Recurrent miscarriage - currently spotting please help!

I’m 11 weeks and on Friday started spotting brown / pink tinged discharge.
I phone my local midwife centre & was told there’s nothing they can do as it’s not bright red and nowhere is open.
I tried to chill and relax and thought it had gone but it’s started happening again today. I rang back the midwives and they said “go to your GP tomorrow and see what they say I’m not sure where to send you”
I’ve asked for progesterone pessaries but they said they can’t prescribe them and she’s not sure who can help.

my GP and midwives are being absolutely awful this time around.. I have no help, no one will give me a straight answer, I just get told “it’s fine” or “it’s early”
I have had 3 miscarriages and since my son 2.5 years ago I’ve not made it to the 11 week mark. I was so stressed yesterday I ended up booking a scan which was fine but from experience I know things can change so quickly.
I am so stressed & upset and I have mo idea who to speak to or contact or what to even ask for / who to ask for.
im always hoping the doctors / midwives will direct me but it’s like the blind leading the blind.
im with Warwick hospital if that makes any advice any easier.

im just so lost and fed up & ground down now convinced this last pickle is going to die too and I just don’t know what to do.

Hi lovely, I'm so sorry GP/midwives aren't helping at all in such a stressful situation.
I've also suffered with recurrent miscarriages so know how you're feeling.
Have you spoken to Tommy's at Coventry Hospital? They would see you after 2 miscarriages and would be able to scan and prescribe progesterone. I believe GP would need to refer but might be worth calling them tomorrow for some advice xx

Hi, so sorry you are going through this, the midwife seems not much help at all. I have had 6 miscarriages now, can you go to your early pregnacy unit at your nearest hospital, they should be the ones who can help and scan you etc, I am suprised the midwife did not refer you here. Also after 3 miscarriages your GP can refer you to the NHS recurrent miscarage clinic, my partner and I got testing done there to try and investigate things further (bloods to check for karyotyping, genetic abnormalities, sticky bloods).
Hope everything will be ok and it’s just some slight bleeding, some people just have spotting on and off through there whole pregnancy but still have a healthy live birth. Wish you all the best ! Keep us posted xx💫

Thank for you replying both!
I went to my GP in the end who referred me to the EPAU so went today.
after a 5 hour wait I had blood tests / an examination.
my cervix is closed still and the doctor couldn’t tell what was causing the spotting.
I had a cervical ectropion but she doesn’t think that’s causing the bleeding as such.. so it’s still an absolute mystery.
she used a wipe as she couldn’t see my cervix at first as it was covered in this blood tinged (pink / orangey) jelly discharge which is what I’ve been getting.. she looked just as confused about it as I do.
the closest scan they could get me was Friday so fingers crossed all is fine by then.

im gonna take this week off work and just rest so I don’t cause any further irritation.

@WorriedTtc hopefully your mind will be at rest a bit with the EPU checking you, although no conclusion was made at lest you know your cervix is closed? Fingers crossed everything will be fine for you, as I am sure it will be .. all the best !
