Did I have a miscarriage???

[AWarmEmbrace]

Hi, my husband and I have been ttc for a couple of months now and recently I started to chart my temp on ff starting from my last month cycle. I normally have a 30 day cycle and my max is 32 but that only happened 1 month. Anyway, this following month I noticed that i had pink spotting for 1 day 2 days before I O'd and I had pink spotting on 10dpo which was said to be implantation spotting. I never had these spotting symptoms in the past so it was really amazing to me to recognize what was going on with my body, for a long time i was have trouble conceiving and didn't get pregnant since 10 yrs ago. But all my test came out great and my dr. said nothing was wrong with me. So, I was expecting AF on CD32 which was 14dpo the latest my cycle has ever been, No AF. On the evening of 15dpo I starting light pink spotting, 16dpo the same light pink spotting, 17dpo the same light pink spotting on and off. The spotting was always tapering off and coming back and was only when i wiped with tp. Then the evening of 17dpo light pink spotting turn into light red, then back to light pink then stop then red then back to light pink before bed. At 18dpo, I woke up @ 3:30am with discomfort and use the bathroom and noticed this bright red stain on my pantyliner TMI- when i started to urinate I heard a big plop sound in the toilet, so I stood up and looked in the toilet and it was a blood clot the size of a walnut shell and a line of clots that were connected to each other fell shortly after. Then bright red blood started pouring out of me like a faucet, I then started to get mild cramps in the middle of my uterus and the pain in my back was painfully increasing worse than my abdomen. About 3 hours later the blood tapered off and was light bleeding. I truely felt that i had a miscarriage cause this has never happened to me before. Although i had light symptoms like fatigue I noticed changes in my body and my temp stayed up at 98.6 above my coverline 97.9 from 10dpo until 18dpo ff named it triphasic. I took a hpt at 15dpo and was neg, but that didn't alarm me because my 1st pregnancy kept coming up neg. until I was 8 weeks pregnant. So, did i have a miscarriage? I appreciate all comments!

Thank you so much boston, I really do appreciate it. I wish you and your husband the same as well! It's been kind of hard for me because for so long I have not been able to conceive and once I did I miscarried something I never experienced. On top of that I have to deal with a death in my family as well so it's been hard and hurtful. But I have to keep my faith in GOD and pray he has a blessing awaiting the both of us soon. You 2 are in my prayers! God Bless!

First of all JoyRenee, I did NOT come on here for this last comment you felt the need to post. I did NOT get defensive and if I did I wouldn't have kindly Thanked you for your opinion and told you that I appreciated it. I just specifically clarified not "argue" my situation so people could better understand. It's understandable that people especially women that text or write something for the next women to read to take it the wrong way, especially negative people that take things out of context when it's not verbally said directly. If you were more open minded and positive you wouldn't have that thought and feeling that you had that lead you to post this comment that you've made. "Thank u but NO Thank you! Now I'm defensive!"

[JoyRenee]

I don't understand why people get defensive when they come on here for advice and argue with every little thing we offer up as an idea as to what *may* be going on. None of us are doctors so we can only offer advice based on what you tell us. I'm sorry to hear that a doctor did, in fact, confirm that you miscarried and wish you the best of luck.

Well, me and my husbands intuitions were right as confirmed my the doctor I did have a miscarriage yesterday. Thanks for all of the comments. God's willing we will try again soon. God Bless!

Women only have a 20% chance of getting pregnant every month.
Stress from trying to get pregnant, or hoping that you're not pregnant, can cause your periods to be irregular, and aswell as cause fake pregnancy symptoms.

There's alot of early pregnancies end up in miscarriage and women don't even know. But I don't think you had one. I think your body was stressed and made your period a little off.
It's happened to me before when I thought I was pregnant.
Just keep trying, and good luck! =]

Thank you for your comment spade, but the size wasn't exactly like a walnut that was my misinterpretation of it. It was more like a quarter. As far as a faucet that was my interpretation of it from the running sensation that i was feeling after the blood clot fell. It wasn't like a real faucet.

Thank you for your comment joy, i really appreciate it. Although, i have to disagree with you. I've already explained about already having a neg HPT until i became 8 weeks pregnant. So, for me hcg produces low in my body therefore when many women will get a positive HPT after a missed period I wouldn't. I have normal periods and this is by far out of the norm for me, and who's to say it was a period? Because the HPT came neg at 15dpo? Everyone is different, I'm not young so I know my body and periods very well so i'm not new to blood clots as i've never in my life had one that size out of the blue with bright red blood with a late period. My blood clots during my menses was never bigger than a 1/2 carat diamond when it WAS my menses.

I have to agree with JoyRenee - a walnut-sized clot would be unusual if you had an early MC and you should have a positive HPT.  That doesnt mean you didnt have a MC but it sounds unlikely (in my opinion).

I would highly recommend that you make an appointment with your OBGYN though.  Any time you have out-of-the ordinary bleeding/clotting ESPECIALLY in your case where you passed a very large clot and bleed like a "faucet" you need to be examined. There are several serious conditions that can cause these symptoms and its important to rule these out.

[JoyRenee]

If you had a negative HPT, then it most likely was not a pregnancy (especially a walnut-sized clot- you'd have to have been somewhat far into the 1st trimester for the sac to be that large).

It sounds like you had your period on time, even if it was a strange one. The clot was probably blocking the rest of the blood from coming out, hence the spotting before it came out and the heavy flow after it came out. Having a blood clot during a period does not mean you were pregnant.
