Hello, so I had a scan nearly 2 weeks ago and found I was 6 weeks preg but no heartbeat, I had medical management and i can’t get it out of my head that It might not have worked, I have social anxiety dissorder and agoraphobia so I’m trying to get better with that at the moment and the thought of further surgery is stressing me out so badly. Basically I had all of the tablets on the same day and went straight home, 2 hours later I got the cramps which became almost unbearable, I wasn’t bleeding like I thought I would, i would only bleed on the toilet and it was extremely thick dark blood, I passed a few clots about 5 p sized, after about 3 hours the cramps stopped, i continued to bleed the same passing a lot of very tiny clots then a 10p sized one which I’m 100% was the placenta when I looked closely and googled. It’s been nearly two weeks now and the bleeding has stopped for two days, I still have very strong positives on pregnancy tests and feeling sickly through the day, I can’t get a scan until another 3 weeks time, is there anything I can do in the meantime? I just want this to all be over with the waiting is killing me. Is it possible for the placenta to pass and not the baby? I know I probably sound silly but my heads all over the place with the worrying

Hi op I'm just coming over from the other thread.

Sorry again for your loss.

I would wait a couple of more days to see if you start bleeding again and then retest. If it comes up positive and or bleeding restarts ring your doctor or local epu and explain the situation. Stress that you feel you need a scan and that's it's been going on too long and affecting you.

Thankyou so much for reading! They said it can take up to 4 weeks for test to read negetive but still the waiting game is very unsettling, was thinking of getting same day appointment with doc and asking for hcg level blood test but don’t know if they would do one with an appointment already coming up

They have told me to test in a few weeks also.

If your bleeding again I would say your getting really bad cramps and ask the doc to refer to epu for emergency scan perhaps that will work.

For peace of mind for yourself if anything. This process is too long for us isn't it.

It is very long! I wasn’t expecting this at all! What do they have to test you for in a few weeks? Seems like this can go on forever!

I just have to do my own pregnancy tea to make sure it's negative that's all.
