As has always been the case, periods will vary from woman to woman. The same goes for the first period following a miscarriage. Some women will have a lighter period; some will experience a heavier than normal period and others may have a period that is similar to their past periods.

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.

If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or a cup of coffee, and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. Shortly after you become pregnant, hormonal changes prompt a chain of events that raise the rate of blood flow through your kidneys. This causes your bladder to fill more quickly, so you need to pee more often. One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by rising levels of hormones.

Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause fallopian tube damage.

Antibiotic treatment may cure an infection of the reproductive tract, but doesn't always restore fertility. Your doctor may recommend hormone replacement or medication in cases where infertility is caused by high or low levels of certain hormones or problems with the way the body uses hormones. A varicocele can often be surgically corrected or an obstructed vas deferens repaired.

These methods work only for 1 hour. You should insert more spermicide each time you have vaginal intercourse.
