This is a miscarrige isn't it? *Warning Picture Included*

[ThoughtThisOneWouldStick]

My last period was 26th July. I found out in was pregnant on the 28th August. Yesterday I started spotting pink when I wiped and throughout the day it turned brown so I was hoping it was just old blood or implantation bleeding

Put a pad on before I went to sleep last night, woke up and the pad was fairly full of brown blood. Went to the toilet not long ago and this was there when I wiped

I've got slight twinges in my back but that's it. With my other miscarriages ( all around 6 weeks ) they started with severe pain in one of my sides, that eventually moved towards the middle of my stomach and shooting pains up my bum. They were all very painful.

Part of me is hoping it's not another miscarrige but it is isnt it. Just doesnt seem to be as painful as my previous ones

@ThoughtThisOneWouldStick Hello, I'm really sorry for your previous losses. I've just seen this post and didn't want to read and run, did the bleeding continue? I hope you are okay x

Thank you for replying. My other miscarriages were before I had my 2 DC ( 5 & 3 ) I am very grateful that I have these two, I remember with my previous miscarriages just being so upset that I didnt have any baby at all. At least I have these 2. I am trying to ignore any feelings of upset

The bleeding has continued but hasn't been heavy, just slight dots in a pad and when I wipe. DP is out getting another pregnancy test atm as my experience is if it is a miscarrige the test will be fainter than my positives ( very strong lines ).

Part of me is still hoping it was a false alarm as what is on that picture is nothing like my previous losses. And a silly part of me thinks maybe it was twins and it was just one baby.... I know that's silly and the reality is I probably have had a miscarrige

My first pregnancy ended at 24 weeks. After him I had 3 miscarriages all within a year. I then had my now 5 year old. Then 2 more miscarriages. Then my 3 year old and a miscarrige after him. I'd completely forgot about the miscarrige after him until I spoke to my sister yesterday.

It's just very sad isn't it.

Well the test I've just took hasn't been very helpful. I know I would still have leftover hormones but with it being my 3rd wee of the day and an assumed miscarrige I assumed it would of been a lot lighter

Just a waiting game now isn't it

It is so sad, I'm really sorry for your losses it sounds like you've had a hard time with them over the years. I have just recently had a mc with my first pregnancy and it just knocks you so much. I hope it works out for you and the pregnancy progresses 🤞🏼 xx

Can you contact your local EPU? You may need to be referred by your GP but it varies by area so it’s worth checking. That line is really dark so there may be some hope. At 6 weeks they’d be able to see a pregnancy on scan, but they’d usually test your hormone levels were going up first.

Northernsoul90 I'm sorry for your loss, it really does doesnt it. The emptiness of it. I hope you get your baby soon x

I rang the EPU who said I needed to ring the out of hours GP, they said to ring 111, 111 rang the EPU, the EPU rang me and I have to ring back tomorrow at 8am to book a scan

I just dont know what to think at this point, I've not filled a full pad all day but everytime I've wiped theres been watery blood.

I'm going to take another test in the morning and also ring the EPU once I've got the kids ready

Looks like a big clot doesn’t it.
It’s terribly sad.

With my miscarriages I never bothered with any pregnancy tests because I once still got a positive 3 weeks after all bleeding had stopped and miscarriage as over. To me, they give absolutely no meaningful information whatsoever.

Neither did blood tests, HCG, just told me what I already knew so I declined to have them.
The scan was the definitive answer for me.

It’s a very sad state of affairs when i know that much in depth and say no to the things that I desperately Clung on to for answers and hope at my first, second and third miscarriages. Those that came after, I just didn’t bother.

crosser62 I'm so sorry for your losses, it changes you doesnt it.

With my other miscarriages my positives quickly turned to negatives. A scan will be the only definite answer for me too

After googling the address they gave me I've realised theyve given me the EPU for a hospital 40 minutes on a bus from me ( I dont drive )

I live a 10 minute bus ride from a different hospital, is there anyway i can request that they change my appointment to a closer hospital?

Hey hope you okay.... ive been there too. I used the clear blue test after my bleed which came up not pregant. And I was roughly 10 weeks. How are you feeling now? With my ectopic which I had after the miscarriage I bled quite heavy with strong cramps xx

Ime mc contain blue tissue...

dollypops15 Thank you, I just dont know how to feel at the moment. Half of me Hope's theres still a viable pregnancy and half of me is telling myself it has ended. I'm sorry for your losses, I've been worried about it being an ectopic and they said the bleeding would be really heavy with an ectopic. I feel ok in myself, with the other miscarriages I was drained and in pain for a while.

Itsrainingnotmen All my other miscarriages have looked like a red fried egg with blue/grey & I could feel them passing. The pain was horrific. Whatever is going on with me hasn't been anywhere near as bad as in the past

The early pregnancy unit can be quite funny about seeing you. I was in and out of there for weeks. I ended up going to he same day health centre that ran bloods every 2 days to see if my levels went up or down xx

dollypops15 I'm in a different area to when I had my previous miscarriages,

In my old area everytime I had to rkng up about suspected miscarrige they would tell me to come down for a scan that day. All I had to do was ring the EPU unit, this time around it's been completely different compared to my hometown.

One of the people on the phone said if I had any sudden severe pain then to take myself to A&E.

I'm definetly going to have to see if I can go to the EPU closer to me ( 5 mins in a taxi, 10 mins on a bus ) compared to the 40 minute away EPU. I dont know where the further away hospital is and womt be able to childcare for 3 + hours

I'm in EPU. Their test came back positive too so now I'm waiting to see a doctor for an examination then depending if my cervix is open or closed they will scan me if theres a slot available today

So right now all I know is that their tests say I'm pregnant too but nobody knows if I actually still am

Part of me is still hoping everything is ok

Just wanted to say I really hope you get some answers today. I’ve had the above twice - once a miscarriage and once result in my DD, so can’t give you much either way I’m afraid but will be thinking of you x

I cant really give advice either way, but wanted to offer a handhold. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that its positive news! Here to chat if that makes the waiting easier for you too!

Lemming20 Thank you. I can't really remember what happened with the previous miscarriages. I just remember being so broken about them and the pain of it.

xsamix86 Thank you, at this point the waiting is the worst bit isn't it. Just want a definite answer

Still waiting to be seen but someone just came in and said the doctors are just doing a change over then the doctor will start seeing us

Waiting gives so much time for over thinking! I hate it, especially in troublesome situations! Hopefully you will be seen really soon. Is there anything you want to talk about to take your mind off it? Favourite movie? Last book you read perhaps? X

I have no advice but just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and hoping for good news.

Hoping for good news for you too.

The not knowing is so hard. Best of luck

You poor thing, it is such a horrible place to be. I will be honest, I have had 6 miscarriages but the most terrible bleeding was with my oldest child and that pregnancy obviously happily went to full term. There really isn't any way of knowing unless they can scan but even that is pretty early for the definitive answer. Ask if they can check your bloods every 48 hours to make sure the numbers continue going up (doubling).
So hard playing the waiting game.

Had an examination and my cervix is closed which they said is a very very good sign. I'm just waiting for a scan now so will have some answers very soon

I'm definetly getting my hopes but that I'm still pregnant

I'll be devastated at this point if I'm not. It's been a very emotional day

Thank you for all the replies and well wishes x

I hope you are ok.

Fingers crossed for you op.
