was pregnant in April and I should have been 4 wks but hcg was measuring 2 wks so pregnancy started out wrong On May 30 I started bleeding and I was bleeding for 2 months and just stopped on July 31 During that time there was a couple of times where I bled like I was having a cycle and it went right back to spotting which is what It was doing the whole two months And right before I stopped bleeding I bled heavy like a cycle on July 28  So is it possible that I had a cycle during that time And before I got pregnant my cycle was 25 days is it possible that my cycle could change or will it  be the same I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance Answer tighteyez 1 558 8/13/07 12:26 am   cycle afer miscarriage Question Hi I was pregnant  in April and On May 30 I started bleeding my

still left in me Answer patchamo 1 694 8/12/07 12:26 am   suspected miscarriage Question Hello I'm seeking a little help on a situation that has been going on for about six weeks or so I had a miscarriage in february of '07 I bled about a week and afterwards had regular periods for the next few months up until June Since the miscarriage my husband and I had continuously been trying to concieve so yes we were having unprotected sex Well around June 23 2007 (my period usaually comes right at the beginning of the month or the end) I started to spot a very faint brown discharge The discharge lasted for eight days and it went from a light brown to a burgundy brown back to a light brown; it never really showed the normal red color Afterwards I began to notice breast tenderness dizziness nausea appetite change skin pigmentation ( breast and face started to show small brown spots) a sticky clear discharge and so on My husband told me that out liner of my vagina was turning darker by the day Clearly all of these signs and yet I continued to get negative hpt I decided to wait it out instead of rush to the doctor because with my last two pregnancies it took about two months to show a positive result Anyway in July I had no period On August 8 2007 I went to the bathroom and wiped noticing a very bright red color (looked almost like a bright red paint) along with terrible cramps The cramps lasted all day and night even while taking pain pills Usually with a period a wear tampons But for some reason when I went to put the tampon in I felt pain (I had never experienced this before) I got the tampon in but the pain was too much I had to rush and remove the tampon I continuously kept feeling like something was down there When I sat down with the tampon on it felt like a really bad gas along with pain; it kinda felt like something was pulling Of course there is so much to the story but I'm sure you have a clear understanding of what I'm trying to say Could you please give me your perspective on this situation thank you kindly Answer sdrhen 1 405 8/11/07 11:27 pm   M/C Question I had a miscarraige on July 24 2007   I only bled for about 5 days   I
