Hello lovelies. I started bleeding and cramping on 22nd April, at exactly 6 weeks. I went to an EPU the next day and they could see a gestational sac in the right place but couldn't see a fetus/heartbeat - however, she said I was so early that she couldn't tell whether it was because I started to miscarry or because the fetus was too small to spot. They told me to come back two weeks later.
The next few days I tarted bleeding quite heavily and the cramping got me reaching for a painkiller every few hours, this continued for three days. My ClearBlue week indicator test has also gone down from 3+ weeks to 2-3, so I knew I was miscarrying.
11 days later and I am still bleeding - not heavily, but fresh blood and still cramping slightly. Also, clearblue has said 2-3 weeks for the past 10 days, I'm waiting for it to go down to 1-2 weeks and then finally negative for closure.... Just wondering if this is normal - I expected the bleed to be heavier and only take a few days. What were your experiences like? I suffer from vaginismus so my biggest worry right now is to discover that everything hasn't gone "naturally" and that I need any kind of internal procedure - transvaginal scans are a WORLD of pain for me, same with pap smears etc. :( Anxious all the time. Have my EPU visit this Weds.
