So I’m feeling very down I found out I was pregnant on the 22nd of March I then started having light brown spotting on the 10th of April that lasted around a week then it stopped I thought oh it might be due to the smear test I had on the 13th of March so I tried not to worry but rung early pregnancy unit on the 11th of April who got me in for a scan for the next day they scanned me and found a sac and a yolk sac but no baby the sac was at 5 weeks 3 days they booked me in for another scan for exactly 2 weeks from my scan so on the 26th that day I started bleeding red blood they scanned me and the sac was at 6 weeks 4 days there was a baby but only measured 2.2mm so 5 weeks with no heartbeat they said they couldn’t confirm miscarriage as baby was only measuring 5 weeks so would be no heartbeat and i can’t remember my last period so they can’t go by that but my periods are normally dead on time and my last period I can remember was the 28th of jan so my period should of been around the 26th of feb anyway this don’t make sense I had a positive test 5 weeks ago and baby is measuring 5 weeks the baby should surly be a lot bigger and the bleeding has convinced me that I’m losing my baby it’s been going on since Friday now 😭 and it’s quite heavy I don’t even know why I’m writing this I guess for others to tell me their experiences maybe help me confirm I have definitely miscarried or there might still be a small hope as the waiting is making me be in a bad way if I knew for sure I could start the healing stage 😭😭😭 sorry for the long long post ladies

Dates at early scans are often inaccurate, I had two EPU scans and one they barely seen anything, no heartbeat visible - looking back on dates now I would have been 5+2 or something.
The fact that they seen something on both scans is positive, when you have your repeat bloods that will give you an idea too.
Bleeding can be normal in pregnancy but I would always recommend speaking to the EPU/midwife if you’re worried.
(And keep a record of everything, they’ll ask you everything if you have an appointment!)
Good luck OP.

Thank you so much for getting back to me hun I’m just confused as if they got the dates wrong and baby would be more along wouldn’t there be a heartbeat also confused as to why the sac is a whole week and a half bigger then my baby I don’t have anymore bloods to do they never asked me but I have another scan on the 8th of May to see what’s going on I haven’t actually got a midwife atm didn’t want to bother them if I’m going to lose my baby I thought they might think I’m being stupid so thought I would wait until I know definitely what’s going on xx

It's a fine line between 5 and 6 weeks pregnant and heartbeats etc so it really is too early for them to give you a concrete answer. One blood test isn't enough because there is a wide range of what is normal. Repeat blood test or rescan is the only way forward. To be honest they could have given you another blood test a few days later and checked if the hcg levels were increasing at the right rate. That would have given you more of answer quicker! Good luck, it's a horrible time

Roxy933 · 28/04/2019 08:28

Thank you so much for commenting and helping me hun yeah the only thing they said after the test was they would ring that day or the next to let me know what my results were I ended up ringing on Monday myself as no one got back to me xx

Hi so I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant and I had light bleeding at 8 weeks. Went to emergency and got checked out and was told everything was fine. Yesterday morning I was bleeding and went again to which they've booked me in for an early scan. Throughout yesterday the bleeding seemed to have stopped but I've woken up this morning and the blood is worse than yesterday. It's kind of like I've got my period. Heaving with a but of clotting. I'm so scared. Waiting these next few hours for the scan is going to be hell but I'm just wondering if anybody else experienced anything like this and still went on to have a healthy pregnancy? Any advice would be appreciated as I'm so scared. This is my first pregnancy.
