Does anyone have any insite on this??? I am only 4 weeks preg but already I am having pain and spotting. This is my third preg and the past two were mc. I have a very bad feeling about this already. I went to the docs today and basically its a waiting game. I am booked for a scan on the 26th of April but I dont know what to do until then. I feel so depressed because I think its inevidable that this one is going to end up the same as the others...all of the symptoms are the same. Pain in the left ovary (sharp) and slight brown spotting yesterday...and today there was a little red. I just dont know what to think or do...

Thinking of you Melliek. If this is another m/c as its your 3rd you can probably ask for some investigation.

All the best & be kind to yerself.

Sorry Melliek

Have you seen a specialist about it?

Well , I think its on its way out. Last night in the tub I lost some tissue, not alot and nothing large, but it was red none the least. Today I am spotting more heavily and it is red, so,,,,,this really is dissapointing. Thanks for everyones supposrt, it really does help.

My friend has had many mc and tried to get pg for five years - she's now 4months but had horrendous bleeding for first few weeks - huge blood clots the lot. She's still very pg though. It is possible but of course, it varies so much according to the individual pregnancy.

Melliek Big hugs to you and hope you are better today. The same happened to my friend, 4 IVF treatments and 4 mc before she successfully had a pregnancy and now has 2 beautiful children. They found out that she was miscarrying because her body was creating antibodies which were attacking the baby and causing the mc - by simply taking baby asprin the problem was resolved. So please keep faith as they know so much more these days and can help. I was told I couldn't have children and even if I did get preg I would mc, but have a DS who is 6 months!

Melliek - so sorry to hear about this. How are you today?

Just wanted to say that I had brownish spotting and then lots of bright red blood, which didn't stop until i was about 14/16 weeks. My Dd is now 6yrs old.
Hope everything is o.k for you. Good luck.

Melliek, big hug to you. You must be going through hell. This pregnancy started off with a week of spotting and I was convinced it was another mc then I had one episode of bright red bleeding last week (2 mcs, 7 wks pg) and I was hysterical. A scan showed all was ok. I cant imagine how nervous you feel with the bleeding continuing. I have had lots of pains but I think they are very common in early pregnancy and to do with everything stretching. So, what I am trying to say is that the spotting and pain arent necessarily a miscarriage. Keep in touch and keeo hoping. Bunnyxxx

Hi melliek, firstly just wanted to send a big hug for you{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}

Secondly, I had spotting like you are having(brown then red with pains) with Ds3 and he's here fine and well. I've not been in your position with M/C's, and I thank my lucky stars for that, but maybe this episode of spotting is implantation.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Hugs again.
