Have I had a miscarriage?

[curiousgeorgie]

Got a positive on a clearblue digital a week ago, followed by lots of positives on frers, internet cheapies and more clearblue digitals.

Two days ago woke up to LOTS of pink cervical mucas, followed by spotting. This turned to brown blood everytime I wiped throughout the day.

Woke up yesterday morning to LOADS of brown sludgy stuff on the tissue, again, only when I wiped.

Went to EPU, they scanned me internally, couldn't see anything but said it was because it was too early (just under 6 weeks)

Came home, lots more brown.. (because of internal?)

Last night took a FRER and there was a REALLY faint line.

This morning I've taken a clearblue digital, a FRER and an internet cheapie, all with first morning urine, all negative.

It's over isn't it.

Very crampy, quite a lot of pain in my lower back. Dont feel sick anymore.

What shall I do? I was supposed to go back to the EPU tomorrow for a second set of bloods, is there even any point?

I also have a GP appointment booked for tomorrow morning - to tell them I am pregnant :S (booked monday) Shall I just call and cancel??

Thanks. I'm so upset. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Hi,

So sorry for what you're going through, I've just miscarried at 8 weeks and its such a horrible thing to go through.

Although it doesn't sound great, its still prob worth going to the EPU. Before I was sure I had miscarried lots of people told me they'd had bleeding and spotting and gone on to have a successful pregnancy.

I was still holding out some hope until I had very very heavy bleeding and passed some very large clots. I guess though if you're anything like me its best to prepare yourself for the worst and then you can only get good news.

Look after yourself, there is a lot of good information and support on here as despite the fact that it is so common I didn't know anything about what would happen if/when I miscarried, I guess its still not spoken about too much.

Take care x

Go to the epu appt but, yes, it sounds like a miscarriage. Bear in mind that a third of pregnancies end in miscarriage and in some respects, if it's going to happen its better it's earlier.

Doing all those tests, it sounds like you're desperate to be pregnant, try to relax a little. It won't make any difference to the outcome but ttc and pregnancy is hard work, loading it down with so much testing and emotion so early on will make it vey hard work for you. a more philosophical approach up to the 12 weeks mark helps a lot.

I say this kindly, I've had two mc and one dd myself.

Thanks for the replies. I have a 16 month old DD, and I know miscarriage is very common but this has just devestated me.

Is there any chance I could get all those negative tests this morning and still be pregnant? There isn't is there? I haven't had loads of red blood yet. Just brown....

To be honest it sounds unlikely if you're getting negative tests too.

I'd still keep your appt with the EPU though as they can confirm and advise what to do next.

Hopefully your little one will keep you busy and keep your mind off it a little, my 2 ds are def stopping me having too much time to think about it and are keeping me going.

Well, its really all over now. I started bleeding heavily and passing clots this morning and i'm in so much pain.

I don't know what to do now.

I know its early and I'm so lucky to have my DD, but I honestly think I've never felt so sad in my life :(

I'm so sorry. It's awfully hard. I had two miscarriages before my current pregnancy and the first few days are just awful. Let yourself be upset as much as you need to and make sure you have people around looking after you. Even if it did happen early, and even though you have your daughter, you've still lost a baby and it's totally ok to grieve. Once it's all over perhaps you'll try again.
