Pregnant, miscarriage or early period???

My periods have been regular ever since I first I had them and my period (or at least it looks like it) came a week early.

As my fiance and I have been trying for a baby, I came off the pill and had my period as normal which ended on Tuesday 27th April and for the next week my partner and I had regular unprotected sex.

The bleeding started about four days ago and, for now, it seems to have stopped but it's been on/off quite a lot and when it does happen it's very heavy, thick and clotty.

A week before the bleeding started I had been having weird dizzy spells, constipation, needing the toilet a lot more, breaking wind, sore breasts, headaches, tiredness and just the feeling of maybe being pregnant.

Because I wasn't sure if it's my period come early, implantation bleeding or a sign of miscarriage, I spoke to NHS Direct last night and was told to go to the hospital where they did a pregnancy test which was negative. I know a test stays positive up to three weeks after a miscarriage but am confused as to why she took it last night when I'm not due on my period till next week????

She told me to take a text next week and if it's positive then I still need the doctor to confirm whether I am pregnant or have had a miscarriage but if they tell me I am pregnant then why was I bleeding a week early?? And so much???

I'm really confused right now, any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated endlessly.

Thanks xxx

After my miscarrige last month, my test came back neg after a week. I found out i was pregnant 4 days later it was gone, I am so sorry for what you're going through I really am.

Ask your doctor for a blood test it will tell you alot more, It could be either thing as you can have periods during pregnancy as my mum did with my brother. ALSO! You could of been pregnant and lost a twin as that can happen too and your other baby can be perfectly fine, The reason you miscarry is NOT YOUR FAULT, your body detects something wrong with the baby and naturally gets rid of it, if you are miscarrying I am so sorry, but there is nothing no one can do, they are unable to stop and prevent.
the Doctors can also check if your cervix is closed or ready to open.

Your period Might have come early? Take a the advice you have been given and take a test next week if it comes back neg but you;re still unsure, see your GP Because you CAN have false negative pregnancy test results.

good luck and I am hoping for the best for youu.

Try not to worry too much okayy :) xx
