I lost my child 3-23-05. I am 17 years old . My boyfriend and I where very happy about me being preg. Any who , when I lost it I when t to the emergency room. They told me to go to a obgyn to see if i needed a D&C. I have not gone yet. See my father who I live with does not know. And the health dapartment wont even see if every thang is okay. I stoped bleeding so I figured it was ok to have sex. I did and I am bleeding once more. I started to pass clotts the size of a nickle and I am getting light headed . Also I am haveing a little pain. I talked to someone and they said I should be okay but if the bleeding gets worse to go to the hospital. Another person said not to wait. Go to the hospital. I don't know if I am over thinking this or if I should go. Help. I don't wanna screw up my boddy of do worse.

You need to go to the doctor. Period. Whenever something like that happens, you need to go to make sure all of the tissue is gone or you could get an infection. I wouldn't have sex or do anything until you see a doctor first.

Yes please go to the doctor. you dont want to play around with your health like that or be lax about it. particularly since you are young, your future could turn out grim if you do not take care of yourself now.

I had my first child when i was 17 and i am 27 now, so i can relate, but your health is not a game. Consider the miscarriage a sign from GOD that maybe you are not ready to be a mother just yet. enjoy your youth.
