In 1999 I lost two twin boys at 4 months into the pregnancy and then in 2000 I got pregnant again but lost that baby at 5 months along.  I swtiched doctors and she told me when I get pregnant again I will need a stitch to hold a baby in.  I got pregnant again and this time I had a stitch at 12 weeks to hold the baby in and then was in the hospital one month before she came into the world.  Then at 36 weeks I gave birth to a girl and she is 4 yrs old now.  After I had her I was on Depo Prevera the birth control shot.  I was messed up after getting off of the shot. Then we began trying again for #2 and went to the doctor and told I have a tyroid problem but take no meds for it. them to me. Blood work done abnormal result. Now 4 yrs later almost 5 yrs now no  baby and I am worndering if all these problems are from the Depo pevera and what can we do about it?  How can a person if they dont have alot of money get infertility treatment?  My credit is not good so I cannot get an infertili

They should ban that Depo shot, it messed me up hormones raging, lunatic behavior. I highly recommend no woman take that!! It takes a few years to get that junk out of your system, I personally think. I've been told that when you stress about wanted a baby that it doesn't happen. Just you wait, relax about it and it'll happen! Take the time to enjoy your daughter and your husband. Sometimes spicing up the love life fills the time in between, because if you remember when the baby comes you are never in the mood becuase your're so tired, ha ha! Good luck!

Yes.  It is similar to childbirth.  I bled for a month after childbirth, only to get my period two weeks later.  If it is still heavy and full of clots it may be cause for concern.  I would talk to your midwife/obgyn.  At the very least it will make you feel better.  And I am terribly sorry for your loss!

If you have not had the depo shot, you may be experiencing a heavier and longer flow because you have a build up of debris in the lining of your uterus from past cycles that didn't clear everything out. You might need a D & C to clean it up and get everything going smoothly again. I have had periods that lasted for more than 3 weeks, than started again a week later. If having sex restarts your flow once it has stopped, you definitely need to see a doctor about this. Unless you have reason to believe you may have suffered a miscarriage, monday should be soon enough. You will not bleed to death, but you can become anemic to the point of needing a blood transfusion if you let this go on too long. There are also medications that will help dry up your flow but you must take them under a doctor's supervision. See your doctor soon.\n\nDefinitely talk to your mother about this. She will be able to reassure you that everything will be fine better than we can. So don't be shy. Just talk to her in your room or wherever you can be private and tell her what's going on. She will notice for herself soon anyway, so ease your mind and talk to her now.

I miscarried back in November of 04.  I found out on a monday I was pregnant.  Then friday night I had a faint pink discharge.  Then saturday morning I started spotting really bad but I didn't have pain either.  I called my dr. that night because it wouldn't stop . He told me go to the ER, so I did, and the dr. there told me I had miscarried.  They did a blood test and my HCG levels were almost at zero.  They did an exam and said that my cervix was dilated as well.  I didn't have a D&C the dr said 85% of women miscarry like this, in the beginning, due to an abnormal chromosomes or whatever, but most women think it's a late period. I got pregnant in Jan of 05 and had a healthy baby boy after that.   If I were you, I would call a dr or go to the ER as soon as possible to get everything checked.  Use a neighbor's phone or pay phone if you have to.

This rarely happens but it does.  If you are only 22 and you took your last depo 5 years ago...then you were to young to be on the shot anyway.  I hate this for you.  Your reproductive system may wake back up...but it will take a long time.  But new technology comes out everyday.  Try to find a fertility specialist and see if there is a reverse shot.

I will tell you the same thing I told the last girl.  I am sorry you find yourself in this position.  I wish I could get pregnant so easily.  Please give your baby a chance.  There are many people out there that would love and care for your baby if you cannot.  I would personally love to help out someone like you.

Well, I'm on the shot and I thought I was pregnant again. But, to figure it out, you should go to the doctor or clinic, or just an at home test. But to be truthfull if you took the pill again after that there is a big chance that you won't get pregnant and if you did you will have miscarriage. But when you miss a pill make it up the next pill and take two.

if you are truely concerned about the health of your baby you should forgo any tips and hints from friends that involve taking drugs and go and seek professional help. do not think that someone answering on this forum will have any practical knowledge that could be transferable to your situation either - there are always specific case details that won't be taken in to account. \n\ngo and see your doctor and explain to them what the problem is - then follow any advice they have specifically for you and your daughter. \n\nif your doctor does not seem to be helping - or understand the full effect of their prescribed course of treatment - ask for a second opinion from another doctor.

You have to go see a Doctor right away you havent had your period for that long and you dont knwo how far along you are that is a scary thing. I would never ever not go in to be checked out and you would have a belly by now. You need to see a doctor but when  women is pregnant it can happen any time morning sickness is something that can never come with being pregnant. There are so many things you will never get when pregnant some women ever bleed all the way through it. You really need to see a doctor about this its not good for the baby and your health to not see a doctor when your pregnant some women die and the baby can be born dead as well if your not seen through your pregnacy I dont want to scare you at all but its true I have 2 kids and with my second I had so many problems but before I had my kids I was going to have twins and they died inside me so for a whole month I had my twin boys insode me dead and I knew it as well. My body couldnt pass them (a normal misscarage). I had to have surgery in order to have them taken out of me. I will press this on women cause my boys were rotting inside of me I was told I have a 35% chance of ever having kids after what happend to me I had 3 more misscarrages tell I went a full 7 months with my son now here is the sad part I was 6 months to the day with my boys I had them taken out on Dec. 6 1997 and will never forget that day ever. Now I hope you go see a OB/GYN and that all is well with the both of you

I did not get a period for 6 months after I had my son and my tubal ligation(both withen 2 days of each other). I bled for 3 weeks after that and then did not get a period for 6 months. The doctor did a preg. test that came back neg. and told me not to worry about it.Eventually it came back. Call your doc.

Yes NHS is crap, similar experience here and I lost my little girl, stillborn at 40 weeks, she had only been dead a week, cord wrapped around her neck. I'd visited my doctor and gynaecologist earlier in the week and they never picked up on it. I knew she'd stopped moving as much but stepmum said it was the calm before the storm. Took me in to start me off, did a scan and told me she was dead, and I'd have to give birth naturally. Sheer hell I'll never forget it. So get your husband to kick but as much as he has to till they take notice. Be careful and good luck. X

Whoever told you that is a complete TARD! I have had periods for well over a month, and I have also gone 8 months without one at all (due to BC.) The thing is if you are young (25 and under) it is not really a big deal at all to go that long. Your body is still developing. If you were to have a miscarriage (and I am speaking from experience here!!!) you would know it! You don't just bleed, but you have wicked cramps and pains. It is not as simple as a prolonged period. So you are fine. You have not had any tragic miscarriages. You should however probably see a doctor just to make yourself fee better. Other then that if you have no pain then you are fine. Take care.

Hey girl, everybody is built different than everyone else. Each body is unique. I took the depo shot for a while and didn't bleed for over a yr. Sounds nice but my hormones were crazy! Give it some time to get out of your system. It might take a few months to start balancing itself back out. But don't worry! You'll get there!

It can sometimes take a while for everything to go back to normal. I had my second son four months ago, and my first period was over a week and a half late. \nIf you still feel worried about this, go to your doctor and seek a professional opinion.

Listen, I AM a lawyer and I am asking you to let this go.  I am so truly sorry for your loss but the cause of death here was obvious.  The cord was wrapped around the baby's neck multiple times.  You asked for blood work, etc.  Under these circumstances, why would a doctor follow your orders?  There is no medical reason to do so and the insurance company certainly won't want to pay for a procedure simply because an upset mother "wants" one done.  \n\nLet's assume for the moment that the doctor should have followed your orders (and I think he was right in not doing so by the way), what would you sue for?  He didn't cause the death of your baby.  He didn't cause you injury.  No injury equals no lawsuit.  There is no cause of action available for failure to follow patient instructions.  Unless you can prove that something he did caused physical injury to you or caused your baby to die, then you simply have no recourse.\n\nAgain, I am so very sorry for your loss.  Having 4 miscarriages has got to be heart breaking.  But don't take your anger out on someone who did you no harm.\n\nI wish you luck on all of your future endeavors and pray that your next pregnancy will come to term without complication.

After having children the mucus discharge does thicken. The irregular bloody spotting with it probably means your system is a bit out of whack after having children and being off Depo. Talk to your OB/GYN and see if getting back on some kind of birth control will help regulate your periods again. If they continue to get worse though, they might consider a D&C or ablation. Stop using Depro though...it's now being related to bone disorders. Ask your dr. about the NuvaRing....it's easy to use and works very well. Regulated my periods immediately!
