Early bleeding

[HM81]

Hi, this is a bit of a long post but just wondering if anyone else has had the same situation and what you did.
I'm about 7 weeks pregnant but had bleeding last week for 5 days- not heavy but definitely bleeding rather than spotting. I didn't call go at the time as the nhs website said little could be done at this stage and unlikely to be scanned as it was so early on. I resigned myself to this being a miscarriage and tried to rest. Today I called the gp and spoke to a clinician. She said they wouldn't scan me now as I've stopped bleeding and they may not have done anyway given the current situation. So basically, I just wait. I'm not exactly sure what I am waiting for- more bleeding. I guess I thought I'd be able to have a miscarriage confirmed with a scan but that won't be happening. I probably should have asked more questions but now I'm not sure what to do. Do I retest in a couple of weeks and see if I am still pregnant? Or just go ahead to my booking appointment which is in another two weeks?

Sorry that you are going through this. I had a miscarriage last year at about 8 weeks pregnant. Started with light bleeding and progressed to heavier bleeding and then passing a fairly obvious embryo. Took about 4 days in total. I had light cramping that progressed to contraction like pain before passing the embryo. I had been scanned and they asked the bleeding started and they confirmed a slow heartbeat. They asked me to confirm the embryo was in tact and then to take further pregnancy tests - should get lighter and lighter with a negative test within 2 weeks.

Not sure if that helps, I know peoples experience will be different.

Also just noticed the date. Am sure you will be clearer by now. Hope things worked out for you.

Have you rang you epu?? Mine were brilliant!! (FYI - I believe most places only scan Mon-Fri) worth a call.... Usually 24 hour service! Push for a scan
