QuestionI either started my period 2 weeks early or a miscarrage, i had unprotected sex on the 6th i started bleedin on the 12th im not due for my period until 25th, everythin about it is different, i started off spotting cramping then a little heavier but brown, i felt dizzy all day, i woke up sunday and it was heavy, and while at work passed a big blood clot i went to the doctor monday they did a pregnancy test and it was negative, but its to soon to tell they told me if im still bleeding in a week come back ,not much help for me. Im wondering did i have a miscarrage amd it was to early to tell if i was pregnant and if i will ever know.
AnswerHi Michele.
Any unexpected bleeding, particularly if heavy, can be upsetting. I think on this case you can rule out a miscarriage.
It takes approx 10-14 days from conception for an egg to implant in the uterus. As there was only 6 days between unprotected sex and your bleed, it's highly unlikely that you experienced a miscarriage. The lack of a positive pregnancy test just 3 days after your bleed (assuming that you had the test today) is a big indication. hCG can stay in your system for up to 4wks and it's likely it would have resulted in a positive test.
There is another possibility that you were pregnant but still had periods, but again that's even more so eliminated by the negative test as by now your hormone levels would be high.
Unexplained and sudden bleeding should be investigated, so it's good that you're under observation. Your bleeding could be caused by an infection, medication, the start of hormonal contraception (such as the depo injection, rods, the coil or the pill) or a sign of endometriosis.
It could also be a hormonal hiccup!
I would follow it through and moniter your cycles. If this happens again, go straight back to your doctor who should then investigate further.
I hope this has helped.
Kindest Regards
