Likely miscarriage at 7 weeks, heart shaped uterus

[strawberrycream1233]

I was 7 weeks pregnant and I’m 99% sure I’ve had a miscarriage.
started on Thursday with brown spotting. Then yesterday had a lot of pink discharge, which turned into thick red gushes, and then later bright red with lots of clots, finally with a very large clot in the evening. It’s easing off now but I’m still cramping pretty badly.

im clutching at straws I know, but I do have a bicornuate (heart shaped) uterus and I’ve read that women with this often have heavy bleeds early in pregnancy, as the side of the womb without the sack doesn’t register the pregnancy and has a period and sheds.

EPU won’t see me until Monday and I just wondered if anyone had any experiences either way that might be a wake up call to accept things, or maybe provide some hope it’s not all over so soon.

thanks for reading

Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately I had a miscarriage earlier this year and what you’ve described does sound similar to what I experienced.

I hope that you’re okay. Really hope you receive better news on Monday.

Hi hun,

I also have a Bicornuate uterus and went through very similar last month, unfortunately it wasn’t a happy ending. In fairness I bled for over two weeks, very heavy and with some huge clots but the baby was absolutely fine. Had regular private scans and one nhs and all was well, healthy wriggly baby. I then had lots of pain but they wouldn’t scan me as baby showed fine a few days before and when I went for my 12 week scan a week later there was no baby at all 🙁 from what I can gather it is really common with a Bicornuate uterus to have such bleeding and we could see the reaction on the other side on every scan so I don’t think it was the reason for my mc. It’s such a stressful thing to go through. If it reassures you I have read stories of women with the same and they have carried to term and gave birth to healthy babies. I really hope the it’s a different outcome for you, keeping everything crossed xx

I have a bicournuate and had heavy bleeding both pregnancy’s.
The second was worse I bled very heavy for the first 12 or so weeks. Heavy clots too.
Both pregnancies ended up with 2 healthy boys tho!
I just had lots of fun extra scans!

Thank you so much for replying. I’m so sorry for your losses, it’s the worst pain isn’t it :(

I have a scan tomorrow at 9.10 (finally!) so will update here. My instincts are all telling me it’s a MC though :(

really sorry you are going through such stress in your pregnancy,
im glad you’ve got a scan tomorrow I thought it strange they wouldn’t see you - even for monitoring and bloods!

hope things work out and baby (and you) are ok.

Hi Op.

I have a heart shaped uterus.

My first two pregnancies I had heavy bleeding throughout, but resulted in healthy babies. So many 'threatened miscarriages', it was stressful - many tears shed.

Then I had two miscarriages (we're more prone to them I understand) trying for #3

Then finally another healthy pregnancy and baby, strangely with hardly any bleeding this time.

What you're describing does sound like a miscarriage, but you'll know when you have your scan.

I'm really sorry if it is, and I hope you have a healthy baby soon.

I've been checking for an update, glad you are finally being seen although I did think they would see you before now 🙁 I'll be keeping everything crossed for you today, fingers crossed it's just the other side playing tricks. I really really hope it's a happy outcome for you xx

Fingers crossed on positive outcome xx

Thank you so much for replying. It was another miscarriage :( I knew it deep down but it still hurt hearing that nothing could be found on the scan :(
trying not to dwell… my husband doesn’t understand why it’s affecting me so much :(

Sorry to hear that OP. 😢

So sorry sweetie, it's such a heart wrenching thing to go through 💜 I don't think men do really have an understanding of how badly it affects us, I was in bits for weeks after mine, give yourself time to grieve and be kind to yourself, sending lots of love xx

Your husband's attitude is disappointing. I don't see why it's so hard to understand that miscarriage can be traumatic and sad.

Take care of yourself and seek support from others if he doesn't get his act together.

I miscarried early twice. The first time I was devastated and basically in bed crying for two days. It took two weeks before I was ready to return to work. I'm not a dramatic person at all, and have carried on and worked through all kinds of other difficult things. But miscarrying a wanted pregnancy, it just shook me to my core.

Your feelings are warranted. Take care of yourself.

Hello, hopping on to this post as I just want to find someone in a similar situation to me. I’ve got a bicornuate uterus, which I’ve only found out about a few weeks ago.
I had a large bleed in my uterus in my last pregnancy and that resulted in a missed miscarriage.
im now 8 weeks pregnant with a new pregnancy and I had an early scan at 6 weeks, everything was fine but that’s where they found the bicornuate uterus. I then had some really heavy bright red bleeding at 7 weeks and thought I’d 100% miscarriaged but thankfully baby was fine but they did find another large bleed 60mm. They put me on progesterone and the bleeding subsided to brown spotting. I had a scan a few days after finding the bleed and they said the bleed had reduced to 20mm and looked as if it was clotted which was a good sign.
4 days later and I’ve started bleeding heavy red blood again and have cramps. I can’t have a scan for another 2 days and I’m just panicking and I can’t find anyone that has had anything similar.
if anyone can relate and has got some positive or just honest options/what happened to them that would be great.
thank you in advance
