Take the test: If you want to know if you are pregnant, take a test. In today's world you do not need to wonder if you are pregnant or not based on symptoms.

The best time to take one is when you miss your period.

have pcos treated with aldactone (spironolactone). have my period today.  are large thick blood clots normal and nausea? what causes the large clots and nausea?

Accepted Answer

Build up of lining: If it has been a while since your last period, you may have a thickened lining, which is shedding.  If you have not ovuiated in a while and this is an ovulatory period, those are heavier and "normal." if you are bleeding large clots, contact your doctor.  Drink lots of water to stay hydrated.  Take iron pills if you dont have a contraindication, .

had unprotected sex, took high doses of vitamin c supplements-about 3500ml/day for a week. i finally got my period and have really thick blood clots.

Accepted Answer

Vitamin C abortion ?: Were you attempting  to terminate a possible pregnancy  through high dosing with vitamin c. That is dangerous.  Terminating pregnancies this way are toxic to both the fetus and the mother. Recommend  you discuss this with your gynecologist.

Question 10

i think im on my period but there is no blood just blood clots. thick, and dark brown. im bloted, and hungry, and i pee alot. feel like vometing also?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: The blood you describe is old blood as old blood is brown. What you see could be just clots or mucous mixed in with old blood giving the appearance of being a clot. An early pregnancy aborting could fit as well. The urinating a lot and feeling like vomiting could be because of a urinary tract infection. You should be seen by a doctor now.
