Bleeding with no pain

Hi mums - I’m currently pregnant (well hoping to still be) 6 + 4 days but yesterday started bleeding, i lost a clot possibly size of a 50p and am
Still bleeding but only when I wipe. I’ve not experienced any pain - can anyone give any advice? I’m going to speak to my doctors tomorrow and request to see the EUP. But obviously I’m super worried.

I had a quite big bleed at about 5.5 weeks, with a couple of biggish clots. I was 100% convinced it was over.

However, I had a scan a few days later and all was fine. I have had on and off spotting/light bleeding since then - had another scan at 8 weeks and all progressing. Now just hoping things are still going well...(9.5 weeks)

Thank you for reply. I think because I spoke to 111 doctors last night and they both said different I’m super worried. Being a weekend makes it harder to do, as no pain doesn’t seem to be an emergency. I’ll get straight onto my Gp tomorrow and see if they can book me into a scan.

If I was you, I would lie and tell them that you have a bit of pain.
I had bleeding when I was about 13-14 weeks, and because it wasn't heavy and I wasn't in pain, they just told me to wait until my next re-scan (another story). Didn't look at the private scan last Sunday, and although bleeding had stopped 2 days before, she told me to say it was still happening.
And it worked, and I got a scan on Tues. If you are feeling anxious, maybe better to say you have a little pain, and then they will have to scan you. Better to know sooner rather than later if a problem. I could have known about a fortnight ago if they had looked into the bleeding, or 3 weeks earlier if they had done the 12 week scan properly.

Good chance all is fine though...

I hope you can get a scan, and that you get good news. Flowers

@amyspames - I’ve been an emotional wreck since yesterday evening. So tomorrow when I call I plan to lay it on thick with it all want to be seen ASAP. Trying to keep it together, with a child here already and a partner who suffers with mental health 😩. It’s exhausting but thank you for your reply.

Don't want to be a downer but when I Mc last year I had barely any pain at all. Everyone told me it would be fine because I had no pain and initially minimal bleeding.
Really hope everything works out for you.

Callie - not sure what is going on with posting, but it will only let me tag myself or @Bumbers in the posts, not you, so hopefully you see it.

Sometimes you have to lay it on thick, otherwise they just don't listen. Although that hasn't always worked for me over the last few days. Hospital confirmed no baby on Tues, and they refused surgery under general, but as I said waiting at home wasn't an option (7 weeks hadn't done it, so why would another 3?), 2 round of medical management didn't work, so told them I had to have it removed as there was no way in hell I was doing round 3 of medical management. They did remove, but not under general, with spinal block, but least it's gone now.

Really hope all does turn out ok for you, and even though I thought it was awful to lie about the bleeding continuing at first, as you might do with lying about the pain, how would they know otherwise. Just means you can deal with it sooner rather than later, as the waiting is bad enough, but under these corona circumstances, it's beyond. If they won't do it, maybe look for private scan if you need to put your mind at ease, or at least know one way or other, just wish I had managed to get one sooner.

Pain isn't a given
I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks and had no pain at all.
You aren't going to know anything without a scan.

Callie1402 · 26/04/2020 17:09

Thanks guys. I’m definitely preparing myself for it being a MC - but also just trying to be positive that all could be okay. But yes Until I’ve had a scan then I’m not going to fully know the answers. I guess everyone’s bodies work in different ways but always nice to get advice etc from others. It’s been 7 years since I’ve had a pregnancy so it’s like all new.

Update - I have a scan booked for Wednesday. Bleeding had pretty much stopped, was told to do another test which is saying a different week scale but I think I have a UTI so levels are lower.

@Callie1402 I hope your scan goes wellFlowers

Callie1402 · 29/04/2020 12:24

@Bumbers I have had the scan at they couldn’t detect the baby, I have been diagnosed with a PUL - so I’ve had bloods and due to have them again in 48 hours. I’m not holding my breath as need to be realistic. But thank you for messaging on here.

I'm sorry it wasnt the outcome you hoped for. I hope you're ok. Flowers

amyspames · 30/04/2020 11:21

@Callie1402 sorry to hear that, hope you are ok under the circumstances. I'm not sure how that is dealt with medically, but there's quite a few people on the missed miscarriage post going through miscarriage, you might find that helpful for what comes next. X x

Callie1402 · 30/04/2020 11:25

@Bumbers @amyspames I’m okay, a little numb. I found out my HGC levels were 30 yesterday so very very low. I had prepared myself I guess and I’m kind of glad it was early on. She said I’ve amazing ovaries so no reason why we can’t try again when the time’s right. Thank you. Xx

@Callie1402 well that's good news if she thinks all is functioning well. Good luck and take care of yourself x
