Bleeding at 5 weeks.

[Sleeeeeepzzz]

I'm losing my mind!!

I'm 5 weeks 2 days and I've been having light pink to brown spotting since around 1pm yesterday.

I did go to the EPU yesterday and they told me the bleeding was very minimal but to go back in two days for another reading. My levels were 254 yesterday which I'm not happy with. The lady at the hospital told me it's not about the first number but the 2nd. But I see so many people who are already in the thousands by this point that surely those numbers can't be good?!

I've had a pad on since yesterday afternoon and not one drop is on it. It's literally just when I wipe but it's not got any better or worse since yesterday.

Ive not really had any symptoms so I don't know if I've lost them or not. Though I did have some needle like pinches near my ovary last night which I thought wasn't a good thing.

Me and my OH did have sex the night before the bleeding so I'm praying that may be the cause but I just don't feel positive.

I've had two miscarriages in the space of a year and I'm terrified it's happening again :( the last two times the red blood started pretty soon after like a period whereas this just seems to have gone brown and is only when I wipe.

I can't believe this might be happening again :(

Hey, I can’t help but I just wanted you to know you’re not alone. I’m going through the same thing (6 weeks today and pains and red blood from last night, brown blood since last Sunday - only when I wipe) - first hcg level was 223. Waiting for a call this evening for the second level. Likely 3rd miscarriage. Sex wouldn’t have made any difference so don’t think that is the cause. You have done NOTHING wrong. Did you have an ultrasound when they took the blood for the HCG? Fingers crossed for you. When is your next blood test? Xx

Hi, new to this page but have been reading some posts...it’s headtbreaking to hear your stories but it’s also reassuring to know I’m not on my own as I feel like I am. Found out I was pregnant last Monday and ended up in a&e on Thursday with pain and light bleeding. I was worried it was ectopic as I’d had one ten years ago and two lots of surgery since. But my bloods dropped on Saturday and this morning I woke up to heavy bleeding which I can only assume is a miscarriage. I’m feeling so sad because I’d allowed myself to get excited this passed week after 10 years of thinking I couldn’t conceive. I’m always someone that pretends I’m fine but I’m really really not. ☹️

@Cl1ffy thanks for posting. Sorry to hear you're going through this too. My next bloods were tonight but to be honest I'm just too tired. I've been here before, I know I'm miscarrying now. I have lots of red blood & tummy cramps. Im going to go back again in the week to check they've gone down properly but not tonight. I want to be at home.

I hope everything worked out okay for you?

@Amy01872 you're definitely not alone. It's horrible and isolating. I totally understand how you're feeling. Hugs to you we'll get there, some people's journeys are just a bit tougher. It's not fair xx
