sorry if this is the wrong place, have namechanged and probably recogniseable but would prefer anonimity please

in the last week i have had 3 positive tests, none overwhelming but positive none the less, today i got a negative and this evening i have started bleeding, i would be about 4/5 weeks. It hasnt felt 'right' at any stage, do i need to see a dr or can i just deal with this alone, i really dont want to have to discuss it and try to justify how i feel face to face and feel it is so early that if i hadnt tested i would have just assumed it was a late peiod. i know im probably being a bit stupid but any thoughts? do i really HAVE to go to the dr? obviously only if things stay relatively normal, odd symptoms and i would go Sorry again if this is in the wrong place and for bad typing written whilst crying. feel like i have no right to feel so upset so early. sorry

hi, can't see why you'd need to go to the doctor. he/she will see this as a slightly late period, however you feel about it...take care.

hi
i agree with sotough - doc will see it as a late period. i was in same situation as you in june. doc not sympathetic at all and said that i had not tested, i wouldn't have known i was preg (i would becuase of the symptoms. anyway...) i went to the doc just to put it on my records and not for any medical advice/support. that was my 2nd mc and if another happens, i can be referred for tests.

I am in the same position, m/c today at 4+5. I won't be seeing the doctor unless anything unusual happens.

I wish I hadn't tested really, as I would have just thought it was a late period. Though in that case I would have been very disappointed that I wasn't pregnant so maybe it makes no odds.

Hope you're ok.

Hi,
Hope you are ok. I went to the drs for both my early mcs (at about 5 weeks) purely because my sister told me that if I had any more mcs they will only start to do tests on you if you have had 3 mcs so I wanted to get it noted somewhere that i had an a mc. But in terms of emotional support, that really depends on how much you get on with your doctor.
Hope you are ok though, you have every right to be upset. This is your own personal experience and you are entitled to feel however you are about it.
Sorry to hear your news also kaypea. I feel like you really, I wish I hadn't tested really as I would never have known.
