I think I've had a chemical pregnancy. Is this normal?

[morecoffeemorecoffee]

Ok, so got bfp 3 weeks ago. Then all bfns. AF didn't turn up. I then got all the symptoms of ovulation just over a week later (approx 13th April).

Got a bfp yesterday.

Got some pinkish discharge in the night and then AF started with a vengeance an hour or so later.

So, I guess this is a chemical pregnancy?

Tmi coming.....

My bleeding is extremely heavy. I feel it pouring out when I stand up, so I am just laying on sofa with heavy duty sanitary towel and regularly going to the loo. I can't use a tampon as its too painful to insert.

The cramps are constant but occasionally get more painful.

Is all this normal? How long will it take to pass?

Thanks for reading x

Yes it sounds like a very early miscarriage. I don't know how long it should last but when I miscarried at 10 weeks the really heavy bleeding lasted for a about 5 hours (I just had to crouch in the bath) but the bleeding actually took 7 days to stop (I just used heavy duty pads after worst 5 hours were up). How long have you had the really heavy bleeding now?

[morecoffeemorecoffee]

Really Heavy bleeding eased off last.night and now its more like a heavy period.

I also woke up feeling really sick this morning and quite light headed. I'm currently sat on bathroom floor waiting to be sick again. Is this normal?

[morecoffeemorecoffee]

Been sick again.

Thanks for your advice goofymum and sorry to hear about your miscarriage :(

I was also sick after miscarrying. I think it was the shock combined with extremely heavy bleeding and cramps. I found that orange juice and crackers helped with the vomiting. I also took a multi-vitamin with iron for the bleeding.

My bleeding was awful for a couple of days and then settled down.

Take it easy OP.

Im so sorry to hear this yes this sounds like a chemical pregnancy sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I had this and nobody seemed to acknowledge i had lost a baby but i was heartbroken after having a possitive test and getting all excited sending (((hugs)))

[morecoffeemorecoffee]

Thank you noknown and theone

I was at work Friday night when it happened. I was at work all night until 9.30am yesterday. I didn't tell them what had happened. Managed to swap my shift last night but I have to work tonight. I can't bring myself to ring my boss and tell her. Also, as it wasnt very far along, I don't know how seriously they will take it. I can't even say the word miscarriage to my Dh.

Have taken a multi vit and iron tablet. Still feel very weak.

Cramps and pain virtually stopped.

[theonewiththenoisychild]

People were like that with me and one member of the family even called me a drama queen and attention seeker. And dp wouldn't see it as a miscarriage it was a life to me and i was heartbroken

[theonewiththenoisychild]

I did catch him crying one night tho so maybe dp felt more than he let on

Sickness and lightheadedness are very normal. Thanks for the reminder to take an iron tablet. Am currently going thru another MC and I hadn't thought of that. I'm just drinking alot of water. I was very emotional but it really does help talking it through ALOT and getting it out to your loved ones. It doesn't matter if it's an early or late MC, it's still the loss of something you created and that you were so excited about. Your life is going in one direction and then it suddenly changes and that's tough. On top of that your hormones are playing havoc. I am now resting in bed but need to get in the shower. Take it easy and it sounds lame I hope you feel better emotionally and physically soon. xx

[Goofymum]

Sorry that should read "it sounds lame BUT I hope you feel better soon"

[morecoffeemorecoffee]

Gosh theone that's awful. It's so emotionally draining. My Dh has been good, he's taken the dc out to let me rest, has cooked, and looked after them. I just can't bring myself to say the word miscarriage to him.

goofy how awful for you to be going through this again. Lots of (((hugs))) to you.

to everyone for the helpful advice
