Suspected Miscarriage - but weeks indicator increasing

14 replies

Kerrylf · 29/01/2025 13:30

I was 5w5d when is started bleeding and cramping along with lines on test being faint and weeks indicator not changing in 2 weeks from 1-2.
I called the EPU who said sounded likely it was a miscarriage but offered no scan due to how early I was. I tested again today (a week later) and my lines are darker and the weeks indicator has increased. Is this normal whilst still bleeding during a suspected miscarriage? I may just be hoping it's not what they think it is.

Are you bleeding heavily? I passed huge clots with my miscarriage and I was flooding pads in minutes. If it's just a light bleed it could well be implantation an irritated cervix? X

I have passed small clots intermittently Nd the bleeding is like a heavy period sometimes but not bled through pads like you mentioned. It slowed down last night.and was only when I wiped and then heavier again today but not seen clots for a few days x

Can you afford a private scan to check what's going on? Sending love x

Maybe that's what I need to do. I've read posts about a subchorionic hematoma but I could.just be finding any reason for it not to be a miscarriage x

I bleed almost the way till around 16 weeks. It was bloody terrifying. It was a subchorionic hematoma. I was put on bed rest which is actually not generally recommended. Anyhow, my DC is 6 now. You don't know until you've scanned.

Did you take a pregnancy test? I would definitely book in to see the GP if it was negative. I know small clots in a period are normal but this is far from small. Hope you are ok

I took a few tests and they were faint positive. I went to the hospital and my HCG levels were negative for pregnancy so I’m not sure. :( thankyou though.

This is what my miscarriage looked like. The pieces you show are usually the uterus lining etc. I'm very sorry x

i think I’m still in denial about it really. How many weeks were you if you don’t mind me asking. I’m sorry you had to go through that, it’s not easy

Unfortunately, it was the outcome I expected 😔 x
