Worried about decreasing symptoms

[Beth98]

Got my dating scan tomorrow at 8 weeks exactly…quite early, but it’s required for CVS testing!

I’m just a bit worried as my last pregnancy ended at 6/7 weeks in a missed miscarriage (never heard a heartbeat and fetal pole was always underdeveloped in every scan).

This time, I’ve had a couple of scans due to spotting and two heavy bleeds. Due to a mild bicornuate uterus, it turned out my right horn is bleeding whilst baby is safely tucked away in the left horn. I was given Progesterone due to spotting in my previous pregnancy too.

I’ve been told to expect more bleeding as there was still a good amount left in the right horn. I’ve seen a strong heartbeat in both scans and baby was measuring right on track.

A week on exactly and I’m worrying about a missed miscarriage being diagnosed tomorrow as I am still bleeding (had a couple of days without then light brown spotting with little clots came back), but my symptoms seem to have reduced quite a lot too over the last few days. I was gagging loads before and would have on and off achey boobs. Now I gag sometimes, but I’m not as sensitive to it and my boobs are not sore much at all. They still look quite big and veiny. My spots have reduced a lot too so my face is clearing up.

I guess I just need to see if people had similar experiences, but continued with a successful pregnancy? Scans terrify me due to what happened in the last pregnancy, so I’m just really nervous for tomorrow.

Advice would be appreciated! 💗 my rational brain is telling me I'm being ridiculous, but pregnancy after loss is just so hard esspecially when you haven't told many people so can't ask your friends/family!

I can't help in terms of similar experience but wanted to say I hope it went ok today. It sounds like you've been through an awful lot and it's understandable to feel that way.

Thank you. They made me wait an hour and a half to tell me it was too early for my dating scan despite me asking explicitly if it was when they moved it to that date! They said as I had a scan at the EPU at 6 weeks, they want me to wait until 10 weeks for my dating scan. Very annoyed, but can't do anything about it!

Think I'm trying to remember that any symptoms I have had so far have been mild throughout, so that makes me feel a bit better! I was back to gagging a lot this morning, and I have had a headache on and off today, so I assume they may be symptoms! X

How did everything turn out, I hope all was good for you, I’m going through similar I’ve had 4 losses,currently at 8 weeks, I’ve had 3 positive scans string heartbeat and growth spot on, been on progesterone since 6 weeks I had a heavy bleed at 7 weeks and I’ve had brown when wiping since being on progesterone I started to relax a bit but then got ill with some kind of flu and like you my breast aren’t really sore anymore and not hot constant confusing feeling between hunger and sickness so now worrying again.

Hello lovely! If it helps I'm currently downstairs having a coffee whilst my nearly 6 month old snoozes upstairs! She was born early (nothing to do with issues early on), but she's thriving and absolutely perfect 💗

Symptoms came back on and off, but it certainly wasn't an indicator that anything was wrong! I ended up staying on progesterone the whole pregnancy as I had a bicornuate uterus, and I do think it helped!

Thank you for your reply,we had our 12 weeks scan yesterday everything is still going well, I changed to using progesterone the back end and I’ve had no cramps or bleeding or brown or anything since, but now I think it’s causing painful constipation 😩😂 but it’s all worth it and causes a bit less anxiety this way,congratulations on your little one ❤️

Amazing! Just as a pre-warning that they will likely recommend moving back to the front end at some point! My midwife did as it's apparently a little more effective x
