After the inital shock of finding out I am pregnant again, I have started bleeding today. Phoned the emergancy gp and of course he said that it could be a miscarriage, so he tried to get me an appointment at the EPU but noone is there, so I have to phone my gp tomorrow.. I have a very slight pain on my right hand side, and the bleeding is light. I asked about ectopic pregnancy and he said I would be in serevre pain, which I am not.

SGK Hows it going? Had the results yet? Im still in a lot of pain.

Thanks for the post Lulumama-I know you have an interest in pregnancy. Have you ever heard of lots of back pain just being normal/ok and not meaning a mc?

SparklyGothKat · 06/01/2007 18:46

not had the results yet but he did say thatI am to phone him at 8pm if I haven;t heard from him, as he might be in theatre

How are you feeling, Sparkly?

lissielou · 06/01/2007 18:51

how are you two doing today?

SparklyGothKat · 06/01/2007 18:56

I feel tired today, I have a cold and feel drained. But the pain and bleeding has stopped. I am hoping that the HCG levels have risen to above 1000 as the doc said that as long as they have risen by at least 40% its a good sign..

Fingers crossed for good results. So glad the pain and bleeding has stopped.

lulumama · 06/01/2007 19:00

edie...the sort of pain you are having is not something i have heard of in conjunction with miscarriage BUT am loathe to say either way IFYSWIM..sounds more likely to be a back injury or even a severe UTI....go to docs if not been yet and fingers crossed for you x

SparklyGothKat · 06/01/2007 19:01

edie, the pian I had was in my right side but moved into my back, it was terrible, and the hospital think its an infection.
