Need closure and questions answered

So it's been a few months, but I still think about it every day as my wish in life is to be a mother and have babies one day. Well maybe too much info but here it goes..I had switched birth control pills several times because they all kept causing clots. Well one month I had a period like normal then about 2-3 Weeks later I began cramping and some spotting (with some clots) and I thought maybe I was irregular and having another period because the cramps felt similar to period ones but more severe. So after about 4 days of that, one morning I woke up to let my dogs out and felt a ton of blood come out so I ran to the bathroom thinking I just had a full blown period. When I got there, there was a huge thing of blood all stuck together, it looked like a giant blood clot that went from my vagina to the middle of my thigh, I was terrified!! It wasn't hard, but more soft and very clumpy. I isn't even think of taking a picture or calling for my husband because I was just so panicked and at first it didn't even pop in my mind that it could be a miscarriage because I had just had my period and because I have never had one before, I don't know what they look like. For about 3 days after this i continued cramping and spotting some as well. My husband told me no it's probably just a large clot and cramping for your birth control and told me to stop taking it. I haven't use birth control since then and I didn't ever go to my doctor because I didn't wanna pay a bunch for him to tell me what I didn't want to hear at the time. I went to the walk in clinic but she didn't say much, just "ya sounds like it could have been a miscarriage, but we'll switch your birth control pill in case" but I told he no and left. I am wondering if anyone has had a very early miscarriage before and can help me know side effects. I can only find info on later miscarriages, but of it was a miscarriage I had nooo idea I was pregnant and am wondering if it could have been something I did :( since I do drink and am very active and also smoke tobacco. Ugh please help, I have no one to ask because I haven't told anyone since it's a touchy subject except my husband and best friend.

Well congrats on the new pregnancy! I can tell you that some times finding out of your progesterone levels are good and help maintain your current pregnancy to some degree. Don't be scared to ask your doctor questions or have blood levels checked, it's their job!

Butterfli13.  I think that must have been what it was then because it did look like my insides were falling out, very scary! I didn't know I was pregnant so I thought I was just dying haha. But good news, I found out a couple days ago that I am pregnant :) if my calculations are right, I'm about 4 weeks along! Praying that God allows me to carry this on full term!!!

Hi, it is very hard to say. Everyones experience is different.I had a mmc i should have been nearly 12 weeks but was only measuring 6.i started bleeding lightly from the 12 th of June it got heavier after i had medical management to help me pass everything i continued bleeding until about the 7 th of July . i had what i call 2 big whooshes. each time was like turning he tap on . i did pass something other than clots .My cramps lasted  at least a couple of hours a few times a days until then.
My good friend who I also work with had been using birth control pills for a long time i think she had not long changed. One day at work she started having some sore cramping and feeling a bit sick. She had not long had her period. All of a sudden she started bleeding. The floor was covered in blood . The blood clots were huge. She went to hospital immediately and was told that she had hemraged. Don't know why it happened but told her to change birth control and offered her a coil instead.

It's hard to say! Switching bc pills a lot can make you have lots of blood clots, because your body is trying to regulate with the new hormone! Sounds like it was big. A miscarriage is like an organ/ liver consistancy! That almost sounds like the uterine wall lining, but don't know for sure. Not sure how long ago this happened but if it was recent, You can have your blood tested, or take a home preg test. If it was a miscarriage the hormone would still be in your system. The one I had at eight weeks was the size of my hand. Hope this helps
