    Was I pregnant!

    Okay so my last period was on October 19 they usually last about a week. On November 13 i got my depo shot, I was told my pregnancy test was negative so they gave me the depo.
    I know the depo shot messes with your period so I didn't worry about not getting my period on the month of November. This month I started my period on the 16th , thorough out this period I have had severe abdominal pain. And I mean horrible pain that even when i put a tampon in, the pain in my abdomin would get worse.
    I seriously didn't think much of it , I figured I didn't get my period last month so the pain must have doubled. Last night when I got up and went to the restroom A BALL of blood (about one inch) came out. That was the scariest thing I have ever seen, it has never happen to me. It was both red and whiteish. Right after that the horrible pain in my abdomin started to go away, and today my period is basically gone.
    I'm really hoping it wasn't a miscarriage. My husband and I have been wanting another baby but we know it wasn't the right time, that's why I got the depo shot. I'm really hoping it was just a blood clot.
    The pain is gone, so I see no need to go to the hospital. Plus I'm really scared they will say it was a miscarriage

    Are you going to see your gynecologist soon?

      It certainly sounds like it could be....but only a doctor could confirm that and if you wait too long I don't think even a doctor could confirm.

      If you don't want to know, which I'm assuming you don't based on your comment about not going to the doctor, then just be okay with not knowing. Be prepared for some hormonnal fluctutations due to the shot as you adjust.

        How can you say it's a miscarriage when you are not even pregnant. They give you a depo. They clearly told you about this. I don't think it is going to be part of miscarriage. The pain you had is normal. I have this pain forever. I don't know why. Not any of my friends feel pain like this. Only I have this pain with me. I feel this pain regularly and I don't know any reason for it. This is just devastating. I know it must be for you as well. Don't worry it's nothing to worry about. It's just with some bodies. I think we are destined this way. Just try to take care allot of yourself dear. May you get well soon and me too.

          Secondary dysmenorrhea is the medical term for excruciating cramps after your menstruation. Period pain and severe menstrual cramps are referred to as dysmenorrhea. For the majority of women, some discomfort during the cycle is normal. It occurs more frequently in maturity. Usually, these cramps are not too bad. However, it's crucial that you keep an eye on them, particularly if they persist. Miscarriages are different from person to person. Some people have painful cramping, while other women have cramps similar to their menstrual period. Call your doctor if you think you're having a miscarriage.
