help! pregnant/miscarriage? (bleeding)

i think i may be pregnant, well i think i might have got pregnant on the 1st :frown:

so it's 10 days since then.

i won't know if i am until after the 18th, when my period's due. but yesterday i bled a tiny bit, when my boyfriend was fingering me. i didn't think anything of it, well i wondered why but nothing happened after that.

but this morning when i woke up there was blood on my bed and when i went to the toilet i bled more, not as much as a period but still quite a lot.
now it's stopped, but my stomach hurts a bit. i've been having pains/cramps for a few days now. my breasts have been a bit sore as well, well my nipples mostly. i know they do sometimes hurt before my period so that could explain it, but it started last week.

i don't think it can be my period unless it's come 7 days early which never happens.

i don't know if it could be that i'm bleeding a bit because i'm pregnant, i read that you can get 'spotting' and bleed a bit around this time. or could it mean that i was pregnant and it's a miscarriage? isn't it too early for that? could it just be that my boyfriend did something yesterday when he was fingering me?

i have no idea, i don't know whether i should go to the doctors just to make sure. or should i just wait and see if i start bleeding again, if i do, go to the doctors, if i don't, wait til the 18th and see if my period comes?

please someone give me some advice!

It's possible to be spotting as well when you're pregnant, not just when you're having a miscarriage. I say go see a doctor and make sure about the pregnancy.

thanks for replying, i'll try to get a doctors appointment as soon as i can but it might not be til monday. still bleeding and it's scaring me :frown:

i don't know what to do, i can't tell my mum and i don't think it's bad enough to rushed to hospital or anything but it's not stopping. it's a bit more now as well, not spotting, but not a period. what about tampons, should i be using them if it's not a period? i'm so worried about doing the wrong thing if i am pregnant, i'm supposed to be going on the pill on the 1st day of my period as well, i don't know if i should be taking it now just in case it is my period come early, but i don't want to take it if i'm pregnant or if it is a miscarriage or something. i'm so confused!

I'd say go to the hospital. Just put on a pad and tell your mom you are going to a friends house or something. Dr. appointments can take long to get...

and dont start the pill!
if you were to be preggers this could harm the baby.
wait until you are certain and have a next true period
hope its all sorted soon

I often come on my period a week before it's due, it's quite normal, but if i was you i would go to the doctors so you know what it is. When you have a miscarraige, it's often severe pains that you go through, but it's best to get checked asap.
