I think I'm having a third miscarriage

I am dead on five weeks today but I am having pinkish brown spotting. This has never ended well for me before and I think this is my third miscarriage. I just don't want to tell someone and be sad so please don't tell me about when you had brown spotting and it was fine (it hasn't been twice for me now) or that I should go to epu (won't see me until 6 weeks). I just wanted to tell someone.

FlowersFlowers Handhold for you @Timeforanamechangeagain1 be kind to yourself.

Sorry OP, i've been there, multiple times. Allow yourself to cry, be angry, upset etc. Regardless of how far along you were, you are still grieving for something you've lost/that will never be. x

Thank you. I think I am too numb to have any of those emotions. We lost our, we've tried for 18 months pregnancy, we lost our, conceived the next cycle pregnancy, now we've lost our, emotionally recovered we were just enjoying life again pregnancy

I am so sorry @Timeforanamechangeagain1, I had my third loss in February. Be kind to yourself ❤️

Thank you again everyone. The bleeding started up properly yesterday morning and I was able to be scanned at the epu (even though I'm not six weeks my GP spoke to them due to my history) and they confirmed there was nothing there (as I knew). I've now passed several large clots so at least it seems to be clearing properly (my second MC at eight weeks had failed medical management and I had to have a d&c). If nothing else at least this one was early.

I'm so, so sorry. My GP told me they wouldn't do any investigations until I had had three MC, so are they going to do that for you now?

Timeforanamechangeagain1 · 02/05/2020 08:27

@Addler my GP has been incredibly supportive and was very sorry he couldn't refer after two. He has asked me to go away and think about what I would like to do and make any referral needed. I just need to decide if I want to 'bother' because I am now 40 (although technically two of the miscarriages were when I was 39) and all three have been in the last six months, it could well just be my age

I'm sorry to hear that @Timeforanamechangeagain1 my last mc was very early and I don't know if it's a combination of having been through loss twice before and general apathy but it didn't surprise me that I had another loss.

I'm slightly younger but I had recurrent mc blood tests and nothing has shown up. I was halfway through uterine nk cells tests, my first one was normal. So I think my losses are just bad luck and we might never know.

Sending you lots of love ❤️

I am so sorry you are going through this again. I had my 3rd loss last month. We were offered Karyotyping which we accepted but I'm of the same mind set as you. I turn 41 next month and after 4 years of TTC, I'm just feeling like our time is now up. I've heard that Karyotyping has now been put on hold due to the current climate so we won't get answers anyway. Please look after yourself and your partner x
