Dear dcb
So sorry to hear the news. My heart goes out to you. I lost my first baby at 17 weeks and was absolutely devastated. But I now have a beautiful 3 month old son. Take care and hang on in there. xx

Sorry that it wasn't the news you were hoping for. Look after yourselfx

Awww dcb - glad you at least got to know what was going on. Enjoy your glass of wine and good luck with ttc'ing x

Thanks once again for everyone's replies. Well - had the scan and they could only see an abnormal area. Either a partial molar preg or left over from ERPC. They did an urgent HCG bllod test and thankfully the levels prob aren't high enough for a molar so prob left over products of conception from ERPC.

I knew you could get tissue left over but assumed that as my bleeding had stopped that was that. I even thought I'd had an ovulation pain 2-3 wks after.....

They said there is an outside chance it could be a v. early preg but that the endometrial lining doesn't look classic for that. Got to have another blood test on Mon to check HCG levels aren't rising and may need another scan to see if will need another ERPC at some point.

So, mixed emotions really. On the 1 hand I'm so glad it's not a partial molar preg and also that I haven't had a second miscarriage. Obviously I'm upset but I also feel a little silly for assuming that my HCG levels would have gone back to normal straight after the ERPC.

Arses - this pregnancy lark is so crap. Might have a rest from it all for a while (yeah right).

Big glass(es) of wine tonight.

Thanks once again everyone xxx

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I am sending you love and best wishes.

Thinking of you dcb.

any news dcb?

I can't tell you how lovely it has been to read all your replies. Thankyou x

It doesn't always mean the worse although I think it's ok to feel negative just in case. My first pregnancy was completely normal. This one I bled between 5-7 weeks continuously. Had 'viability' scan at 6 weeks which showed foetus but bleeding at the edge of the sac. then had to wait. Am now 38 weeks and all fine. Sometimes it just happens. I have bled pretty much throughout on and off. Hope all goes well for you.

I was cross at some people's reactions - it was early, you can always have another, etc. It is a proper baby for you no matter how early. Good luck.

I had light spotting for a couple of days at 5-6 weeks and like you was convinced I was miscarrying (I've had 2 mc's before). I am now 16 weeks and all is well so far.....

I am also bad at feeling positive - I sort of think if I expect the worst, it won't be such a disappointment when it happens... The waiting is awful though - hope everything goes ok - let us know x

Good luck to you too Ruby
