Possible Miscarriage?

Ok sooo had sex second week of december, Not ttc. My usual cycle is 23 days long.
I was on noriday mini pill but missed pill the weekend had sex.
Noticed a few unusual things like more discharge and a bit emotional as my due period was coming up. Got to the day I was due on, nothing, the day later, nothing. So i stopped taking my pill. Usually after missing 2 pills I'll start to bleed. Did a hpt just incase and was negative.
Period eventually came 8 days late. My periods are super light usually, TMI, a light tampon will last the full 6 hours and even then I only change it for hygiene reasons. This period was no different than usual.
Anyway shoot forward to this month, period is 4 days late. Started to wonder a little. It then came saturday morning, but my god was it heavy, I was having to change a regular tampon every 2 hours because it was filling up my underwear also. Had some period pains that were worse than normal and some back pain also but thought nothing too bad of it.
Yesterday I wake up, feel ok, have breakfast etc. still bleeding fairly heavy. Get to lunch time and i feel my pad flood so rush to the toilet and it is pouring out of me, lots of clots too. I also noticed that my resting heart rate had gone down from a usual 64/65 to as low as 50.
Stayed in bed all day a little worried.
Now today I wake up, no blood. Go to the bathroom, no blood.
Decided to have a bath.
A lot of little bits of white and grey almost like tissue comes out of me and some flesh coloured long stringy thing and little bits with blood in.
Since then i've just had some very gloopy blood.
Not sure what is going on, have Drs appointment on Wednesday, but is this possible that my period last month wasn't an actual period and I could be going through a miscarriage right now?

I don’t think being around 6 weeks pregnant would cause that much blood ( I had a few miscarriages around that time and they have only been a bit heavier than a normal period, no stringy stuff).

I think going from the date of my period early december or poss. conception date. It would be like 8/9 weeks. But yes a lot of blood, well a lot more than I'm used to so may be only a bit more than a normal period but I have light periods usually, if that makes sense.

@woof929 I just had a miscarriage at 7 weeks and I ended up in A&E the bleeding was that bad. A pad was only lasting 10 minutes and even then I was leaking through pjs and even onto the floor. White/grey tissue is the pregnancy sack. Very possible you've miscarried. Hope you're ok. It's quite scary x

@koochykoo86 I'm sorry to hear that!! I hope you're okay!
Yeah I had super heavy for 2 days and now nothing but those weird bits. I don't really know how to feel about it. I think if Dr confirms it then It will probably hit me xx

@woof929 I think it's best to see your doc so he/she can discuss everything with you and confirm. They may need to check with a scan and monitor you. Once you know you'll be able to process it all in your own way. It's tough I know but you will be fine. Thinking of you x

You could take a pregnancy test. If you had miscarried, it would likely still be showing positive now. I had an ERPC for a missed miscarriage two weeks ago and still have a positive pregnancy test. Some people do up until their next period.

@koochykoo86 @Panoramarama So visited the Dr's this morn. She said high possibility it is, she felt my stomach incase cysts etc but said nothing felt abnormal. Told me if I wanted to I could do a pregnancy test to see if there was still any Hcg but if there was then because of the amount of bleeding it would more than likely not be an ongoing pregnancy. Also suggested I come back in a weeks time if everything is still not right.

@woof929 I'm glad you've seen the doctor at least. Do you feel any better for going? I also have to go back for another scan next week as they said there was some 'tissue' remaining. Urgh. Have you got anyone you can talk to or confide in? Think that may help you process it all x

woof929 · 01/02/2018 01:00

@koochykoo86 I feel a little more upset but glad I went and actually almost confirmed it. I haven't had much come out today but still having bad pains so I'm worried incase thats the case also. Are you still experiencing pains or bleeding?
I told the father but we weren't that serious, he's just moved to Australia and his reply to me telling him was "thats fucked, I'm seeing someone else, I'm in Australia and I don't want to come home" to which i asked him how that has any relevance to the situation. I think he's in denial that its happened. Part of me wants it to hit him and for him to maybe understand what I'm going through but also part of me hopes it doesn't hit him so he doesn't get upset ?? :S x

@woof929 he sounds like a total d1ck! Sorry but why would anyone think that was a decent response to a situation like that? Honestly, I've been with my partner for 2 years, known him for 9 years and have a 1 year old together and his response wasn't much more supportive. Some of it will be because he doesn't actually know what to say at all. But regardless of that, you need to swerve him big time! He's not ever going to understand how you're feeling unfortunately.
How long has your bleeding/miscarriage been going on now? I wouldn't worry just yet re pains etc. It's probably everything trying to get back to normal. I didn't even have pains at the time so I'm not too sure.
All I'd say is, if you're concerned at all go back to docs asap. Better to be checked out. My doc said my remaining issue may be absorbed by the body itself or come away during my next period. So don't overthink and worry. If there's something wrong then you'll defo know. Temperature, sickness, etc. Always here if you're worried x

@koochykoo86 I agree with you there. I think I just have to accept that it's going to be me worse off in this situation than him.
Since friday night/ sat morning. Yeah, they're not as bad as when i had the bleeding but just weird pains like a twinge in my belly and at the exact same time theres a twinge feeling like going up towards my cervix.
I still feel sick constantly but no actual vomiting luckily.
Thank you, you've helped me so much. I hope you're ok too!
Life can be so unfair x
