Miscarriage at 6 weeks

Well here goes I guess...hoped I wouldn't be writing this but here I am. I was 6 weeks pregnant on Saturday. On Sunday when I went to the toilet I started bleeding, it was red and I just knew it wasn't okay. Midwife said as it was only when I went to the toilet to leave it but and see how it went but I just knew things weren't okay. Went to the hospital, had to sit by myself in a and e and then had a pelvic exam and internal scan. Couldn't see anything on the scan, but the Doctor said it was possibly too early and that he didn't see a lot of blood and it seemed brown to him. Admittedly on a pad there wasn't a lot of blood but everytime I went to the toilet there just seemed to be so much. Anyways had a repeat blood test on Tuesday, hcg levels had pretty much halved. That's all the women on the phone really said. And that I would need to go in again tomorrow to do another bloodiest. She didn't even tell me what this drop in hcg meant, I mean I already knew that this means I have lost the baby but it would have felt better having this discussed with me. I still haven't had lots of bleeding other than mainly when I go to the toilet, does this mean the worse is still to come or could this just be how my body is dealing with it? I'm not at work today but I do plan on returning tomorrow, if I'm honest I just want some normality back. Sitting around waiting for more blood is depressing. Right now I just want this part over with so that I can then deal with my emotions. Any advice Right now would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

I'm so sorry for you 💐

I had a miscarriage at around 6/7 weeks and there wasn't really much bleeding tbh. No more than a normal period. If I hadn't have done the test, I would have assumed it was just a late period. I bled for longer than normal but it wasn't horrendous by any means.

I hope you find the strength to get through this. My doctor told me it was my body's practice go and that helped me a lot.

Thank you, I am hoping this is it then to be honest. Hopefully find out more when I go to EPU tomorrow.

I'm so sorry for your loss, @Pepperoni87. I had a miscarriage exactly three weeks ago at 4 weeks and 5 days. I only bled for 5 days and ovulated again this cycle, although ovulation was delayed by 3 days this cycle.

Emotionally I'm still healing and licking my wounds.

Please take care of yourself hugs

Thank you all for your messages, I've had 3 blood tests so far first put my hcg in the 4000 range the second 2 have both been in the 2000 range. I've got a scan and more bloods on Monday morning. I look like a pin cushion in both arms right now. Just want the bleeding to end so I can start moving forward.
