Hello,
I started getting bad lower back pain 8 days ago today when I would have been 6 weeks. I then experienced some bleeding the next day. The EPU got me in for a scan on the Friday where they could find a small sac but it only measured 5 weeks. I had some blood tests which confirmed that my progesterone levels were extremely low at 7 with HCG at 1004 and I would go on to miscarry. They checked by bloods again 48 hours later and my progesterone was 14 and hcg was 1010. They want me to go back in for a scan tomorrow to 'see what's going on' but that I am definitely miscarrying. I guess they want to check it is complete.
My bleeding and pain picked up over last weekend, but it is still very sporadic and there has been no definitive moment where I've thought 'oh this is it'. I would say generally the pain is there most of the time, occasionally getting worse, and the blood is varying from blackish with clots to deep red, but with nothing more than the amount during a very light period. I do get the occasional small 'gush' when I go to the toilet.
Is it normal that this is dragging out so much? I feel that by now I should have had something much more intense happen, if that makes sense. I just want this to be over with 😥
