Im new I hope that it is alright for me to post this .
I should be 5wks+days pg. Started spotting on thursday evening and has progressed now to cramping and pain on one side . Due to the pain on one side I went to the hospital where they examined me and took blood . Hcg levels were very low (136). They said the bleedng may be something or nothing . Im not hopeful. Bleeding has increased overnight but its still only bright red blood no clots / tissue at all, but there is enough for me to assume the pregnancy is over. I have to go back to the hospital on monday for another hcg test.
I just want this all to be over now , Im devastated and it feels like the clock is actually moving backwards today.

I hate this.

Hi ilovepanda,

Im so sorry that your having to go through this. I had a mc 11 months ago and then a molar pregnancy 7 months ago. When I had the first mc I was 5 weeks for me it went on for ages! I think looking back I was trying to hold on to it to try and change mother natures choice but in the end my body did wat it had to do. I had very much the same as you, light bleeding then heavy then the pain, I ended up going to hospital and they tested my hcg levels and then I had to go back to do them again in a few days. I just remember having a massive stomache cramp and I was doubled over and then is came away (sorry I hope im not frightening you) thats what it was like for me. 

I hope this helps you in some way. It is the worst thing waiting for news but just try and be calm. I hope you get some news soon. x

Just to share with you, I'm 5.5 weeks and had a small bleed which started on friday night but I've now had nothing since sat morning. I've had little gripy aches but no real pain as such, but I've still been frantic with worry. Ispoke to OOH doc on Sat morn who said it could possibly be a threat of mc but to wait and visit my gp in morning. It's the not knowing that's hard. I've had two healthy pgs and never experienced anything like this before so I can really share in your worries. X
