In the middle of a miscarriage

[UnicornRocket]

Yesterday I was celebrating lovely news with my husband, as tests finally showed I was pregnant for the first time.
Today, since I got up in the morning I have been bleeding heavily all day long and now it has become clotty. It's so different to a period, TMI but it's more like gushing blood every time I sit on the loo. I'm on the toilet every hour, but it was every half hour for most of the day. The heavy bleeding and clots is horrible, I would have never expected this much bleeding with a miscarriage this early. Did more tests and they are still positive.
I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, they said on the phone it's hard to tell with early pregnancies and some women do bleed and stay pregnant etc, but I already know what's happening.
I know it's so early, I think I'm only 4 weeks 2 days, and I've only known I was pregnant for a day and I am very lucky in some ways, that it happened now rather than a lot later. But it's still devastating after having that 1 day of joy. What a difference a day makes.

Ah OP my heart is breaking reading this. Sending lots and lots of love and hugs. I think this is a chemical pregnancy. I was the exact same. I tested positive on the Thursday and on the Sunday was on a heap on the floor bleeding. If its any consolation at all, we conceived the following month and I have my 5 months old baby lying beside me here

Oh goodness. Been there myself a few times, more than I'd care to mention. Be very biological? Sometimes it takes a while and the body takes time to adjust .. I had maybe 10 Miscarriages but have 2 wonderful children - good luck and don't let the miscarriage sadness get the better of you xx

Sorry I didn't say before but so sorry

I’m so sorry OP. I completely understand how your dreams of the future suddenly get ripped to bits. You might find good company and support over on the Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss board under Body and Soul. Plenty of us there in different stages, who can give you comfort and hope.

Coldinscotland - I tested on the day my period was due. I didn't test particularly early. Even if I didn't test then, I would have known this was not normal/is a miscarriage. It is so, so different to a period. In our case, it was better to know what was going on.
I don't need to toughen up. I've been through a hell of a lot the last year, I am a tough person. I'm still allowed a little sadness.

Hey OP, I had a chemical pregnancy back in July (4 weeks 5 days). Like you said, completely different to a normal period. Clotting was unreal. I am now nearly 6 weeks pregnant, took us two cycles to get pregnant again. Life is tough right now but it will get easier, I promise x

So sorry, this is very sad. I agree that even without testing early, you'd still know in a way, what's going on. The same happened with my early pregnancy loss last year. We didn't know I was pregnant as we weren't actively ttc, but I knew something was up, did a test and got a faint +. Please be reassured that this doesn't mean you won't go on to have a healthy pregnancy next time. Sending hugs x

Nothing like a bit of compassion 😥if you’ve nothing kind to say…say nothing…quite simple.

sending ❤️op

Came here to say this person's post was completely insensitive and plain awful! Really hope you're OK, OP ❤️

@UnicornRocket so so sorry.

Been here myself twice. 8 weeks and 10 weeks.

No matter if you know you're pregnant for one day or 100 days, the loss is the worst thing I believe a woman can experience.

Take time out to grieve and heal.

WTF! Give your head a wobble and have some compassion. Most of us who have had miscarriages are aware of the figures but it still hurts nonetheless.

@Coldinscotland Not only is it cold in Scotland but it's cold in your heart too! Have a bit of compassion, I'm sure you have tested the day your period was due too. My chemical pregnancy didn't end until 6 days after my period was due, most would have tested by then or assumed they were pregnant if TTC so either way, she is allowed to be upset!

I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s just awful to go through particularly off the back of the joy of being pregnant. Please ignore the cruel comment from the poster above.

Oh sweetie. It's not nice big hugs

I got my Preiod after 6 days of my period being late I test for pregnancy on day 3 of it being late and got. Negative but it was from the dollar store so idk how accurate it is but anyways when my period did come it was a brown I thought was a little weird but didn’t put to much thought intill the next day I started to have the worst cramp I’ve ever had and passing this sacky blood clot thinking it was and early miscarriage the cramp today have lighten and almost not there and I just been dizzy and lightheaded what do you think ?
