Light spotting during the early months of pregnancy is actually quite normal and does not necessarily indicate a miscarriage. Heavy bleeding, passing of blood clots or consistent bleeding is much more worrisome and is normally the first signs of a miscarriage. Most women will see a doctor or midwife when they experience any type of bleeding simply to make sure everything is okay.

All of the above anomalies can result in irregular periods following a miscarriage.

Bleeding in the early days of pregnancy is common, and is unlikely to harm your baby. About one in five mums-to-be have some bleeding in the first three months of their continuing pregnancy. It usually happens at about the same time that your period would have been due, and may last for a day or two.

Some STDs like gonorrhea and chlamydia can cause infertility by blocking the epididymis or tubes.

Most women with PID who complete their course of antibiotics have no long-term problem.
