Well the doctor definitely thinks I am miscarrying

[AnguaVonUberwald]

Had severe cramping for the last three evenings, followed by slight spotting yesterday and this morning.

Am seven weeks and 1 day pregnant. Can already see the baby in my head.

the doctor said - "will have to wait and see but, the good news is that you managed to get pregnant and than you should therefore be able to do it again", and "these are not good signs". No suggestions that it was likely to be anything else.

Very clear she thinks its most likely a miscariage.

I didn't want to get your hopes up earlier down the thread Angua, but with my first pregnancy, I had so much bleeding that I thought I was having a period and didn't even clock I was pregnant! Once I realised I was (duh!), I rushed to hospital because the bleeding and cramps were so bad and I was convinced it was ectopic. Everything was OK in the end.

The waiting is awful I agree - I was lucky in that I didn't know but I'd hate to think how I would have felt if I did.

Try and get your scan date moved forward and I'll keep on crossing my fingers that everything will be OK.

I got an early scan at 6 wks due to a previous ectopic and heartbeat showed up loud and clear.
I really hope things settle down Angua - this might give you a little more hope - doctors are CRAP at early pregnancy, they assume that you are mad if you even think you are pregnant and see them before 9 wks
So don't necessarily take Gp's words as gospel

Sorry to hear what you're going through Angua. My best friend went through a very similar thing a few months back as she had the uncertainty of what was happening, no real diagnosis from the Dr, no scan offered etc. I know it was hell for her, but she kept hoping right through to the end that her baby would make it, and even though it didn't, hoping made her feel like she was doing something poitive for her baby.

We're all hoping for good news for you.

agree with piffle, my mcs were all v early and the docs were awful about it. having said that tho i had my 1st scan with ds at 5w coz i thought i was 8w and i was bleeding, and i still have the photo of a lovely sac, i had another at 6w and my little bean had a heart beat. make a fuss and insist on a scan.

ooh yes, bump, angua how are you today?

Cramping has stopped, spotting, very lightly continues. My brain is going round and round in circles.

Most importantly, how is the baby, is it ok, when will we know. We have definitly decided to go for a scan, as soon as possible.

Secondary to that is the fact that we have arranged our wedding for when I would be 4 months. Do we cancel that now? Do we wait and see? How close to the wedding do we wait to see if everything is ok?

Also, I am going solo at work today for the first time. So really, really stressed about everything right now, don't know what to do about any of it, and have a tendancy to want to burst into tears. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Angua - this is such a hard time for you - I'm not surprised you feel like crying.

How big is your wedding? I don't think you should cancel it, I think you should look forward to it.

Good luck with going solo at work.

Oh angua you poor thing! Sweetie if you wanna cry you go right ahead, don't bottle it all up. I really hope everything works out ok for you, what an awful time you must be having. As for the wedding, if it's something your looking forward to i say have it, however if you don't feel up to it hun then set the date back a bit.
I know it's easier said than done but try and relax as much as possible, pamper yourself a bit - you deserve it! Chin up

well at least it went well at work today.

I am still spotting slightly everymorning, but it does seem to stop for the rest of the day.

Going to go to a walk in clinic at St Georges in Tooting (thank you weddingcake) on Saturday and ask for a Skan.

Also going to my doctors tommorow so intend to ask her for one (and then go to which ever comes first).

Its a small wedding but its only 5 weeks after the big 12 week point, so our big fear is that if we miscarry at 12/13 weeks we won't want to have a wedding and will have spent all the money etc - on the other hand if I am pregnant, then getting married at 4 months feels perfect.

STill the most important thing is the baby. So waiting with any decisions until the scan on Saturday.

angua, you can (if you want) get a private scan (if you have the dosh) at fairly quick notice. Think Tutter did this quite recently so she may know where you can get one done quickly (think she went to Harley Street). I don't know how much they can see at 7 weeks though.

I think that was the stage I got scanned and they did one of those vaginal scan things rather than an on-your-belly type scan - don't know if things have moved on since then

oh angua I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. I have no personal experience (I am just crap at getting pg!) but I will be thinking of you.

ive just found out im pg and after having 3mcs in the last 18m ive got an appt with a mc doc on the 1st and my gp has requested a scan at the same time. itll be an internal but they can def do it, they did with ds, make a fuss, you cant go on like this

Still thinking of you and keeping everything crossed. xx

Doctor said. "No idea what the odds are, if its ok or not. By now you should have either had a big rush of blood or stopped spotting."

So been sent for an emergency scan tommorow morning!!!

Been spotting for 10 days now.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry the limbo continues. Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

So sorry this has happened. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. I also have an early scan tomorrow, so prayers for us both.

Oh god Angua, keeping fingers crossed for you. Hopefully tomorrow you'll find out for sure what's going on.

good luck for tomorrow angua - at least you'll know what's going on -- finally x

Thanks all. I hope all is still well with you lissielou. Will be thinking of you tommorow Gingirl.

I just want to know now, one way or another. Here's hoping for a positive results tommorow. I know its no guarantee for the future, but at least it would mean everything was ok so far.

really sorry but thought I should pass on the news about Lissielou to you all x

I'm really hoping that all is well for you tomorrow Angua x
