Early pregnancy unit at your hospital. Give them a call. Hope all works out ok.

Or the gp?

I think most hospitals have an early pregnancy unit. Please phone your hospital and ask if you can be seen by a midwife or epu.

Bleeding is very common in early pregnancy but take it easy if you can.

Doctor will most likely say- "let the nature take it's course", but if it helps you - please ring your GP's surgery for a chat / appointment with a nurse or doctor.
When I had my 3rd loss (gave sample for genetic testic as we were under fertility consultant), which started on a Monday, the consultant said (on Friday) that if the bleeding doesn't ease up by Monday, to call them and come in for a check. There was no need as by that Monday things had gotten lighter.
Basically it's your call. The only medication I had was neurofen (paracetamol doesn't do much to help me), but you may want something stronger- in which case again I'd suggest a chat with your doctor.
Look after yourself!

Are there any numbers on your antenatal care record? (mine has some useful numbers, such as EPU, printed on the front)

Really sorry this is happening to you OP. Sad

Call your GP or mw I think, unless you can self refer to the EPU (seems to differ by area). I had 2 mcs and a big scare and each time was referred for an early scan to check what was going on. Some women have cramps and bleeding and go on to have a healthy pg but you can't really know without a scan.

If the bleeding gets very heavy or the pain very bad then I would go to A&E.

Hugs. Thinking of you.

I've had experiences of bleeding, twice it led to miscarriage (even though heartbeats were seen) once I had bleeding and large clots came out but the pregnancy was fine.

So it can go either way.

Please remain hopeful and try to remain strong... Even with a not so good outcome you can try to become pregnant again, which for me was the best way to get over mine.

Hope things go ok!
