Alright, so I have a question about miscarriage. My boyfriend and I, I having been on birth control (Microgestin) for the last seven months, decided to start having sex about two months ago. I take my birth control as directed, and we used condoms every time. I went on a trip about a month ago with a group of friends from college, and started my period a little early. Not to worry, I figured it was from one of the other girls on hers just started me a little early. It lasted a week. Two weeks later, I got another week long period. This last week, nothing. Now AGAIN I found it. The second period, was extremely bad, I passed a lot of clots, cramping, back pain, etc. I also had some weird white-ish colored something come out. I thought not a lot of it. It came and went. Now I’m on it again so I started to do research because that’s three times in five weeks. The reason I thought it might have been a miscarriage, and now I’m just on my normal period, is because of my mother’s history. My mom has had a lot of miscarriages, and I am very much like her, so it could be genetic is my worry. I asked some of my girl friends, and they had no idea. I looked up signs of miscarriage, including chemical miscarriage, and am thinking that might have happened. To have had my period, had sex, a miscarriage, and then another normal period. I’m really concerned, so I would appreciate any feedback that you can give me. Thank you! ---

welcome to the SDMB, **ejsign1216**. We ask that you not start more than one thread on the same topic, so I’ve closed this one. I also moved the other one to our IMHO forum, which is where threads seeking medical advice go. **twickster** , for the SDMB
