Hi everyone. I'm new to mums net but after a awful weekend of Googling and trawling through discussion boards, I thought I'd share my story in the hope of finding someone who has been through a similar situation.
I am 32 and today it was more or less confirmed that I am miscarriage my first pregnancy at around 8 weeks.
It began 3 days ago on Thursday evening when I went to the toilet and found brown stringy blood upon wiping. My OH called 911who got a Dr to call me. He said it could be normal but to rest and go to a&e if it got any worse. The next morning I felt a slight cramp in my stomach and so we decided to go to a&e. They took my blood and arranged a scan. Based on LMP I should have been 8 weeks but the scan showed 5 weeks and a faint yolk sac. Again I was told not to worry and it was probably implant bleeding.
This didn't sit right with me. How could I be 5 weeks? It just didn't make sense. I was further confused. Nurse said scan looked fine and HGC levels were normal for 5 weeks. A further scan was scheduled for 2 weeks time.
I returned home. That evening the cramps got worse and the brown discharge became red. I called the hospital the next morning and was told to go in the next day (sunday/today) for another blood test. HGC levels showed a slight increase but not as much as they expected so I have been told this is a probable miscarriage.
Tbh, I suspected this from the first sign of blood. Now the cramps are still there and the red blood remains. It's not filling a sanitary pad completely but still, it's there.
I am devastated and my worry now is that I will never be able to hold a pregnancy. What make thingsure worse is that a few years back I had a medical abortion. The biggest regret of my life. I worry that I've damaged myself and this is karma. My punishment for that terrible act.
I would be grateful if anyone, who has experienced anything similar, could offer their views on this. My next appointment is Tuesday to further test my levels but I know the outcome!
