In my first pregnancy, I had a ton of bleeding- bright red blood. It was what drs. call a "subchorionoch hemmorage." I passed clots the size of my fist- it was terrifying- but I delivered a perfectly healthy 9 pound baby boy- so blood doesn't ALWAYS mean miscarriage, but it isn't a good sign either. Best to see your doctor right away.

If you are on birth control pills and are taking them regularly, then by "unprotected sex" do you mean without a second method, like condoms or spermicide? If you are on bc then you should be fine, I used pills only and never got pregnant. It takes seven to ten days after sex for the fertilized egg to implant, which usually results in light pink/red bleeding if any. Take a test in the morning with your first morning pee. good luck!

I'm 8 weeks and I had dark blood 3 days ago after a day of alot of stress I though for sure I was having a mc... so I went to the hosp. and they took my blood and told me to follow up with my dr. to see if my levels were still going up so I made the appt.and they said I was good and that my levels were in fact still going up and were very high so...They told me I can go back to work but I still have a really bad feeling that something is wrong. Has anyone had this happen to them? Also I had a mc last time to.

I have gain 10bls. but have not changed eating habits and last sat. started getting sick after eating. I am merried and we use the old pull out trick. I have a 4 year old. Never had this happen to me before. It is Sept 1 and do to go to the doctors by the 8 if I don't get my peroid. I have no other pains or anything like being pregnent or signs of getting my period. I'm not wishing or trying. So what could be wrong with me? Has this happened to anyone esle?

Have you experienced any red or pink spotting.  It sounds like its just old blood.  I experienced the same thing early on in my pregnancy, and it was just old blood.  And to me..old blood is better than new blood! Find out for sure though!

I had a m/c with my very first pregnancy and it started out with similar discharge and then nothing for hours and then some more and then the next morning it was really heavy and I had to have a d&c (dilation and curettage) to remove the remains of the pregnancy. I am not saying that yours will end the same but brown or bright red discharge isn't a good sign particularly if there is any pain associated with it, i'm to believe. I'm so sorry that you have to experience this the first time around like me and so many other women. If it is bad news please know that you are not alone.

But if it does make you feel any better I went on to have 3 consecutive healthy pregnancies and babies without miscarrying in between any of them!!! I am now pregnant with my 4th baby (5th pregnancy) and let me tell you, I worry the same as I did when I was pregnant the second time round after I miscarried.  It taints every pregnancy thereafter, but it doesn't mean that you won't have another baby...it only means the due date will change. Thinking of you and hope that things turn out for the best.

If you are worried and you think you are pregnant You need to stay off you feet and keep them up. Until you see the doctor just to be safe. Thats what they always tell me
