could i be pregnant?

Hi,
My period is due on the 10th but i came on on the 7th but it only lasted for one day and was quite heavy and had clots in it but got lighter as the day went on. I am quite worried as i have been pregnant before but had an abortion because me and my boyfriend was not ready for a baby. we have had unprotected sex a fw times aswell.
Could someone please help!

Hi!
It is possible that you are pregnant and having a miscarriage.  I would definitely recommend a pregnancy test.  Home tests are pretty good, but often you can get a professional test done for free if you call around a bit to various clinics such as CareNet or Planned Parenthood.

If the bleeding comes back, we usually recommend that people go to the emergency room if they are saturating more than one large sanitary pad per hour.  Also, miscarriages usually involve a lot of cramping too, so that could be another sign.

Hope this helps!
