Probably miscarrying - feeling very bleak:(

I am (was?) 5+2. Woke this morning to blood and it has continued throughout the day. Quite crampy, and a lot of discomfort on one side but not "pain" as i'd see it.
We called NHS direct first thing and they were lovely - saying that if it gets any worse in any way to call out of hours gp, and if it just continues as it is go to drs on mon and see about an early scan. does this seem right? I think so but feeling irrational so just checking.

I was just a bit disappointed at first, but now I am so so sad. I keep crying and i feel as if life is bleak. It's not - i have a gorgeous 3.10 yr old dd and we will keep ttc but i so so wanted this baby - it had happened at exactly the point I wanted it to (there would have been 4.5 years exactly between dd and that baby) AND it happened very quickly (been ttc 4 months, and it is only 5 months since i came off depo)

The plus side is i know i am fertile again after depo, but i keep wondering if depo caused this (unlikely i know, but as i say i am irrational), and whereas i just thought that cos i had a had an easy (ie no bleeds or pain) Pg with dd it would be the same, now i am toruting myself with the thought that this will keep on happening and maybe i should just stop ttc.

bleurgh.

thanks for reading.

dd and dh have gone to a party (school friend of dd) - i was meant to go, but am terrified i'll cry or something, plus i feel a bit rough. My mum came up when we told her in case we end up needing to go the out of hours gp or anything....

I am right not to see anyone right now (as in medical, not just shutting self off from world (although that is tempting)), aren't i??

Oh, darling, I'm sorry

You are right to do what you feel is right - nobody can tell you different because it is how you will deal with it best.

Much love x x x

Sorry ALBS. At least you know one way or the other now.

Can any one tell me why a pg test is needed 2 weeks after this scan?

A pg test will be recommended to make sure there are no "retained products" - lovely phrase... The plus side is that if you fall pg again without having a period, you can be sure that it is a new pg...
