Aa
Spotting
My period is not due for five/seven days but I have had BAD crampings for like a week and then today I had loose stools and when I wiped I had, like, red tinged mucous? so I figured my period was starting. Then about five hours later I went to the bathroom again, and on my toilet paper pad (I was in a hurry!) there was a grayish area with no blood about quarter sized. It was not a clot, just like, old blood maybe? or mucus? i'm not sure. it didn't smell bad either.
my periods have been weird since i went off bcp's. i had two periods, then none for 3 months, then 2 months apart, then 1 month, so i figured it's slowly getting back to normal.
Pregnant? Weird body? Normal?
Help! Any advice please!

From experience, It does sound like you just miscarried. Sorry to hear. The grayish matter you found was fetal tissue. The cramping, this is how it was explained to me, was your internal fight, the body trying to expel the fetus and the fetus trying to remain viable. Sadly the fetus was not viable.
Good news is you got pregnant this time, so you at least know you can conceive, you are lucky some woman never even experience this part of the reproduction cycle
I have had 6 miscarriages and 2 live births, one miscarriage being 6 months gestation.
I am not an overly religious person but I do believe that, a miscarriage as traumatic as they may be, are Gods way of keeping you and baby from something even more devastating down the road. Like a mixed blessing.
I would give your body at least one month to recoup before trying to have another try at getting pregnant.
Good Luck with your next pregnancy!

Has anyone had something like this and turned out to be pregnant? We just use condoms, and sometimes aren't as careful as we should be
