Miscarriage?

I have been told that I couldn't have children. I'm 27 years old but have severe scar tissue in my abdomen. I have been using wild yam cream to try and control hormone levels for the past two years. My period is always on time but this month it was 6 days late, On the sixth day (Sunday) I took a pregnancy test which came back negative. Later that day, I began spotting. I had cramping like normal a week prior to the spotting that lasted until two days ago. I passed a grey clot on the second day and began bleeding a little more with one or two red clots but mostly pink or brown blood. The third and forth day I was back to barely any blood, mostly just when I wiped. For the past two weeks I have been throwing up some, been an emotional wreck and having to urinate very frequently. Could this have been an early miscarriage even with a negative test? If not, what else coudl it have been?

Hi!
I suppose that the test could have been falsely negative,  It is possible that you had a miscarriage.  It is also possible that the yam cream that you have been using has caused some abnormalities in your cycle.  If you were my patient, I would want to do an ultrasound to look at yoiur uterine lining--checking for abnormal thinning or thickening.
Good luck!
