Early Miscarriage - 5-6 weeks. How much did you bleed?

[fettle]

Hi All
I found out I was pg 2 weeks ago, but 10 days ago I started spotting, which turned to red bleeding after 2 days. This red bleeding continued for 3 days, but never very heavy - didn't really need to change my protection all day except for obvious freshness reasons! (sorry TMI). Then continued spotting until a couple of days ago, so a week in total. Anyway, I have had a negative pg test now and although my GP tried to refer me for a scan to check all had gone, the EPU refused to see me, as I count as an early mc. Having had a missed mc at 9 weeks back in Feb of this year, for which I had to have 2 ERCPs, I'm obviously a bit concerned that I haven't bled enough.
I would have thought that I would have expected at least a normal AF amount, if not heavier, but certainly not lighter! Especially as this cycle I conceived on was 56 days long.
Hope someone can reassure me from their experience that a BFN means that it should all be over and we can start trying again.

Thank you!

Hello everyone. I'm very sorry to hear about your stories. I had my 1st son wonderful he was perfect no complications at all. Today, I woke up with a clot on my panties. It was a circle with a cord attached. I had cramps and abdominal pain. Now I'm having bleeding as if I was on my period which I'm not supposed to get till about a week and half. I'm on the pill so I'm honestly not sure if I miscarriages or what is going on with me? I thought maybe 5 weeks ago I could have been pregnant but I took a test it came out negative and I'm always super careful because I train a lot of MMA and really want to focus on that before I have another child. Today I notice after walking around the carnival with my son after passing that weird clot I felt tired and exhausted and pains. Which is no big deal because I run 7 miles like nothing. I shouldn't have been tired from just walking.... What is going on please explain someone :( I appreciate it if anyone could tell me if it was a MC.

Hi everyone I'm new on here. so sorry to hear of everyone's losses. This is quite a long story so sorry if it takes a while to explain. I had a scan at 8 weeks 2 days and no baby found was told I'd had a missed miscarriage at 6 weeks I returned 10 days later 9 weeks 5 days to be told womb was empty I'd had a complete miscarriage with just 3 days off spotting I've now got bad cramps amd av passed just 2 clots which looked like tissue an still light spotting. Not sure if bleeding will get worse or if to expect any more clots as I wasn't expecting any clots was told just to expect a heavier period but bleeding is still only spotting. Just thought I'd tell my experience as everyone is different. I wish all of you the best of luck with your next pregnancies.

Has anyone else had this? I got a bfp on friday putting me at 5 weeks today. On friday and until Sunday I was cramping badly back and front, with just bright red clots and light spotting, now today I'm bleeding lightly no clots, my womb feels heavy and I still have pg symptoms but don't think I'm pregnant
My doctor just said go home and take another test in a few days but it's most probably negative. How long will it take for my symptoms to go away? Everytime i feel them it kills me

Bobbert14 I have the same, started to MC on Friday evening, still getting waves of nausea and tender breasts, it's heartbreaking. My doctor told me the same, I should be 7 weeks, although I would describe the bleeding as heavy spotting I know I've miscarried, it seems my head is ahead of my body! I'm sorry for what your going through x

Hi all I'm pregnant but been bleeding for about a week and half now been for a scan but got told I was too early to see goin back on Monday I have no cramping or anything else apart from the bleeding cud I be misscarriageing my second baby plz help I'm really scared

Hello, I found out I was pregnant last month, two weeks later I woke up and the bleeding started but with no cramping. I went to the emergency room and as I was there the bleeding got heavier I was also passing clots (sorry TMI) . I found out I had a miscarriage. The bleeding went on for a week. I had mild cramps but these cramps werent compared to my normal period cramps. After the week me and my boyfriend started to have sex again during it everything is great. Its been about two weeks since ive miscarried and im feeling mild pelvic discomfort and im not sure if i am ovulating or I might have an infection. I am passing white mucus stuff (again sorry tmi) so im just not sure. Please feel free to comment your answers

Hey, think I'm miscarry get I'm 5 weeks and a few days, bleeding and clots and really bad pains I had a miscarriage on the 12.4.15 this year was really bad was in hospital for a week, and I had seizures and passing out for 2 days, a little scared as I don't want it to happen like that again, no one knew I was pregnant apart from my partner, what do I do?

I M/C at 4 weeks. It started with very little spottingI didn't know I was even pregnant until I had a 3 week 'period'. after the discovery I bled for another 2.5 weeks (5.5 in total), with irregular bleedingit would be light, skip a day, then be so heavy that I needed to change my pad once an hour.

I hope this is your last M/C and that you have a successful pregnancy soon!

pls I had mc 5weeks after pg. my doctor told me to come for flushing/evacuation while my snographer said I shouldn't since she can't find any particle in my womb after scanning. I am confused. bleeding have stopped

Hi everyone. Looking for abit of advice really.. I miscarried recently (23rd Jan) at 7 weeks after bleeding heavy with pain and clots .. nurses at epas were happy for me just to miscarry naturally as process already started.. just abit concerned that it has been over 3 weeks now and no sign of it stopping and now I'm getting lower back pain and passing small clots again. . Little worried so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi i am 5 weeks today with mild cramps and bleeding after intercourse last night.could I be miscarrying I'm very scared I miscarried before but it was very painful any suggestions?

Hi all
I was having lunch with my partner and all of a sudden I had really bad pains in my lower stomach, we went home I sat onto the toilet and blood just came poring out we rushed to the GP and he gave us a referral to the hospital me and my partner waited three for 11hrs! Finally they saw us they took my blood and asked me questions and the Doctor said I have to get an ultra sound. We where waiting at the mischarge section for wemon it was so sad to sit there I was so upset we finally went in to get a internal scan and he had told us that we are having a miscarriage. It's our first child we are very devistaded. We are still in tears now, I think it will last a while.
Poor little angel mummy and daddy love you

Hi im around 5 to 6 weeks pregnant but 2 days ago i had some blood when i wiped not much but was there the hospital sent me to epau where they have done a internal scan but they said was too early to see im still coming up positive on pregnancy test and they did my hormone levels and came back at 450 odd and the bleeding doesnt seem like it is there now i have another blood test tomorrow to see whats happening with hormone level but im really nervous and i have had no pain as such but i have ad a ache at bottom of my stomach do you think im miscarring or as others had this during pregnancy x

Firstly I'm so sorry for all of your losses, it has broken my heart reading the stories on this thread

Parisgiff31 I'm currently in a situation similar to yours hunny. 8 days ago I had an early scan due to some pains in my left side and my GP was concerned it may be ectopic (according to my dates I should have been 6 weeks). The scan showed pregnancy was in the correct place and although pregnancy sac and yolk sac could be seen, they could not see a fetal pole and asked me to return in 10 days time for a follow up scan to confirm viability (as she said I may be a little behind with my dates and baby may be too small to pick up).

Anyway, fast forward to yesterday I noticed some brown spotting in my pants and intermittent very mild feelings in my lower middle area, I called the midwife who referred me for another scan. At this scan the sonographer said she could see the yolk sac had grown and could see a small fetus measuring 2mm putting me at 5 weeks but no heartbeat, she was very positive and reassuring saying baby is too small for a heartbeat and to go back for another scan in a week, saying not to be concerned about the spotting as she couldn't see the source of the bleed and it sounded like old blood perhaps from the cervix.

Feeling half concerned, half relieved we headed back to the waiting room to see the consultant. When we were called in, she immediately stated "well it appears you've had a miscarriage" and wanted to discuss our "options" we were absolutely shocked as our conversation 10 minutes before with the sonographer had been so positive!! After explaining this she went to talk to the sonographer and came back what felt like a lifetime later (I had broken down by this point crying my eyes out) she said the sonographer did want to see me again in a week to confirm viability but she was not happy she had been so positive with us as to her it wasn't positive as the baby had only grown 0.1mm in a week and it should have grown 2mm. I asked her how on earth she could know this when the previous sonographer told me she could not even see the fetal pole at the previous scan. She proceeded to show me the report from the previous scan where a fetal pole length of 1.9mm had been written on the sheet and didn't look as though she believed me when I told her the sonographer had told me multiple times she could not see the fetal pole and that's why she referred me for another scan 10 days later in the first place!

I called the midwife after to tell her all that had happened, she was really angry at the situation and has assured me her manager is going to be looking into it but unfortunately all I can do now is wait until next Friday for another scan. Heartbroken and devastated don't even come close to the way I am feeling, and I don't know whether to cling onto the hope from the sonographer or accept the news from the consultation, and what to think about my first scan I do not know, why would she lie about not seeing a fetal pole of there was one? I feel so lost and go through patches of feeling numb, and then breaking down unexpectedly. I'm not sure what feedback I am looking for from this post, I just don't know how this could be happening. Just an update from the brown spotting yesterday, once I got home the spotting stopped and touch wood hasn't returned yet, I've had a couple of odd sensations in my lower middle area but nothing I would consider painful. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hi
I 5 days 2 day and since Monday I have had little cramping and spotting! But today the cramping got worst and blood lost heavy with some blood clots!
I have laid down most of the day and blood lost is only when I wipe or go to the bathroom and cramps have eased with some pain killers!!
I still having sore breast and feeling sick
I just don't know if I am misscarrying as i lost at 6 weeks last year and I was in pain and losing a lot more blood then I am.today!!
My midwife just told me to rest and do a test in a few days
I really hopping for the best but I don't think I will

I should be 9 weeks.. I went for booking appointment last Thursday when the sonographer said baby/sac was too small measuring 6 weeks 4 days.. Either wrong dates or early miscarriage. After a very long week wait we had another scan today which confirmed our baby stopped growing :-( I've had no cramps and no bleeding at all so it was a total shock for us. Now we've been sent home to consider our options and I have no idea what's best.. To wait naturally (but how long will that take!?) to take tablets or d and c.. I'm nt good with doctors and hospitals at the best of time but I really never thought it was possible to "miscarry" without there being any signs.. :-(

I have just suffered from misscarriage after having 2 normal pregnancy Befote and both great I don't understand why they said I had a hematoma witch think that's why lost baby at six weeks but didn't have none with others I really want to try again but really scared that same thing will happen can't get over my fear

Hello everyone.

I'm not really sure what is going on with my body at the minute. For a few weeks now I've had period like pains (back cramps and pain in my stomach on and off and feeling nausea a lot of the time.) However my period never came I did a home pregnancy test and it was negative but something in the back of my mind was saying that I was but it just didn't show on the test yet. A few days ago I started bleeding well spotting more clumps than blood then last night me and my boyfriend had sex and I bleed everywhere not a little blood like a lot! I was in a lot of pain and I can't help but think maybe I'm misscarriaging.. maybe I'm just over think.

If anyone could offer me some advice it would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea what to do and I'm so worried..

Tia

Hello I had an early mc in July at 5-6 weeks and bled for less than a week, it wasn't heavier or more painful than a period. In fact if I hadn't known it was a miscarriage I would've thought it was a normal period. Emotionally it was hard at first (it was my first pregnancy) but 5 months on I'm fully recovered and I am pregnant again. Be gentle with yourself, I am sorry for your loss

Hello All

I am confused and looking for advice/support. I am 5 weeks pg. I have been going to the toilet every 15 mins and then on Thursday started weeing blood.... so booked a doctors appointment on Friday. I am only bleeding when on toilet sometime light-moderate and wiping, none in pad. No fever or cramps other than lower back pain. Doctor wasn't too concerned about m/c as it is so early but did think I had a UTI. I started the antibiotics yday and have had 3. Now the bleeding has stopped. If I do a PG test and it is positive.. does this mean I'm Ok... or could I still have miscarried?
Thanks In advance.

Hi i am going though hell my doctor wont tell me nothing so i have no clue i was told i miscarried but had scan they see yolk sac but not the rest im so confused i am in bits im still bleeding and i have to wait 2 weeks for another scan its killing me

hi all,

I'm new to this group let alone what would of been the start of motherhood. I found out last week that I was 5 wks pg for the 1st time (unplanned but happy with the outcome). But during my 6 weeks + 4 days I started spotting which gradually got worse. After speaking to the DR who told me to self refer to the EPU, I eventually got seen. The DR in EPU stated my cervix was closed so was a good sign however still could not rule out the possibility of a miscarriage. I had my HCG levels checked which confirmed was low. I have to return 48 hrs later to have these re-checked. Unfortunately through the night what we believe has happened is M/C, I had fresh red blood and stomach (period) cramp pains. When contacting the EPU the nurse was very helpful and advised me to stay at home and not to worry incase it was actually implantation. However us woman know our own bodies and I knew when I took my bra off at bedtime that something was not right. My breasts no longer hurt and my belly had gone down. The bleeding has sort of settled but the cramping has got worse. As this is my ever first pregnancy, I'm finding it all overwhelming. I am seeing the doctor tomorrow only for him to confirm ive lost it. Has any1 ever experienced this before? and if so what questions do you advise me to ask?..

Hi there
I’ve had four miscarriages and I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant. I had a scan on Friday and there showed a foetal pole and the sac had grown since previous scan 10 days before. On Saturday I started bleeding and became heavy for an hour before bed but then eased off to just now spotting. Cramps were mild. Will the other miscarriages of which I lost at about 5/6 weeks also I had heavy bleeding for around a week but this time not as heavy. Has anyone experienced this and been fine? I’ve got a scan booked on Friday this week.

Hello everyone, I found this thread really useful and comforting 2 days ago when I was going through my miscarriage. Sorry to all those experiencing it right now. I was searching for answers, hoping to find someone in a similar circumstance. Now that it's over for me, thought I'd share in hopes of helping someone.

I should have been 9.5 weeks pregnant when I noticed some light pink blood Friday morning when I wiped. I immediately freaked out. I had not experienced many traditional first trimester symptoms. Mainly breast tenderness, which disappeared about 2 weeks ago. That day I went to the doctor and she said it could go either way. So watch for heavy bleeding and/or cramping. On Saturday, the bleeding was heavier but not much more than a period. I knew something was wrong so we went to the ER. They did a transvaginal ultrasound dating the fetus at 6 weeks 3 days and no heartbeat. I knew it deep down that it was over then. But kept some hope as the doctor said perhaps the heart beat just wasn't detectable.

On Monday, I had mild cramps that came in waves. A few minutes apart. Went to go pee and blood was pouring out (less than I expected though) and I felt 2 large "clumps" fall out. I looked but only saw lots of blood in the toilet and was scared to search around.

Went to the doctor on Tuesday and she said that was it. It wasn't particularly painful as many others stated. But of course everyone is different. She said if the bleeding gets worse or I get a fever to come back in. But otherwise I should expect the bleeding to stop in a week, my period to come back in a month and then we can try again.

This has been such a terrible experience. I found writing this cathartic actually. Feeling better physically and emotionally today. Big hugs to anyone going through this. It really is so common, but that doesn't make it easier. Hopefully we can feel better knowing our bodies did this to protect the fetus and us from larger complications down the road.
