Am I having a miscarriage

[Banana82]

I need some help. I'm 7 weeks pregnant and just been standing in the kitchen when felt something come out and pool into my knickers. Felt down and there was lots of fresh blood. I've been sat on the toilet and felt a clot come out. Not sure how big it came out quite easily. I have no pain. I'm so scared and upset I'm just sitting here on the toilet. Is there any hope?

8.40 appointment.

I have a private scan booked for next Friday. Would be 8 weeks then. Booked it a while ago. I called them yesterday and they didn't have anything available until Monday. But you are right. It might be my only option. Will keep you all updated. Thanks so much for your kind words.

Scan at EPAU tomorrow at 12. The doctor told me to not lose all hope and to rest all day.

That's great. Rest and I'll keep everything crossed for you x

Thinking about you, sending good wishes your way, and hoping for you 🙂 Rest up! Try not to panic. It's absolutely horrific but what will be will be, there's no helping it unfortunately so try keep calm - it may all be ok yet. Look after yourself!

Keeping everything crossed for you, stay strong x

Thanks all. Going to be a long 24 hour wait. I know what they are going to say but am holding out for some small miracle.

You never know. In my last pregnancy I had a huge gush at 10 weeks and I was convinced that was it, I went for a scan and he was fine and kicking away. I didn't mention it before because I did end up losing him much later on and I didn't want to scare you, but that was just really, really bad luck x

Good luck! I hope it goes well today! Drop back in to let us know how you got on if you are able 🙂

Fingers crossed for you xx

Thank you every one. I will let you know how it goes later.

Good luck today.

Hope it went ok

Hi everyone. An update. I had an internal scan this morning and the sonographer could see a baby. Measuring 5.5mm which she said would put me at 5-6 weeks pregnant. No heartbeat seen but she said that would be normal this early on. I should be 6 weeks 5 days today. So I'm now in limbo for 11 days while I wait for another scan. Has my baby died and stopped growing? Or did I ovulate late? I'm even more confused!

I've also done a lot of googling and everywhere says 5mm CRL would
mean 6+5 weeks which I am exactly today. Not sure what to think.

Well, that's certainly hopeful! If you had just miscarried surely what was there wouldn't have been?
Did she mention anything about the bleeding or give you an indication of what it might be?
Have you been offered a follow up? Did you have bloods done, if so what was the HCG level?
Try not to panic and take the good from what you saw, it's a chance at least! 🙂

That's Lottie. No follow up as such. Just an appointment for another scan in 11 days. She didn't take any blood. I meant to ask about that and it totally slipped my mind. Kicking myself now.

She said the bleed could just be a clot coming away or the fact I have a full bicornate uterus. It's split into 2 and could be the side without the baby in emptying. I found out about the bicornate uterus when I had my little boy 2 years ago. She also said that causes early bleeding which I did have last time but nothing compared to Wednesday's bleed.

I think it sounds really positive. Surely if you'd miscarried there'd be no sign of anything there? Hopefully you'll see a strong little heartbeat at your next scan and you can relax

I think it sounds ok, try and take comfort from the fact that they didn't find anything 'wrong' and there was a baby still 🙂
I know it's almost impossible but relax so you can rest. It's hard going all this stuff and I really do know how you feel - I miscarried in April and got pregnant again after one cycle so any pull, pinch or pain I'm dashing to the toilet to check for blood. You're in my thoughts in any case, and I will be hoping good things for your next scan! 🙂

I think it sounds reasonably positive. The bicorneate uterus would explain the bleed (I have this too) and they saw a baby. Would your dates work for you to have ovulated late? When did you test?

When I measured small for dates at 6/7 weeks I knew there was no way I ovulated late because I got a positive test when my period was due so if I had been a week out that would have been unlikely.

Well I tested when I was 5 days late and it gave me a strong positive. My cycles were 33-35 days though after coming off the pill. I have no idea when i ovulated as found it hard to track. I still have painful boobs and sickness so taking that as a positive. Thanks for all your lovely messages.

I tested cycle day 33 I mean.

I had a bleed exactly as you describe in my first trimester. It was a pregnancy following a mc and I was absolutely sure it was over. Horribly it happened at work, the amount if blood scared me.

But... I was wrong, baby was still there, and is now my lovely little three year old.

That bleed still scares me when I think about it.

So, my point is that there's still reason to be hopeful and i am sending you many positive vibes (and a bucket load of patience to get you through the next 11 long days!)

Hi everyone. Is it ok to post even though I don't really have an update? Been feeling quite low today. My pregnancy symptoms have pretty much gone now and I know in my head it's over. This waiting til Tuesday for a scan to confirm things is just awful. I fully understand why but it's just some kind of awful purgatory. I'm pregnant but not pregnant if that makes sense. I just want everything over now so I can try and get back to some normality and try again. I'm scared to go too far from home in case I start to miscarry naturally.

I don't really feel upset now. I kind of feel nothing. Just deep sadness.
