    Haven’t had these before
    In the past I had no period for 5 months but nothing like this has happened
    Am I experiencing implantion bleeding

    • No, implantation bleeding is not a cyclic event that occurs after intervals. It is only once you’re pregnant for two days. The erratic spotting or irregular period over three months signal sth else. Kindly ask your doctor soon.

  2. I am Rh negative, my partner is positive. Our first child I miscarried and then received Rhogam. Our second child is Rh positive and I received Rohan again once she was born. Now I am TTC again but my doctor will not give me rhogam until I am midway through pregnancy. Is this okay? I thought I can miscarry without rhogam in the beginning to protect me and baby? Thank you in advance.
