I don't want to give you false hope, but when I was 6 wks with my second, I had a sudden gush of blood. Soon afterwards I started to get horrible stomach cramps. I think they were more severe because I was panicking. I went into the clinic and was told that I was probably miscarrying, to go home and they'd send me for a scan in a week.

I didn't bleed anymore and I didn't know if the baby was dead or alive. I went for my scan and they said everything was fine, the blood and cramps they put down to a 'messy implant'.

Hope that's true in your case. x

So sorry you've had such a scary, worrying time. Hope the GP can help. Thinking of you.

Thankyou for the experience Rhubarb

DH is looking after me, we are leaving for the docs in 45 mins. Doc is family friend so will do his best for me.

Try to stay calm, if you've had no more blood then that's a good sign. Fingers crossed for you.

Rhubarb · 09/02/2009 14:11

Oh, you need to look for clots in the blood, if there are no clots, just blood, then it could be a messy implant.

the gush was darkish but still red just blood

The cramping could also be down to you panicking. I was cramping too, dh had to carry me out of the taxi we'd taken to get home. It was that more than anything, which convinced me I was miscarrying.

But please don't raise your hopes too high, I may be wrong.

I have no hope Rhubarb, don't worry! I am finding it hard to get up, i think its the shcok of seeing blood.

Ok, no clots, that's good. I found this which lists possible reasons. And this on implantation bleeding.

Rhubarb · 09/02/2009 14:20

Would you have started your period today?

KC11 · 09/02/2009 14:23

Hi. I'm new. Hope the GP/EPU can give you good news. I've never been pregnant. Been trying to four years. Don't know if I could have been ten days ago, but the pain was excruciating. I think i could have miscarried without even knowing. Hope you get good news

Can you stand up and walk around now without losing anymore? Are you still cramping?

ScorpiowithabigS · 09/02/2009 14:25

Hope it's positive, or at the least, not negative news.

Rhubarb · 09/02/2009 14:28

Read this. I really hope I'm not giving you false ideas here.

Don't expect any answers at the GPs. When I went they said there was nothing they could do, they'd have to book me in for a scan to see if there was a heartbeat. I had to wait a week, it was one of the worst weeks of my life. I'll see if I can't find it on Mumsnet.

Doctor here is very good indeed, i will ask for a vaginal scan at epu ASAP; I'm sure she will.

Really, it doesnt give me ideas; i really know that each woman is different.

This is what I posted in April 2003.

"I started bleeding today, at a Christening would you believe? I also have abdominal pains. I'm booked in tomorrow for a scan but I know it's gone already. Thanks for the support."

"Jimjams - I apologise in advance for the post on the other thread! I stopped bleeding yesterday. Went for a scan this morning which basically said that the pregnancy sac is still there, which was a shock for me. However there is a large blood clot above it. This could indicate the start of a miscarriage, this is what happens in most cases, but in some cases, this simply gets absorbed by the uterus and the pregnancy carries on as normal. It is too early to say if the foetus is alive or not. I have another scan booked for a week tomorrow when they can see what has happened to the blood clot, and if the sac has grown at all. The doctor gave the pregnancy a 50/50 chance of continuing. Of all the possible scenarios I had in my mind, this is quite possibly the worst! I would much rather either miscarry, or be told it is fine, but to be left in limbo is just awful! We've had to cancel our Easter break and now we are just waiting - don't really know what for! I still think I will probably miscarry so I guess I am waiting for that to happen. Dh is hopeful it will continue. I guess this is justice! Did someone quote "Be careful what you wish for, it might come true"? I feel awful at present. A whole muddle of feelings. I don't know what to hope for or what to focus on at all! So I'll take a little break from Mumsnet, but will come back if anything happens. The support I've had on here really has helped and does continue to help! I think I just need to get my head around this one."

Hey scorpio - thinking of you. Best of luck at docs I will hav everything crossed x

Scorpio has asked me to let you know she is taking a bit of a break.
She has definitely miscarried.
HCG level is very low, clots are coming, pregnancy test faint etc.
She says the GP was lovely, offered her a scan but she refused it as she knows there is no chance now.
She thanks everyone for their support.
