Possible chemical pregnancy (picture attached) TMI

[Soph1954]

Hello, sorry for the long post in advance.
I have been TTC for nearly 8 years, we have been to the doctors and been diagnosed with ‘unexplained fertility’. We have never been pregnant before.
I was 2 days late for my period this month but never tested as what I thought was my period came.
it hasn’t been a normal period, it’s very heavy and watery. Last night I passed a white/creamy red clot, with what I can only describe is a tail on the end. I moved it around with the tissue and accidentally unattached the tail.
could anyone help me if they think this is possibly a miscarriage? I have done some research and understand it’s called a chemical pregnancy.
sorry again for the long post and hope the picture doesn’t offend anyone.
thank you in advance.

Hi, first of all I’m so sorry you’re going through this. If you’ve been ttc to conceive for 8 years has the doctor not referred you to fertility clinic? my doctor was very good and referred me after a year as I understand that’s the normal procedure. In regards to your post about miscarriage/chemical pregnancy i recently had the same, I put a post up about it. Looks very similar to mine, I phoned the early pregnancy unit at my local hospital for some advice and they said it sounds very much like a miscarriage and was advised to take a pregnancy test and if it’s positive to test again in 3 weeks time and if it’s positive again then speak to the gp who will refer for an early ultrasound to check everything, they said it could also be negative and that’s fine it may just be that all the miscarriage has come away and hcg levels back to normal. And that I should allow myself to have a period without ttc and then if mental well being is good and I’m feeling okay to try again the following month then that’s fine to do so. Hope this helps and your okay x

I’m no medical professional but a chemical pregnancy is called that because it’s too small to see. It would be a pregnant under 5 weeks when baby is the size of sesame seed. However if your dates were wrong you could have been further along than a chemical and it is an actual miscarriage. I am currently in the middle of my own - my baby died at 6w4 days and I am passing blood now. I have passed clots but nothing I would say looked like it could be my baby.
