Period concerns after natural miscarriage?

we have been ttc for almost 6 yrs. I have severe-stage 4 endo. I also have been living with bipolar disorder for almost 20 yrs. I do take my meds regularly and see a Psychiatrist.In spite of meds I do have smaller breakthrough episodes of mania or depression-over the last decade, they have occurred around every four years or so. Despite our efforts I was unable to get pregnant until recently. I was really surprised to find out i was pregnant on halloween-I had two positive hpts. The next day I had another so i went in for a blood test. That was positive too, however since I am considered high risk they did a series of hcg blood serum level tests. Nov 11 I started spotting but assumed it was normal. I was wrong to assume that. That morning my beta had been 319 but by Monday it was done to only 40. I was diagnosed with a natural miscarriage. My dr felt since i was not that far along everything would pass on its own. Also he did not feel a D and C would be necessary at this point.My pysch.dr asked that we use condoms again -for at least a month-and we did with two exceptions. The night the miscarriage started we had unprotected sex- i was just in so much pain i thought it would help. Then on nov 23 we did again but only because I had not been sleeping good at night, was still in alot of pain and emotionally very upset about the miscarriage. I seem to have started what i assume is my period yesterday.I know that some believe pregnancy can “cure” endo. I don’t know what to believe about that but my periods started getting way lighter and less painful last may. not sure if getting older has something to do with that i am 37. Anyways at first with this period a few days before it even started was clear mucus and a tinge of brown and pink on my tp. Yesterday it was very light still just brown and pink-kinda like spotting. This morning i woke up with my whole pad soaked-it was a thin days type-and the worst killer cramping possible.I currently had some pain meds tye3 for tooth infection. I took one on an empty stomach(very dumb). I am also on some other antiboitics along with my pysch meds. I took a very hot bath. I got dressed and then felt like i was going to faint. I sat on our living room couch and puked into a small trash can next to the couch twice. Mostly bile and water. The pain is slowly getting better but for a while it felt as bad as the miscarriage itself-like actual contractions.Also my flow seems heavier, the color today is closer to red or a reddish pink..My question is -is it normal for a period following an ealy miscarriage-my LMP was 9/30/11 and I miscarried on 11-11-11, to be very very painful? My second question is could my endo just be back? Also is there any way miscarriages can be misdiagnosed if they are only keeping track of hcg blood levels? Last could i be pregnant again-could this be early pregnancy spotting and not even my period? I took a hpt on saturday which was negative but i think i took it to early.I would take another but my husband is convinced that period type bleeding would throw off the test.(i know that it does not but do not feel like wasting a test if it is positive and then he just does not believe me.)

Some difficult questions about a very accidental pregnancy? Please no bashing.?

I am twenty one years old and have a twenty month old child. When I became pregnant with our son, I was a senior in high school. My parents suggested that I drop out and get my GED so that I could start and finish college a year earlier than I would have if I’d stayed in high school. However, as soon as my second trimester began, I was so ill that I was put on bed rest and was not able to achieve my GED. I gave birth to my son when I was nineteen and three days later I had to have a blood transfusion. I was so sick that for the next six months, all I could do was stay at home with my son. My son’s father had a job at the time and made minimum wage but I also had a family who was incredibly supportive and helped us out a great deal. When my son was six months and I began pumping and my anemia had finally been one-hundred percent treated (after another blood transfusion) I began a seasonal job at a local retail store, but because it was a seasonal job I was laid off by New Years. Since then, I’ve been generally unemployed except providing occasional childcare services. My son’s father is also unemployed but occasionally works odd jobs (yard work, etc.) We’ve been living off of savings (which are now incredibly limited) and my son and I have been living with my father while we’re not able to afford a place to live. I’ve been searching high and low and filling out applications left and right. I filled out thirty job applications in two months and called numerous places after putting in applications but no one in my area is currently hiring. With just the one child, we’re barely able to scrape by. I have no medical insurance and the money that we do have for medical expenses always go towards my son’s pediatrician bills (thus I don’t have birth control or anything other than Natural Family Planning and Pull out method since I’m allergic to latex in condoms). To make matters more difficult, my son is special needs with a developmental delay and when I’m not “working” with other children I spend several hours a day putting to work the skills I’ve learned in his early intervention program and though we’ve made GREAT progress, he still needs that help.

NOW to for the bigger problem. Last month was my son’s father’s birthday. We had an overnight babysitter for the first time since our son was born, so we stupidly had a few drinks too many. Under my normal cycle, I wouldn’t have been ovulating for another week so I didn’t think there was anything to worry about. But what I’d forgotten was that my period had come a week early in October and had apparently changed my ovulation cycles. After a few drinks, we had sex completely unprotected. I thought he’d pulled out until I felt a kind of burning that I usually only feel when he fails to pull out. I was worried briefly but then realized I shouldn’t be ovulating until the next week and so I didn’t think anything more of it.

So a few waeks later we had a babysitter again and I had a few too many drinks again. This was before my missed period and I had no idea, but at the time I was pregnant, and I’m terrified that I’ve given the baby FAS. Furthermore, when I DID find out I was pregnant, I had been getting over the flu and had used nyquil.

Now that I know I’m pregnant I’m faced with an incredibly hard decision. I can barely support the child I have and I don’t know if I’ll be able to find a steady job any time soon. I believe abortion is okay for others, I guess, but it’s not right for me because I know I would feel guilty for the rest of my life. This pregnancy is SO unplanned and I was absolutely devestated when I found out I was pregnant, but over time and with a lot of prayer and meditation I want the baby, but at the same time I don’t know if I’ll really be able to support it. My partner is completely unsupportive and only wants me to have an abortion or put it up for adoption. I feel that I should step up to the responsibility I created for myself, and besides how can I choose to put one child up for adoption and keep the other? I can’t imagine having to choose between my children even if one of them would be a newborn I wouldn’t even know well. It just doesn’t feel right. But then, keeping the baby under our current conditions feels wrong too. My son needs all the love, attention and money we can give him with his developmental delays, and I don’t want my time and attention to be divided because it could cost my son so much from the monetary side to the developmental side. I’ve now known for five days. I’m five weeks pregnant. Some of the time I think of how wonderful it would be if I could somehow find a job and get into a better financial position and how nice it would be for our son to have a sister or brother so close in age to play with and that maybe it would even help him learn to have another ch

Why do Conservatives think abstinence prevents pregnancy?

Yeah, nice one. I started my periods at the age of 11, as did many girls in my class. So don’t teach girls how to prevent pregnancy until they’re married, when they’re starting to mature earlier and earlier? How exactly is THAT going to help the teen pregnancy statistics? Also, so much NONSENSE about the sacred “innocence” of children. Children are NATURALLY curious, they will explore their sexuality regardless of anything. I know that I and many of my classmates did exactly that. And guess what – it’s NATURAL. Why does it make kids “not innocent” to follow their own natural impulses? Such restrictive, old-fashioned, guilt-ridden rubbish.

What is your opinion on Natural Family Planning (NFP)? Copper IUD?

I have been on hormonal birth control for a medical condition since I was 14 years old. Now 24, the hormones are driving me crazy. Literally. I never want to poison myself with this garbage ever again. My doctor gave me the go-ahead today to stop taking the pill and see how I do off of it. This leaves very few options to help my husband and me avoid an unplanned pregnancy (it wouldn’t be the end of the world, but we’d ideally like to wait another year or so before trying to conceive). So of the non-hormonal birth control options out there, what has worked and not worked for you? NFP has been on my mind a lot lately and I’m very split on the issue. We’re Catholic so we took the classes as part of our marriage prep but never seriously considered using it. A lot of women around my age at church swear by it. When I asked my gynocologist and my mother their opinion on NFP, they both literally gave me the same exact answer: “Do you know what we call people who use natural family planning? Parents.” Ha! (I know it works for some people, but obviously not for everyone.) My gyno instead recommended Paragard, the copper IUD. The only resistance I have to that idea is the risk of it becoming embedded in my uterus. No thanks! But other than that it sounds perfect.

Yes, this is a personal decision, but I would love to hear how other women feel about this! Your experience in the matter would be a big help!
