Hey everyone,
I don't really know where to start with this post so I'll try to be as detailed as possible. I have lyme disease, and am currently on oral antibiotics (doxy, azithro, flagyl) and have been for a while. I already know that lyme can result in complications during pregnancy so with that said, I have not intentionally been trying to get pregnant. I have been sexually active though, and I did have some symptoms that could have been associated with pregnancy, but because I have Lyme and co's it was super hard for me to tell if I was just nauseated because of the lyme or if it was morning sickness. (I was also having metallic tastes in my mouth, increased sensitivity in (nipples etc). So because of this, I was waiting it out to see if I would get my period or have more 'preggo-like' symptoms appear. Anyways, I was late for my period by around 3 days, and when I finally got it....it was very odd and SOOOOOO freaking painful. I do also have endometriosis, so periods can be hell for me, but this was WORSE.
Anyways, I was feeling really sick, super nauseated, throwing up and having horrible pelvic pain and cramping and
I passed a weird solid-ish/tissue-ish/clot-ish thing that was red, pink, white, and grey. I tried pulling it apart and it didn't seem like a typical blood clot, because it was more like tissue strands and the 'clot thing' was about the size of a quarter. I do have pictures, which are graphic, and will be showing them to my obgyn when I see him this month. I can attach links for feedback if yall wanted to give me your opinions.
This is the SECOND time this has happened now. The first time this happened, I was a week late for my period and actually took a pregnancy test which said negative. Then, like this time, I passed some wierd tissue/clot thing and I totally felt it. It wasn't huge or anything but when I did pass it and saw it my first thought was automatically ...miscarriage". But eh, it's so hard to really know.
My periods are normally pretty accurate usually give or take a day, but 3 days to a week late (especially a week late!!) is not the norm, for me anyways. I'm starting to wonder if I have been preggo, and my "meds" and lyme is causing this early miscarriage stuff?? Has anyone experienced this!? It's driving me bonkers and is making me kind of sad!! :(
