Did I have a miscarriage?

I'm hoping someone may have had a similar experience or some input for me. During the month of January I my period was about 2 weeks late. It lasted from January 28 until about January 31. Usually when I first get it, the flow is very light and gradually gets heavier. This time though, it was so heavy I didn't even have a chance to get to the bathroom. As gross as this sounds, I felt/saw a clump of blood fall into the toilet. Before getting my period I had felt nauseous and slightly lightheaded, back pains, and just not feeling well. About 2 days after the bleeding stopped I was lightheaded, nauseous(almost vomited), in a cold sweat, blood pressure dropped very low, and passed out. I actually passed out twice that day. The next couple days I felt dizzy and nauseous and sleepy and just not right. When I had taken pregnancy tests around the time of my missed period, they came back negative, but I know they aren't always 100% accurate. I went to my doctor because of the way I had been feeling and he gave me a list of things that could be wrong, one of them being a miscarriage. Because of the negative pregnancy tests I said no, definitely not. But after thinking about it, a miscarriage doesn't seem too far fetched. Does this seem like a miscarriage? If so, is there anything I should do medical wise? Is there any way to find out definitely?Thank you for any help!

    You could have had a miscarriage. I have had a similar experience. I took a pregnancy test during my missed period and I could BARELY see a second line. My husband couldn't even see it so I think I made it up in my mind. I went to the doctor because I was having bleeding and huge clots were in the toilet every time I went to the bathroom. My HCG levels were tested (blood test) and I did in fact have higher than normal HCG levels but they were trending down. That is why it didn't show up on a pregnancy test. There weren't high enough levels of hormones to register on the test. Usually if the bleeding stops and it is early in pregnancy you will not need a D&C but if it continues and is accompanied by cramps then you may have to get the sac removed from your uterus. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned.

    One thing you didn't mention was that you were cramping. When I miscarried...I cramped up because your cervix is contracting to get rid of all the blood and tissue.

    the best way to find out is to see your gynocologist...
