When you lose a baby this early it’s treated like a heavy period.
I lost my last pregnancy at 6 weeks and it was just a long 15 day bleed with clots.
Other than a scan to diagnose that the bleeding was a miscarriage I had no intervention.
I was really glad of this as I read that the tablets they give bad the surgery are not pleasant.

I’m really sorry that you are going through this. I know you said the doctors are not doing anything for you but can you insist that it is added to your file that it is a miscarriage ask them to test HCG - it will still be there I got positive tests for 4 weeks after miscarriage. That way if you have another that will be 3 and classed as recurrent and you may be able to get help

Extreme cramping and a LOT of blood and now starting to get some clots.
That's how my last one started before I needed to go in the ambulance...

Sorry to hear that, did you start bleeding? I hope you are ok.

I have had 2 chemical pregnancies and the doctor will not need to be involved this early, it will just be like a heavy period x

What do you mean? How do you know, are you bleeding? I think when it’s this early there’s really nothing doctors can do, as hard as that is. I hope you’re ok 💐

...I've lost the baby... I wasn't even pregnant for 3 whole days...the doctors won't even help me and the last time they left me to deal on my own I ended up getting rushed to hospital in an ambulance for emergency surgery. They just won't listen!!
Not even pregnant for THREE DAYS!! 😭😭😭😭😭

I just can't cope with this....
2 pregnancies.... 2 miscarriages now....

Please don't worry - I was in the same position. I took a test in the evening and then the following morning and mine was exactly the same, it had got lighter. It may have just been where your wee was not concentrated enough and I phoned my doctors and they said not to concentrate so much on how dark the line is as there's so many different factors.. as long as there is still a line 😊

Congrats ❤️🥰

Kona84 · 12/02/2021 08:57

Yeah mine ended in Mc too and I’m currently tracking at 4week and 3 days pregnant
And terrified every time I go to the loo

Thank you everyone- I think I'm just so worried and scared after my first and only other pregnancy ended in a bad MC

thank you for your support- I've calmed down a lot more now 😂

@WineInTheWillows 😂😂 peeing on sticks seems to be an addiction 😂

THANK YOU ALL xx

The line won't necessarily be noticeably darker after a day. Wait 2/3 days for a noticeable difference, and even then it can vary from one test to the next even in the same brand, due to manufacturing differences. They're both positive. You're pregnant- congratulations!

Feel free to tell your fiancé and stop peeing on sticks.

saywhatwhatnow · 12/02/2021 07:53

I don't think they've got lighter as such. I always got stronger lines in the evening anyway. Try again this evening! Smile Congratulations!!

MarshmallowsOnToast · 12/02/2021 07:48

Trying again...

Kona84 · 12/02/2021 07:44

Don’t check dried tests just check within the timing window.

Take a test around 1 like yesterday- good luck

MarshmallowsOnToast · 12/02/2021 07:43

And actually I wouldn't say they are much lighter, to be honest. Just better lighting in the first.

So still a line once dried, that's good.

Try again this afternoon after holding your pee. Some people have better results in the PM.

Let us know how you get on.
