Miscarriage?

I am still not positive whether or not I am Pregnant. My last AF was June 11 and last for 5 days. It is usually about 27 days from the last day to the first day of the next but once or twice a year it goes for about 50 days. Its been awhile since the 50 day mark and I was assuming I was preg. Even though I took 5 HPT all negative. Now for about the last week and a half to two weeks I have been having pretty strong cramps like the kind i get right before AF comes. I havent had any signs of pregnanct excp. I have been making more frequent bathroom stop ( I usually have to go alot to begin with). But I have no clue what these cramps are all about and I was thinking possibly miscarriage? Any Advice would be great. Thank You!

could be, i guess, hon- you said it's been 50+ days and no AF? hmmm... could be you were pg earlier, and never got far enough along for pg symptoms to come, but your body kept thinking it was pg, and didnt let go of baby...((((((((HUGS))))))))) for your sake, i hope this isn't the case! i miscarried, early on, and didnt really even cramp at all- just thick spotting for a day, and then nearly nothing after that- but it's different for everyone-

or it could just be another of your long cycles-

i would say, if you get past the 60 or 65 day mark, and no AF, call your ob/gyn, and see if there's anything they suggest- they may want you to wait a bit more, but if it doesn't start on its own, and you're not pg, they can give you something to make it start. if you DID m/c, you may need a d&c, to take care of things- either way, if it takes much longer, i'd call the doc- they can probably tell you over the phone how long it's safe to go w/out bleeding or a pos test~

good luck hon!

I agree with bec, you should see your doctor right away. I to was very late, more then a month late for my af and took about six pg tests, all negative. it turns out that the tests were right i was not pregnant, but needed a jump start to get my af started and was put on provera. I tend to think you are not having a miscarriage, but a delayed period, especially if this has happened in the past. this month I was 15 to 16 days late and thought here I go again , I need help again accept this time all three pg tests came out posative!
