I can imagine. I know what it's like waiting fro answering and not knowing properly what's going on. Let me know how the scan goes, hope all goes well!

booked in for a scan this friday, so will find out for good...fed up at the moment

yeah it's definitely strange. Your doctor should be able to get to the bottom of it though. A simple ultrasound should be able to tell you what's going on and if all is well.

thanks.. still feel pregnant. sick, etc.. but also feel like im on my periods.. with no real blood loss.. a real strange pregnancy.. i already have 4 children.. and had 2mc before.. and when i periods it pours out for well over a week.. with loads of little clots..but to only have one large clot and some blood.. then nothing else.. too spotting blood.. so not like me at all..

Spotting can be normal in early pregnancy. A lot of the time it's just caused by the baby burrowing in more and growing. However, since you were bleeding so heavily before that and passed a clot, it's possible that you had a miscarriage. It can take a couple of weeks for the hormones to go back down afterwards (which can still make a pregnancy test positive even though you're no longer pregnant).

However, some women have bled heavily and it was just caused by a problem with the placenta and baby is fine. Just prepare yourself for miscarriage because it's possible that's what it is. Tell your doctor all the information you have told here, they'll need to do an ultrasound to check it out. Best of luck.

Wait another day to see if your period starts up fully. If it doesn't, take an hpt using your first pee of the day so it's concentrated.

[Carly1306]

Have you taken a pregnancy test? It could be that you were pregnant and you did miscarry every early on - and that's what the clot was that you passed. If that test is negative then there really isn't a way of knowing if it was or not.
