...what is wrong with me
Hey
I'm 21 years old/female. I am on birth control and have been for a little over a month. I get a lot of spotting while on the pill.. and last night I got a few period pains (its not even close to the time my cycle should begin).. but anyways.. period pain are normal for me while I'm on birth control.. even if I'm not close to having my cycle, but last night I went to the bathroom and I got very lumpy discharge. The thing is, it wasn't normal discharge... it looked a little bit like two eggs clumped together (not saying it was one, just comparing it to the shape)...they were smaller than a dime... and it sorta just sunk to the bottom of the toilet bowl.
It really grossed me out and freaked me out to be honest. What could this be? It looked like there was a dot in it.I dont know.. please help.

It is estimated that up to half of all fertilized eggs die and are spontaneously miscarried. About 15% of women will notice an early miscarriage at some point in their life.
However, what you saw in the toilet bowl was almost definitely not a miscarriage. Assuming you couldn't be more than four weeks pregnant (and are likely more like one or two weeks) if you were - the embryo wouldn't even be 10mm large yet – practically invisible to naked eye. You didn't see it. It needs to be at least 8 to 12 weeks pregnant before they are anything close to size of a dime. Also - it probably wouldn't look white, but red and bloody, since it would be coming out from much deeper in your body than white discharges. Miscarriages, even at only 2 or 3 weeks, tend to involve much more blood than spotting. They are often, although not always, like very heavy periods.
So, my vote is no miscarriage. Of course only a doctor could tell you for sure, but it's unlikely. It's certainly not what you saw.
It’s very, very normal to experience spotting, especially in the first few months of taking the pill. Many women experience thicker discharge while taking birth control as well…
If you are uncomfortable, in pain or worried, you should go talk to your doctor. You are the best judge of how big a deal this is, but from what you’ve written here, it seems like you just had a really discharge heavy day and some spotting.

Honey, it sounds like you may be worried about miscarriage. Only a doctor, after an examination, can tell you whether or not this is something to worry about. It is common for woman to "spot" and have irregular periods when first starting or switching birth control. Discharge is also common and it could be possible that your is simply adjusting or may be rejecting the contreceptive.
I can tell you that having a miscarriage is similar to having birth and you will often get severe cramping and heavy bleeding. The cramping often feels like contractions. If you've never given birth before, it feels like someone is squeezing your back and/or abdomin and then letting go and squeezing again. For some it may be a continous sqeezing and bloating feeling. I would suggest that you make an appointment immedietly to to make sure that you are ok and not experienceing a serious medical problem. I wish I could be more help, but I'm ot a doctor and there will be no way for a doctor to know without the physical examination. I wish you the best of luck.
