Im New and a little nervous with a few q's on misscarriage....

[fluffyflowers]

Sorry this may be a bit long but to put you in the picture my situation is, ive got 2 healthy girls, never had a problem with concieving or had any miscarriages before. Weve been trying for our 3rd child for about 5months now. For the last 2weeks maybe a bit longer ive been feeling 'pregnant ie. been feeling sick, dizy etc like i have done when carrying my daughters. I havnt done a test as was waiting for my period to arrive in the next 2weeks, if it didnt i was going to do a test.
Since Wednesday ive had some bad back pain and for the last 4days ive had some really bad period like pains but more like contractions not just period pain. I was also bleeding quite heavily but the blood looks strange like its almost clotted not like normal period blood(sorry 4 2much info)Today its been alot less, its almost stopped completely.
Has anybody been through this, does it sound like a mis-carriage if so if i did a test now would it still be positive??
My periods are always light and last for 3 days.
Sorry for waffling on i just needed to talk to somebody and get some advice, i dont want to go to the doctor and look stupid!
Thanks

Hello.
Sorry you are going through this.
I would go to he doctor if I were you. Don't worry about looking stupid, you really aren't. This happens to a lot of women. It could just be due to implantation but best to check it out. A pregnancy test would very likely still show positive even if it was a miscarriage as the hormones stay up for a while.
Best of luck.

Hun don't be nervous....get down the docs, i would say, could be nothing, better to be safe than sorry though..x

Hi, i did a test this morning which showed a faint positive line after about 3minutes which then dissapeared within 10minutes and only the control line stayed visible??
Anyway i phoned the doctors this morning, the doctor was particularly UNHELPFUL (obv failed to notice that i had barely slept all night and was already at the point of dropping to my knees and sobbing uncontrolably!)
She said if i wanted to have an appointment today then she would see me but theres nothing she can do if it was a miscarriage and to just rest and go back in 10days if i have any more bleeding or the pain hasnt eased. She said she would prescribe me antibiotics incase everything didnt come out theres a chance of infection. I know in my head that it was a misscariage, the last time i did a test which showed negative was about 5 and a half weeks, so i know it was early days and the doctor said because it sounds like a early miscarriage a scan would be no help, dont really understand why but think ive read that somewhere else aswell.
Sorry 4 going on again, just DP went to work as normal and has barely mentioned it all weekend and when he says whats wrong with you? and i say im in pain still, he asks why? I feel like just picking him up and throwing him against the wall(not that i physically could of course!)
Because i havnt been through this before i didnt know whether i should go and see her and waste her time or whether there really is nothing that they can do and im better of at home wrapped up with a duvet!!

Thanks 4 your replies makes me feel better just knowing that somebodys listening.

hi

i would go back, i found the doctors usless and not very helpfull at all. i did talk to a doctor who had returned from mat leave and she said you know your own body trust it.

i found my man was as in shock as i was and does not really know how to help us. i read alot of forums with him and how people felt and how long the feelings would go on for, that seemed to help him and as this is our first we did not really know what to do. my bf is mr not emotional about anything. but i felt it really helped, so when i have a bad 5 now he knows why. i think they dont know what to do for you as they are emotional too as they have lost aswel.

hope it helps x

Thanks for your reply linseys, i started bleeding heavily not long after i'd wrote my last post so just went straight to the doctor and asked to be seen, i was seen by a lovely lady who luckily wasnt the same one that made me feel so s**t this morning.
Shes confirmed the miscarriage wants to see me again on wednesday to check my levels are returning to normal. She just advised as its already started happening naturally it will carry on hopefully with no need for intervention. She said to excpect a sac to come away, im terrified at the thought of this and scared that i dont know what to excpect ive read so many different stories, some even saying that they can see the 'baby' once its come out. Sorry for the sensitive questions but i feel like i just wont know what to do when this happens. They've put me at 5.5weeks, my dp has been great since this happened this morning, but thanks 4 your advice on this think it may be worth a try.
xx

hi fluffy try not to worry too much about passing the sac. this is a really early miscarriage (not that it makes it any less heartbreaking, as i know myself only too well) and in my experience (i've had four, two of them 'natural' miscarriages, the other two missed mcs which required ERPRC) it's really not that big a deal physically speaking. with my first miscarriage, at seven weeks, i didn't even notice the sac passing. with the second miscarriage, at about eight weeks, i felt a lump or clot passing but again i didn't really see anything. at your stage there really wouldn't be more than a small clot, i don't think, and there's every chance you won't really notice. it is wonderful that you have two lovely DCs and the chances are your next pregnancy will be fine..

kissmummy Im so sorry to hear that you've suffered 4 of these, like you say even an early miscarriage is a loss of a child and therefore devastating.
I just wanted some honest advice. Thats made me feel better thanks i think ive been googleing it too much and reading horror stories which is probably the worst thing to do!
The pain i have been in during the night has been unberable at points, i never imagined it would be this painful especially as i thought that id passed most of it over the weekend before it eased off and started again. I know im very lucky to have my dd's there keeping me smiling at the moment and make me get up in the morning instead of mopping around in bed feeling sorry 4 myself.im normally such a strong,matter of fact person but the last few days ive just felt like a mess!
Can i ask how long did you loose blood for after your natural miscarriages? The doctor said it could be upto 10-14days??
Thanks again for your reply xx
