I am 31 years old. I've been off the pill for about 5 years. Sexual active, yes. 1 partner only. Menstruation is normal until last month. I got my regular period right on schedule on aug 23rd. However, it was brownish and a ligher flow than usual. It lasted about 6 days and then flow became slightly heavier and bright red. To this day bleeding has not stopped. Its been 20 days. Flow is still red but not heavy. I am not using tampons just a panty liner. I do have mild cramps isolated on the lower right abdomen side. Feel weak sometimes, no other vaginal discharge. What could this be? Please help.

Turns out I had a miscarriage but my body is slow in expelling the fetal tissues. I may have to get a d&c done. Worried about that now...
