On Tuesday I was shocked to see a firmly positive test. I took a couple more and they were all positive with strong lines. This was on the day after my period was due. I took it as I was feeling extremely feverish which I never have with my period.
Shared the news with my husband as he was so happy. We both were. This would have been our first. I've learnt my lesson, we will show so much more caution if I am lucky enough to get pregnant again.
That same night, I had intense lower back pain. It woke me up. I assumed it was a pregnancy symptom.
In the morning I went to the loo and when I sat down TMI but a gush of blood came out, almost like I was weeing blood.
I knew immediately that it couldn't be implantation bleeding. It was a bit too late for that, and I knew it was not meant to be as heavy as this. The bleeding was so intense I was changing a pad every 30 minutes. Never, ever expected such an early miscarriage to be that intense. I think I was 4 weeks 2 days pregnant.
This heavy bleeding continued for 2 days, with some clots eventually yesterday too. Today, the bleeding stopped for most of the day. Apart from I had 1 random hour of heavy bleeding. And light spotting now.
Today I took more pregnancy tests. They are now negative...
I'm very bloated and tired with a weird stinging sensation/slight pain in my lower abdomen. But other than that and being very sad... I'm OK.
Do I still need to go to the doctor to get checked that everything is OK? An antenatal unit was meant get in touch to do a early scan yesterday for me but they never called me to organise the time.
I guess when I saw the negative tests I thought I should just let it be. But I'd like to know if there's anything wrong with me that caused this.
