(Sorry, I didn't really know where to put this, because I'm asking two questions - forgive me if I chose the wrong forum.)
Hi, I was explaining my current situation to my roommate, and she came on here and posted my situation, though slightly altered. She tried to make it seem like I was a married woman trying to having a child, because she said that I would get an unbiased response.
I don't care though if I get a biased response from people. I want an HONEST oppinion, that is the only way I can have peace of mind.
I am a 20-year old, almost 21, and have been in a relationship for about 1 1/2 years now, and am sexually active. I am on birth control, and make sure to take it as prescribed. My boyfriend and I usually use condoms as well, just for the extra protection since birth control isn't 100% preventive.
Sometimes, though, he and I will fool around during foreplay without a condom on, and occansionally penitration happens. Since I am on birth control, and I know plently of girls who just use birth control as a form of protection, I am not too extremely worried about this, but I would like an answer.
A few days ago, Wednesday night I believe, I started cramping really bad, almost like I was about to start my period, but I was only 1/2 through this month's pack and didn't think that likely. Sure enough, I started my period, or what I thought was my period.
Once in a while it will start off as brown and then later turn to red, but this time it hasn't let up and it hasn't turned red. I need to know if I did indeed get pregnant, and if so, was this a sign of a miscarriage? I've been informed that a large amount of pregnancies result in miscarriage before most home tests can even detect the pregnancy, I believe the number is 44% of 100 pregnancies end is miscarriage before the mother even knows she is pregnant.
I know that if I were to have gone to a clinic to test and see if I had an increase of hCG I could have been able to tell, but since that didn't even cross my mind at the time, I didn't go in.
I guess I just need to know if this is a sign of miscarriage, and if not, is this normal? Like I said, I am almost 21 years old and have never experianced this before in the 9 years I've been having my period.
Thank you all for the help.
A little extra information:
I have been on BC for 9 months
From Wednesday night to Mid-Day Friday it was almost impossible for me to keep any food/liquid down. I probably went at least 36 hours without any food and very little water.
Could either of these have caused my body to suddenly 'start' in the middle of the pack?
If I can think of anything else that might help to determine whats going on, I will post more information.
Like I said, I just want to know what is going on and if I had a miscarriage. Thanks again.

Also, I thought of this right after I posted my question. Could this just be a sign that I am pregnant? Should I stop my BC until I get a definate answer?
