Severe Abdominal And Vaginal Cramps, Had Light Bleeding. Am I Pregnant?

My period has been acting very abnormal lately.A week prior to bleeding I was getting severe lower abdominal cramps and I never cramp unless it is on my first day of my period but they are very bearable. My vagina was also just aching. I didn t start when I was supposed to and now my period is light but the blood coming out is clotty and jelly like and dark black. My tampon wont even absorb it. I was scared I was pregnant when I was late, but now I m not sure if I should be worried about that or not. What is going on?

Hi,
In the current scenario, you would need a pelvic examination and a trans-vaginal sonogram to know the exact cause. Pelvic causes like pelvic inflammation and endometriosis should be considered. A urinalysis also should be performed to exclude any associated infection. Endometritis can also give such a picture of sticky bleeding. Pregnancy is not likely with such symptoms. A pelvic antibiotic and hormonal treatment should alleviate the symptoms. Mefenamic acid and dicyclomine can be taken to relieve the pain. Hope this helps.
