Posting as it’s helped me reading through old posts at this time, so hoping in the future this might help someone.
At about 4w+5 days I started to notice almost a brown discharge when I wiped and had some light cramps in my lower tummy. Went to the doctors that evening who asked me some questions but didn’t examine me. She told me it was a threatened miscarriage and to wait a week and take another test and would have my answer then. Obviously distraught and having to wait a week felt like a lifetime.
Two days later I woke up and the blood was a bit heavier and pain a bit stronger so went to A&E. They took my bloods and said they were 400hcg which was too low for how many weeks I was so that I was miscarrying and to go home and come back in 48hours to the EPU.
2 days passed and the EPU did an internal scan which showed nothing abnormal which was good but no sign of a baby either. She did say my uterus lining looked thick which was a sign of early pregnancy. They took my bloods which came back at 613 - they were concerned as had notdoubled in 48 hours so sent me home to come back in another 2 days.
That day is today and I’m so anxious, bleeding has never been heavier than just on the toilet paper when I wipe with no clots and cramps have always been like a mild period pain but my lower back is sore. Boobs are still sore and pg tests still showing as strong positive. I had resigned myself that it was definitely a miscarriage after the A&E trip but the EPU visit gave me a little bit of hope which I think perhaps was not good.
So nervous about today but hoping I’ll no one way of the other in a few hours. The waiting has been awful. This is my first pregnancy so nothing to compare it against.
