maybe too late for the baby?
(you answered my question about bleeding inbetween periods.)
I feel as if I can completely cancel out spotting.
I never really had cramps until about last week, none this bad at least.
I did miss 3-4 pills,within 2 cases of pills, and within the times ive had sex.But I take the pills i miss the next day with the regular ones. they werent missed in a row,just accidently and randomly. but i did have my period along the row that im supposed to.
**I dont know if this helps but** During my last period I had breast tenderness, mainly the left breast. When I pressed on my breast it hurt really bad, but if i pressed on it in a certain spot milky looking stuff came out.
Today, is the third day of bleeding, and the chunky stuff.
So do you think I could have possibly been pregnant without knowing,without missing a period, and having a miscarriage?

I think it's VERY possible, especially with the further information you gave. Heads up, don't take two pills at one time..if you miss one, just take the one as soon as you remember and then concentrate on getting back on schedule, as soon as possible, a little at a time, and get to where you can take it about the same time everyday (30 minutes doesn't make much difference, but half a day does!) If you miss pills you need to use additional birth control for the rest of that month.
BUT right now that ISN'T our biggest concern…
The sore breast is a sign (BUT your breasts CAN become sore just before your period also)
More importantly, and these are my BIG RED FLAGS:
The blood clots you've never had before and the fact that they are pink and stringy rather than red and “bubblish”.
You missed your pills (and from what I gather you missed many of them)
You've had bad cramps that you've never had before. (btw, it might help to take an over the counter pain reliever as directed for the pain.)
The fact that your clots are pinkish and stringy shows, from my experience (of 5 miscarriages) that, yes, (and I’m sorry for your pain but) you miscarried.
And you had what looked like milk production- the milk flow could be your body's way of expelling the milk production it was attempting to make. Were your breasts, in general, more swollen and tender? I'm sure they were.
If you haven’t already, stop taking the pill RIGHT now. You will need to wait until you have next month’s period before you can take them again. Your next cycle will likely be late, it will take about 4-6 weeks for your body to get back on track; no longer than 8. To help you remember to take them on time, try to associate the taking of them with something that you do every day...like take it right after you brush your teeth, or right before you go to bed, associating it with something that you do everyday at the same time will help you stay on track. Keep in mind that you will need to start a brand new pill pack after your next period and will need to wait an additional 2 weeks after beginning the pill again, before resuming your usual sex life. (It's actually easier to get pregnant right after a birth or miscarriage!)
I would like you to monitor your menstrual flow carefully. The heavy bleeding shouldn't last more than about 3-4 days. Make sure it doesn't remain heavy after that, and especially if you’re filling up pads too quickly right now, let me know. Just in case you aren’t, be sure to stick to using pads: DO NOT use tampons AT ALL. you need to let your body expel the embryo. You cannot do that by wearing tampons, in fact it could cause a serious infection!
Stay off your feet until your flow becomes light, and take it easy, to prevent hemorrhaging. (basically, your body would lose way too much blood and you could actually 'bleed to death'). SO, no jumping jacks for you *wink*! Remember, Just take it easy (no running, extreme sports, jumping, etc). And, as I said, NO sex either. After about 2 weeks your blood flow should cease, and when it has stopped, and you just feel like you have to have sex, you will need to use alternate forms of birth control until next month when you can begin to take your pills again. (I recommend a condom and an insert that kills sperm- be sure it’s one that is condom friendly!)
Also, see a physician (or emergency) immediately if your pain becomes worse anytime soon, you run a fever, or the bleeding doesn't ease up by 4 days! We don't want you to miss what could be a dangerous etopic pregnancy, an infection, or to bleed to death!
You shouldn't need to change your pad anymore often than approximately every 3-4 hours, AND your flow should ease up after about 3-4 days. If it doesn’t then we have cause for concern!
Even after the flow has stopped, if you still continue to have pain, or run a fever you will need to see your physician (or emergency room) immediately. Fever can implicate that you got an infection and/or that all the tissue did not pass as it normally does.
On my first miscarriage at 19, I opted to have a D & C, where the physician knocked me out and cleaned out all the dead tissue...but all the ones after that (like 4 or 5), I just took it easy and watched for any signs that could be dangerous.
I was an emotional wreck after every one of my miscarriages whether I wanted the baby or not. Keep in mind that your hormones are way out of whack, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself crying at what you would normally consider “silly” things. It’s not only your physical body that has taken a toll, but your emotional one too!
The fact that you were in your first tri-mester, and your young, is a good sign that you likely won't have any serious problems. The pain your feeling is normal, it is there so that your body can clean itself out. BUT it shouldn't get any worse, or last beyond your heavy blood flow.
I'm SO thankful I could be here to help!
Again, if you have ANY (and I DO mean ANY) concerns or more questions, you are welcome to message me anytime, okay?
GREAT BIG HUGS and lotsa lotsa Blessings!,
