Missed miscarriage?

[Kels21]

Hiya…. So I started bleeding this morning, pink only there when I wipe, same as now just a bit more red in colour… I went for a scan I’m supposed to be 8 weeks 2 days, I track ovulation so I know when I ovulated, it’s putting me at under 6 weeks, It’s looking more like 6 weeks not 8. Couldn’t see a heartbeat they want to rescan in 7 days to see if it’s early and give it a chance she can see a pregnancy there with the yolk sack just no heartbeat but it’s not where it should be with dates, She said something about a possibility of miscarrying and falling pregnant again? So it would put me super early at 4 weeks odd…I don’t understand how it all works I’m just praying in 7 days it’s good news but i genuinely feel like I’m losing my baby or lost it. Thank you for reading this far, has anyone had this happen to them and have any positive outcomes? Or am I more than likely miscarrying like I think? Don’t be scared to be as honest as you can be with me 🤍 x

Jumping on this as also had what was meant to be a 6w3day scan today (although I know I ovulate later in my cycle) as I'd had some spotting & bleeding. They could only see the yolk sack and a potential fetal pole but it wasn't measuring in line with my dates and no heart beat :( so also going back for another scan next week to see if I'm just earlier than they thought (fingers crossed) or if it was a missed miscarriage :(

The waiting is just agony isn't it! Everything crossed it works out for you! I'd also love to hear some positive outcomes from this situation to keep me going!!.....

Oh bless you, we’re in the same boat, I’m so sorry, how’s your bleeding? Mines changing to more of a red than pink, pretty sure I wiped a tiny clot early also which isn’t good. I hope and pray everything works out for you also, for us both 🤍 xx

Mine actually started the day after I got my first positive test so a couple of days after my period was due (about 4 weeks). It started as just very light brown spotting but then got progressively darker and heavier until there was a day of proper blood and period-like cramps and then got lighter again until it stopped, it was about a week in total. My tests have carried on getting darker and darker throughout which gave me a bit of hope!

It's been horrible waiting until now for the scan so for it now to have been inconclusive and have to wait even longer is just rubbish :(

Fingers crossed everything falls into place, I’ve woken up crying. I literally feel the odd cramp with pink blood still when I wipe but that’s it x

Sorry you are going through this uncertain stage.

With my first pregnancy I knew my dates and I went for a private scan at 9 weeks (no bleeding I thought I would see an early scan) and I got told it was measuring 6+2 no heartbeat. I knew my dates and we had not DTD since then. I knew in that moment it was a missed miscarriage. I then went to the epu. Eventually very long winded process I miscarried. I have since had my son and I’m pregnant again now.

Just to check that you went to your EPU for the scan and not a private scan?

So sorry to hear that it's truly heartbreaking x but happy to hear you've since had your son and another pregnancy, congratulations!

Yes, my scan was at the EPU, my GP referred me after the bleeding. I have a son already and had no implantation or early pregnancy spotting/bleeding with him, which made me so much more anxious even though I know every pregnancy is different

Sorry you're going ture this! It's sucks I had a dark red bleed at 12 weeks turns out I had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks going by the scan! I then had a d&c and immediately fell pregnant again, the wait is dreadful but what ever happens you will get through it xx

How long till this blood changes? I just want to know what’s going on. Obviously I’m praying for some miracle and I go next week and there’s a heartbeat but I know I’m wishful thinking. My bloods still the same today just very very pink and light, only there when I wipe mixed with what looks like egg white cervical mucus….dull cramps in my tummy and back ever so slightly. I just want it to start if it’s happening I just want it over I feel like it’s dragging out giving me hope.

Bright is fresh blood, pink is mixed with mucus and brown would be old, you may not be having a miscarriage lots of women bleed in pregnancy. I had bright red blood with my mmc straight away

Yeah I’m praying this is the case, I’ve had no brown or bright red blood just pink with mucus. I thought after over 24 hours things would be changing. I’m a bit crampy, I just don’t understand my dates, I know when I ovulated but the baby isn’t measuring that it’s at least 2 weeks if not more behind. I’m praying this stops and I have a heartbeat next week. X

Pregnancies are dated from the 1st day of your last period rather than suspected ovulation/conception etc so it is around 2 weeks earlier than you'd originally think (the amount of times when I was pregnant with my son that people commented about me being pregnant on a friends hen do, when I actually conceived the following weekend but the way the weeks are counted just throw everyone off 😂).

Is that what's throwing you? Or do you mean even with those calculations the measurements/timings are still way off?

We went off the last period which was 1st of September it puts me at 8 weeks 2 days but this was my report xx

But if you were going by your ovulation day would you be 6/7 weeks?

i guess? But all my apps put me at 8 weeks. I get so confused xx

@Kels21 hi, sorry you have this stressful time, uncertainty is a killer 😔
I am good through the same with bad results confirmed. Last Tuesday went for 8+ scan but no heartbeat and baby was 6w1d. Rescanned on Friday, stilö no heartbeat but growth 1-2 days (they say even if not viable still might be some growth). Yesterday another scan and final confirmation of mmc. Tomorrow is the removal surgery. No bleeding it anything, body still tricks me...
unfortunately only if you don't know ovulation or very irregular long periods, there's s chance you ovulated late. System predicts 14cd ovulation. I knew my ovulation and when I got positive digital test.
So if you have 2w difference between calculated on period first day and scan, can it be you ovulated really late? Like 1w after 14dc? They also work with tiny picture so might be a few days difference there too.

Hope you get positive news, there are good stories posted here too ❤️

Hiya lovely sorry your going through this, I track ovulation and have regular periods, I always ovulate later so like cd20 sometimes 18/19 but never 14. Maybe the reason not sure. My cramps are getting worse as is the bleeding still not a lot but more than yesterday and this morning. I guess I just have to wait this out and see what the scan says on Tuesday but I’m prepared for bad news xx

Thank you @Kels21 , it is my first mmc, had lots of very early losses but not this...
If you ovulate later in a cycle, then you will be 1 week less then what they suggest by first day of cycle. Then also some errors in measurements, so there's still a hope! 🙏 I read here a lot women have bleeding but still all good. Lots of strength in this waiting game 🍀

Oh bless you thank you 🤍 she never said that in there just said I’m 8 weeks when I told her my dates. But I guess if you ovulate later they don’t know that do they. I’m so crampy I really don’t want this to be happening but I will hold on to hope. Thank you so much 🤍 sending you all my love x

When I had my first daughter we went for an early scan and i thought I was 7w2d but she measured me at under 5/6weeks because all she could see was a sac. She obviously said the 7w2d is from my last period. But then when I went for my 12w scan I was 12w4d but was measuring at 12w6d and it actually put the date to the day before my last af started somehow my last period. But I know it goes on how quick the baby grows etc too
I hope it all works out sending love

Just thought I’d let you guys know the pain ramped up in the last hour and I’ve just passed something big so I’ve definitely miscarried. Will have the scan Tuesday to make sure everything’s gone as it should x

so sorry to hear that 😣 hope you're doing ok xx

That's good to hear a positive ending to a smaller than expected first scan!! 🤞🏼
