Confused after scan, mc or not?

[edwardcullensotherwoman]

Apologies in advance for so many posts this week; I think I just need a sounding board more than anything! (I realise that is extremely selfish but hope you all understand

I had a bleed/brownish discharge starting monday night (small amount), Tues it looked a bit like the last day or so of a period with small clots (around 3-4cm) then nothing today other than a few small bits which look "leftover", IYKWIM, from yesterday. No pains other than usual pg niggles.

Had a scan today, nurse said there's no evidence of pg/ectopic pg. BUT , she didn't appear to be scanning very low; not as low as I remember my 12 week scan with DS (I'm only 7 weeks by my dates, but periods were irregular before so I may be wrong). I also had a blood test which will be redone on friday to compare hormones.

I still have pg symptoms - I feel queasy, have a "full" feeling down low, really tired, peeing loads - so I just don't know what to think! I don;t know if I'm looking for answers here tbh, just needed to get all my thoughts out

Thanks if you've read this far!

I promise I will

Thank you so much, it's so nice to be able to talk to someone about it directly.

I've been going over dates/timings trying to work out how far along I am, but it's just boggled me! Will try to distract myself until friday (I've posted much more than usual on here this week already!)

Well, I went, had both scans again, and could see a pregnancy sac on both

Have to go back in a week, as she said from some angles it looks like it is, but from others it doesn't She initially said Monday, but she studied the pics a bit more while I was dressing, and said she's pretty confident that it is. But they will keep checking on me until there's a heartbeat. It measured about 8mm woday, which she said would be around 4/5 weeks, so I must have got pg later than I thought.

Thank you so much for your support on this thread, I'm so glad I was redirected here.

Thank goodness. I'm really pleased it looks ok, and I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly.

Thanks RancerDoo

I'm in a similar situation. I thought I was 9wks pregnant and I started to bleed, this was 2wks ago. I went in for a scan and was told there wasnt a 9wk pregnancy, so they did an internal scan and it showed a 10mm sac but it was too small to detect life. I kept bleeding and suffered abdo cramps. I went to see my gp she said it sounds like its a full mc. I rang the early pregnacy clinic and they said wait til the bleeding has stopped for a week then do a pregnancy test so they can close done my case once a negative is shown. I did a test today expecting a negative and its now possitive. Im all over the place, am I still pregnant? or can it be a false possitive? I am awaiting a callback from the epc to book back in for another scan. Its an emotional whirlwind. Not sure how much more my emotions can take.

sorry I haven't seen your message before cait

Sorry to hear what you're going through, it is awful to go through isn't it? Fingers crossed for you that it's a really positive and all goes well

What did epc say?

Unfortunately my pg took a turn for the worse on Tues and I'm now miscarrying. It's such a heartbreaking experience (the whole thing; bleeding, scans, etc) I really wish none of us had to go through it.

So sorry to hear that, im in the same boat. Ive got to go into EPAC tomorrow for EPRC to have whats left removed. Its so devastating, I feel like why did this happen to me.

So sorry for both of you (sorry for the delay, have been away / trying to take my mind off things.)

It IS a heartbreaking experience and all the panic / hope / despair / faint glimmer of hope / devastation emotional roller-coaster takes its toll. Be kind to yourselves.
