Awaiting the bleed from v early miscarriage

Hey there had my bfp a week ago testing positive the whole week. On digitals too. Sore boobs the works . Now a week late and was testing faint yest and testing neg today...Iv resigned to the fact this one isn't going to stick . I was googling as usual trying to find out how soon u start to bleed following a v early miscarriage? I'm just over five weeks preg. Phoned the doc and she has done beta Levels that will be repeated on wed to make sure they're coming down and said I should expect a bleed by next week at latest by then I would be 6 weeks . Cervix still v high quite a lot of milky discharge sore nipples but nothing else no symptoms at all. I am devastated obviously but would rather if I'm going to have an early miscarriage I'd rather have it now as it's obvious the wee bean stopped growing a few days ago when the hcg levels started falling. Anyone any experience of this or how long it takes to start to bleed. It's been two days now . No cramps either xoxoxoxo

For me it was about a week. It was a very light brown bleed and not very painful as it was so early. A chemical pregnancy I guess. It did last for a couple of weeks on and off though.

It may be a small consolation or none at all but just in case it gives you some hope, I did become pregnant again very shortly afterwards. The Doctor mentioned the chemical pregnancy might have given my hormone levels a boost, who knows for sure.

I do know how upsetting it is, especially the wait, and I hope you have lots of care and love around you.

Would it not be just like a normal period maybe slightly clottier due to the extra weeks worth of mining built up? Thanks for replying btw. Yes my oh has been fab although he did admit he feels shit too and a bit usless. His son arrives over from London tomoz were in Ireland . He only gets him during school holidays so I know he's excited but at the same time I'm like eugh this couldn't come at a worse time I need him more than ever in a selfish way and I don't want to be ms sourpuss when the boy is over to see his dad and have fun . It's not his fault . Life goes on I suppose but timing is just off. Feeling super sad and shitty today don't know if I can cope with another week of this. Did ur hcg disappear as quick as mine has? I had blazing blazing red positives for a whole week then just one day didn't feel any symptoms and KNEW I needed to test and it was faint then the next day basically invisible. Can't believe how quickly it happend . Very sad .

M8ne was the same as that’s, but with pink blood at the beginning. It started differently to a normal period and lasted slightly longer but wasn’t heavier, as it was so early.

No for me it was like an extended long and light period with a clot or two at various points. Almost no pain. My initial pregnancy tests were faint and never really got very strong but I had stopped testing and so had no advance warning when the bleed started.

Sorry @lolacola13 Flowers

Mine was very early, only 4+3 and very quick. I started to spot at 4+2, the tests were fainter and started cramping and bleeding in the early hours a day later.

Mine was identical to my normal period in terms of length (2-3 days) and flow was normal too. Only difference was cramping which I don’t usually get.

I know how you feel, dear. I went through it last week. It was devastating. I am so angry all the time… And feel so sad. People say ‘let it go’ or ‘it will eventually happen, don’t overthink’. My response to them is if you been ttc as long as we have you'll be devastated too. Everyone deals with grief differently. If you want to cry go ahead and do that. Don't let it bottled up! Let it out because trust me it’ll help. No one knows exactly what you go through. Listen to yourself, but not other people. Only you know how you feel and what you need. No one can tell you there will be other times. Trust me I had to curse a few people out because of their stupid comments like that.
