text: did i have a miscarridge??? my doctor never gave me a direct answer and i never had an internal examination done, i came off pill about 6 months previously, periods started regular but fluctuate every now and then but had always been normal, not much pain at all, then one month i had really  painful period pains, i had lots of blood clots and pain actually made me pass out at work. the thing is it was the day after my period was due, i thought maybe that was what my periods were going to be like from now on but my periods have been normal since, no clots and no pain, although i now have been told i could have trouble concieving because my periods are irregular and i only get about 2 a year now. so this make me think it wasnt and it was just a one off different period!! does anybody know if this could be or not?? you should probably talk to a doctor for real advice but i'll tell you what i think know. a friend of mine has a similar problem, and she was also told that she may find it hard to concieve, her periods can be very erratic and heavy and painful. its certainly possible you had a miscarriage but i want reassure you not to worry. i believe about a third of women have a miscarriage at some point, most very early in pregnancy and most women will not even be aware they had had one or were pregnant in the first place. so without being the doctor that examined you, i can't be sure if it was a miscarriage or a heavy period, i'd suspect the later as that is more common than you might think but if you have any doubts i'd recommend you speak to your doctor. x
