Miscarriage- 7 weeks

Hi,
I have been bleeding for 5 days now.
On the first day I went to the early pregnancy unit where they scanned me and confirmed my pregnancy looked more like 5 weeks due to the fact there was only a sac with liquid rather than an embryo (which would be expected at 7 weeks)
I was told they could not confirm miscarriage as they would need to see me in two weeks time to check there has been no growth (as I could be earlier than expected) as we were trying for a baby using ovulation sticks and tracking sex etc on an app I am very adamant I have the right dates.
I just wondered how long people usually bleed for before it’s over. & if I should expect a lot of pain, all I have experienced so far is back pain! Waiting 2 weeks seems torture!! This is my first pregnancy so I am concerned this could happen again, has anyone had any tests after miscarriage to make sure they are okay?!

I had a private scan at 8w baby stopped growing at 6w3d, I was rescanned at EPAU 8 days later which confirmed MC. I was due to go in for ERPC 3 days after I started to bleed the night before, I didn't bleed a lot passed something huge which I thought was the baby the scan the next day confirmed everything was still there so I went to theatre. I bled for about 7 days after but again it wasn't a lot. For me the pain was awful I could feel contractions and nothing eased it until I'd been to theatre. Sorry I can't be too much help but if you have any Qs ring EPAU thats what they're there for.x

I had an ERPC, I was about 6wks. I bled for a couple of days, but nothing major. The worst was the huge hormone-crash about 5 days later, but that too eventually passed.

Hi i think i might be going through a miscarriage now i started off spotting last friday had a scan sac n baby with a heart beat there then on thursday went to the toilet and was bright red when i wiped went up epu had internal check not scan was told my cervix etc was closed and they didnt think was miscarriage then next day cramping like period pains but not period like bleeding just wen i woped adter wee went up epu yesterday as passed a medium clot then a big one along with cramps got checked again no scan was told by doctor he doesnt think it a miscarriage as all is shut but did remove a clot while looking and said i had blood up top have been booked for a scan in jan but today again passing some clots not big though do you think om miscarraying or could it be just the blood that the doctor said is there im so worries Sad

Sorry you are going through this it's so worrying time being pregnant as you just want everything to be okay!
I passed the sac yesterday but with me there was no baby when I went to the epu last week, I was sure of my dates and unfortunately knew there was only one outcome for me.
I'm not a doctor but I would honestly take hope in the fact your doctors are saying it all looks okay. I know a few people who have bled through pregnancy and had healthy babies. Good luck & if you are unsure, in any pain or bleeding lots, ring the epu or go back xx

I'm really sorry to hear you are having a tough time right now. I had six miscarriages before having my eldest DD and it's miserable. I tried all sorts of things to help me process what was happening but in the end I decided that every time I miscarried I wasn't loosing a baby, it was just not the right time for the baby to come and I would have to wait a little longer to meet him/her. It took four years but eventually my daughter decided it was her time and she arrived and she was and is perfect. I'm so sorry you're going through this at Christmas. X

I know being in limbo is the hardest, this is what I found anyway!!
Stay strong and positive xx
