I am so happy to find this part of the site to post on. I really would like opinions/advice as I am not sure what is going on with my body right now. To briefly summarize...I have 1 daughter (71/2) and have been trying for a 2nd child for the past year. I did one round of Clomid and stopped at the beginning of August. My cycle is typically 27 days long with my period being 7-8 days. This month just felt different. I think I ovulated around the 5-6th of this month. I started feeling nauseous and heavy/sore breasts around the 9th of this month. On rthe 23rd day of the cycle I spotted lightly for 3 days then stopped. I started spotting again on the 28th day of cycle and have been bleeding ever since (11 days on and off now). I did 2 home tests - 1 neg 1 pos. I did a blood test last Thursday (day 34 of cycle) and got the results back on Saturday. They were "Borderline between 5-20mIU/mL". The results said that "an inderterminate result may be associated with very early pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, or threatened abortion". They recommended that I do another test in 5-7 days to check hCG levels. Yesterday I had medium bleeding all day and then in the afternoon had bad cramping and heavy clotting/bleeding. I typically have very heavy bleeding / clotting during my regular period. I guess my question to this long-winded post is whether after all of this I could still be pregnant or whether I should consider my bleeding/clotting yesterday as a miscarriage. I have problems with cysts and have operated before because of them...so painful periods and cramping are normal. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before, so I am not sure what having a miscarriage would be like. Would it be possible to have a healthy pregnancy after this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
