only 5wks but not done this before please help me

[MummyElk]

hi all am so sorry to ask when there are much more worthy stories on here but i've never done this before and i suppose i just need a guiding hand...i found out early this week i was pg with dc3 and was SO over the moon (we've been trying for about six months).
anyway i woke up tonight bleeding - it's heavy, fresh blood. Pretty sure that's me done then isn't it? i felt rubbish all day yesterday and just assumed, naively, that it was early MS, am now wondering if it was miscarriage hormones kicking in.
Do I wait for the bleeding to stop and then do a pg test? does this count as a cycle?
I know it's SO ridiculous but I can't stop crying. I have so many pregnant friends at the moment (bad person emoticon) and I'm so happy for them all but I don't know how I'll see them. i know this will pass i'm just being stupid.
sorry to be such a wimp

so sorry you are going through this. no one can tell you anything other than an early pregnancy unit or your gp. you just never know. I had several heavy bleeds early on but a healthy pregnancy in every other way. seek medical help.

whatever happens, be kind to yourself, take care and you never know what the future holds. x

Thankyou aloha
still crying. so stupid there are so many braver people on here than me

Don't be hard on yourself now of all times! Cry as much as you need to... I've been through this, it is horrible, but you will get through it. Go straight to your nearest early pregnancy unit and get yourself checked out so you know what this means.
All the things you are feeling are normal. Don't get caught up in guilt or self recrimination... Just look after yourself. Do you have someone with you? It will help if you have someone to go with you to EPU.

Hello thank you for your reply londonkitty I did read it yesterday but didn't have the wherewithal to respond properly.
Bleeding is finally subsiding but am pretty sure I've lost the pregnancy, am going to the doctors next week to chat through what next.
Am surprised by how physically ill I feel, does anyone know how long this will last roughly? It's probably hormones but didn't expect up feel so rough.
I don't know what the advice is about when you can start trying again.
I don't really know what to do to be honest!
But thank you for both responses.
Small steps I suppose
