Suspected Miscarriage - Find out on Wednesday - First Pregnancy

Hello everyone, I suppose I'm just sharing my story. I know I shouldn't look for hope at this point and I'm pretty sure I know the answer for Wednesdays scan.

The turn of events went as:

Tuesday morning - red spotting/brown spotting
Tuesday Evening - lots of red blood and cramps, like a slow tap all through the night until lunchtime the next day. Not clots.
Wednesday evening - completely stopped. No spotting or anything.
Thursday afternoon - cramps and dark brown spotting with little clots - I'm only 5/6 weeks.

Light spotting since and a scan on Wednesday.

What do you think? It's happened around when my period would have been due as well. I already feel less pregnant though, bloating and breast pain has completely vanished.

Hi. I’ve seen a few of your posts recently so thought id reply. I can sort of understand as how you’re feeling as I had an early miscarriage on Friday at 6 weeks. I knew I was pregnant for 10 days so was quite upset. It started as bleeding when I wiped Thursday night, then by the morning lots of dark red blood with clots and just period pains.
By the time I got to the epu the urine test already came back as negative, and my hcg was only 24.8 :(
A scan wasn’t even an option.

It doesn’t sound like you have passed that much clots though and as we are all different your outcome might be completely different to mine.

It really is a horrible time and I can sympathise.

@Chwil20 yeah I've probably been posting far too much! This was a wee surprise and we found out 3/4 weeks ago. I'm sure you're the same... as soon as I started to come to terms with this and get excited it all came crashing down :(

It now feels like my body has felt with whatever has happened and my head is playing catch up. Constantly trying to figure out what's going on, why and stupidly looking for hope, setting myself up for even more disappointment on Wednesday.

If you ever want to talk let me know, would be great to have someone who's going through the motions at the same time. Hope you're okay x

I'm sadly going through similar to you. I should be 6 weeks tomorrow but started spotting on and off on Saturday. I had a scan yesterday and they couldn't find anything. They took bloods and they were 214 so way too low. Repeat bloods being taken tomorrow but I'm expecting them to decrease. I haven't had a massive amount of bleeding, just when I wipe but it covers the tissue.

Hi ladies sorry to hear we are all going through similar, i am 6 weeks and started spotting on friday and had more period like bleeding the last four days, nothing i would call heavy, no pain, no noticeable clots. i had a scan yesterday and it showed an empty sack, currently classified as a pregnancy of unknown location (got to love these medical terms). i have second blood test tomorrow where i expect to see a decline. i feel so naive, i guess i expected a miscarriage to happen all at once but sadly this doesn't seem the case. in a weird way its comforting to hear your stories as ive felt ever so lonely since this has all started and feel like i'm not entitled feel this huge weight of sadness as it was only two weeks that we knew. good luck to everyone having repeat tests, will be thinking of you whilst having my own tests.

Hi had my scan today and it wasn't good news but we're okay.

My body has completely looked after itself which I suppose is good, and my ovaries look healthy. Spotting completely stopped 2 days ago and I've got a negative on the pregnancy test I took this morning.

My partner and I had a great discussion this morning before the scan and it's really helped. We had a 3 week holiday booked to explore Bali and the surrounding islands before we found out about our surprise, and we're also looking at buying a house together.

Everything happens for a reason; now we can plan to do this properly and make the most of our immediate plans. Wine Feeling closer than ever as a couple after this whole experience, and now we know we're ready and want to start a family!

No doubt the grief will come in waves but we are in it together, for now, I'm feeling okay.

Thank you for all of the support and best wishes for the future to you all Flowers I'll be back at the end of the year - fingers crossed x
