1st pregnancy ending in miscarriage at 5/6 weeks. Please tell me your stories!

[Nannon145]

I am currently going through my 1st miscarriage and this was my 1st pregnancy. Currently having a medium flow with hardly any cramping.

1. What was your miscarriage like? Should I expect cramping and heavier flow?

Also, looking into the future I do want to try again straight away, we really really want a baby and are seeing this as ‘not meant to be’ as heartbreaking as it is. Thinking about trying again scares me though.

So, 2. How soon after your miscarriage did you conceive and was it a successful pregnancy?

When I realised I was having a miscarriage, I was distraught, and coming to this website has made me realise how common it actually is and I really do think it should be spoken about more in day to day life.

please everyone tell me your stories, I want to hear them all. It will really help me get through this and feel like I’m not on my own

Thank you. ❤️

@Eboney7 Trying my best to keep hopeful and leave it in God's hands, glad to hear your sil went on to have her babies, it definitely helps to hear positive stories xx

Hi - you are definitely not alone! A few days ago I also suffered a miscarriage at 7 weeks and we were distraught, being our first too! Friday I had what I can only describe as the worst period cramping I have ever experienced (my periods are bad this was really bad) but no bleeding that evening. The next day the pain was very intense and bright red blood , at 11am I had a sudden urge or real pain and passed a big clot - I was horrified and at the time I felt I was so alone - hubby was with me and so supportive. I went straight to A&E and they looked after me so well . I was seen within 5 mins , bloods taken , urine tested , gynaecology waiting for me , hcg levels were still pretty high . Had an internal and my cervix was closed however I was bleeding heavily. I still had some hope . This was on the Saturday. I had to return on the Monday for a scan and more bloods etc . I had convinced myself we had lost the baby although hubby was positive. Sadly we had miscarried and no baby on scan . We were devastated . Bleeding has subsided and hcg level was at 4 yesterday so very low and negative test . Was amazed how quickly the hormones can decrease . We are very sad 😔 but understand this time wasn’t meant to be . We are going on a staycation on Monday and all being well will try again . The worst thing for me is not understanding why it happened and just how common it is . You are in my thoughts too . Good to hear such positive stories for 2nd pregnancy xxx
