Question I'm very confused right now I was supposed to have my cycle on the 14th and it normally lasts for 8 long heavy days Instead I had it on the 10th and it only lasted until the 13th It was rather light and so I would hardly classify it as a cycle My husband and I were together on June 1st so could this have been implantation bleeding It wasn't really accompanied by any cramps either which I thought was strange however I have been getting daily cramps that are light I took a pregnancy test on Friday morning and it was negative so what could this be Any suggestions Sorry this is so long Thanks again Suzanne Answer suzanne32 1 613 6/17/07 11:24 pm   multiple miscarriages Question i have had 2 prior miscarriages and i found out i am was pregnant my hcg level was 736 and i was 4

my long story first 9/18/98 I have a tubal ligation 5/5/06 I have a D&C hysteroscopy and laaparoscopy for heavy bleeding and 8/28/06 I found out I was 5 weeks pregnant The doctor had me get my hcg level check every other day He stated that it was a normal pregnancy The level was increase but not doubling 9/3/06 I was told that I was in the process of having a miscarriage and then on 9/5/06 it occurred The doctor told me that if I got pregnant then I can get pregnant again My husband insisted that I got a second opinion I did and a hysterosalpingography was done and They said it was a miracle I got pregnant bc both tubes were block We could only see one tube which was the right tube but the left one was not seen The doctor office called and gave me the record and stated that both tubes were block but there could be a microscope opening So I decide to get in touch with a doctor that do tubal reversal and they have me losing weight so it will not be hard to get pregnant once the tubal reversal is done My question is do you think it possible to get pregnant again without the tubal reversal Why the left fallopian tube didn't show in the procedure It have been hard for us since this happen bc now we want another child Answer Quiana31 4 897 6/13/07 11:50 pm   Acupuncturist Question Hi Victoria I took your advise I will be starting my very first treatment today Of course I am

obgyn put me on 10 days of progesterone That seemed to stop the spotting but the last 2 cycles have been 26 and 27 days (I'm usually 28 29 days) with light spotting 3 to 4 days before AF actually started Enough spotting that I had to wear a panty liner My family doctor put me on 10 days of progesterone starting on day 19 for the next 3 months Plus told me if I get pregnant I may have to continue progesterone and that's what possibly caused my first miscarriage What is your opinion Also I know you've recommended natural ways to balance hormones to other people Can you please tell me what they are so I can try them I'm trying to do whatever I can to avoid another miscarriage Thanks so much Answer KellyS 1 636 6/13/07 7:46 pm   False positive?
