausea but no vomit especially in the car. I have no spotting and sore boobies. Yes sex does feel very much different I feel much tighter. Im under heavy stress as it is exam season as well. Could this be pregnancy?
