I don't really know where to put this. I don't want to put it in the coping with miscarriage because it feels insensitive, but it is something that nags at me sometimes. This is kind of detailed, so sorry to anyone that it disturbs.
I have PCOs so I have very irregular periods and sometimes they are extremely heavy. About five years ago I had what I assumed was an extremely rare period (they were only about twice a year back then). This was just before I found out about the PCOs. Anyway, it was very heavy, and had a strange, pretty big clot. Here comes the gross part... It was grey with red spots. I went to my GP sometime afterward and she told me I have PCOs, but she kind of brushed off the clot thing. Ever since then I occassionally wonder if it was an early miscarriage, but part of me almost didn't want to know. I don't know what it would look like, and pain and heavy bleeding were common for me, so that wouldn't have made a difference.
Does anyone know if it ever looks like that? Now that I definitely know I am pregnant, I realise I need to know if that was a miscarriage. At least I made it to the second trimester, but this is now bothering me more than ever. I am going to talk to my midwife when I finally see her, but it is really bothering me right now.
Sorry again for the gory details.
