i had my period and it lasted more than one week and my regular periods only last 7 days and then a couple days later i had really bad stomach pains and then yesterday i,m bleeding again and this time has been heavy for a couple days and is slowing down now. but its hard for me to know whats going on partly because my periods are always irregular but i really want to know because my husband and i really want to have a baby but we were not trying yet and to find out i might have miscarried is really hard

Answer

Thanks for the additional information. You can take a home pregnancy test to see if you were pregnant. Tests remain positive for several weeks, even after a miscarriage.

Answer

First of all, once you have a period, it takes at least a couple of weeks to ovulate to even have the possibility of conception; then at least another week for a fertilized egg to implant in the lining of the uterus. Since it was only a couple of days between the end of a regular period and the beginning of bleeding again, there was no possibility of a fetus to cause bleeding. There are many reasons for prolonged periods including stress, infection, inflammation, fibroids, ovarian cysts, and many more.

 

I cannot speak to the impossibility of not having beta hCG high enough to detect until 6 months, since by that time it has reached its zenith, and is declining. The hospital should have its equipment checked. The odds that what you had was a miscarriage are next to nil (and that's giving it the benefit of the doubt). In any event, even if it had been a miscarriage with the slightly longer than normal period, no treatment would have been necessary if it was less than about 6-7 weeks since your previous period.

i apprecaite your help. so you are saying that i probably did not have a miscarraige? if not than what happened? and my period finished about the ninth of oct. then i started bleeding again the 13th or 14th and inbetween was the really bad stomach pain. i couldnt hardly breathe or eat or anything if i moved it hurt so bad i almost started crying so i just really need to know what happened. a miscarraige was just what someone told me they thought it was. but i really do appreciate your help

Accepted Answer

It would more likely have been a ruptured ovarian cyst that caused all the abdominal pain. It could even have been viral gastroenteritis causing the pain. Any infection can cause irregular bleeding. I really doubt you had a miscarriage.
