Do you normally have clots? You need to contact your doctor soon, hon. Unfortunately, it COULD be miscarriage, but there's no way to know until you're checked out. Call your doctor and see what they tell you to do. Either way, if this isn't normal for you, you need to have it checked out. Let us know what they say. Take care, Aubrey;)

Ya I do usually have clots but not on the first day of my AF---Do you think Tuesday would be too late to talk to the doc. (I have an appointment for something else then)? Thanks for responding!!

I'm not really sure. I guess that's a judgement call. If you feel that something is wrong, or things aren't "normal" by tomorrow, I would definitely call. Let them decide what's best. You don't want to risk not calling and have it get worse over the weekend when the doctor's office is closed and you have to go to the ER. If you feel like you're ok, then I guess it's up to you if you decide to hold off until Tuesday. Sorry I can't be of any real help! You're in my prayers. Let us know what they say! Aubrey;)

I called the hospital and talked to a nurse of my doctors (I think that's who she was) (we're military so if you've been there you know what I mean) anyways I told her what was going on and she said to come in for a pregnancy test and we'll go from there o I go in tommorow for the test (I'll know the results a few hours after the test) Thank you for your prayers they are much appretiated!!

In all honesty, I'm glad you decided to call! You'll have a much better weekend knowing what's going on! Let me know how it goes tomorrow! Continuing to pray for you! Aubrey;)
