NannyGR · 18/10/2016 21:33

I'm so confused right now.... am either 71/2 or 10 weeks pregnant (unsure of dates/implantation) had slight spotting last Wednesday but was gone within the day. Now had sex last night and have been bleeding since this am, has gradually got worse during the day... have attached picture of latest time (sorry if tmi) I just need advice... can't get through to ebu and am waiting for a call back from 111. Also must add no other signs or symptoms of miscarriage no cramping ect!! Please help me through this... this is my first pregnancy after trying for over 4 years and I can't bare to think the worst!!

So sorry to hear you're in this position OP - it must be torture waiting and waiting.

Oh dear I was sent for scans same day or next day when I was bleeding. Is there any chance you can go private? It seems unkind to just leave you to wait.

BastardGoDarkly · 19/10/2016 18:26

Did they do your blood? Can they check your hcg levels from that?

They might be wrong, I'm shocked they're not sending you for a scan

Could you book a private scan? You shouldn't have to but at least then you'd have an idea as to what is going on.

basketofironing · 19/10/2016 18:38
Flowers I'm also a bit shocked that they wouldn't refer for a scan based on the amount of blood. I had a Mmc which I was back and forth to the gynae emergency unit for and it was only after a heavy bleed they paid attention! Second pregnancy I had some bleeding and went straight to a&e where I was referred for a scan two days later. She's now a healthy six month old monster Smile

But yes, though bleeding is common in early pregnancy, push for a scan to be done. It's the only way to know for sure. Really feel for you OP.

I just don't know if I can justify spending £100 to find out my baby is gone....
She said it wouldn't be wise sending me for a scan as there could still be a heartbeat at this stage, and that would only give me false hope. She said my cervix is open which indicates a miscarriage along with the blood. Was supposed to be having all my bloods done tomorrow but she advised me to cancel that appointment as there would be no point in doing them. Just wait 2 weeks and do a pregnancy test and by then it should show up negative. I'm absolutely devastated!!!!!!!

NannyGR I am devastated for you. There are no words - I know from our previous chat how excited you were about your baby.

So much warmth and strength to you over the coming days and weeks. I am so sorry.

BastardGoDarkly · 19/10/2016 18:46

Oh love, I'm so very sorry.

Rachie1986 · 19/10/2016 18:46

So sorry to hear this. Hoping ever hung turns out ok, or at the very least you know one way or the other soon. Have you got some RL support?

ByeByeLilSebastian · 19/10/2016 18:52

No advice op, just sending lots of love ❤

Thirtyrock39 · 19/10/2016 18:55

I have had bleeding in two pregnancies one had a happy ending one a sad ending . I was given a scan with both and I have to say it gave me false hope as heartbeat and added to the emotional roller coaster so a scan is not conclusive and I think although really hard I can see why they think you shd wait a few days . Put yourself on bed rest till then and really hoping all works out for you

I'm really sorry x I've had two miscarriages this year, one at 6 weeks which was just like a slightly heavier period, and one at 10 weeks which was pretty awful tbh. I don't want to upset you but I was totally unprepared for it, especially as I'd had one before and it had been fine. It sounds like you've not been treated with much compassion by the hcps you've seen. I was lucky that I was treated with a lot of kindness. Take it as easy as you can. My miscarriage started as id expected it to but rapidly turned into an emergency (that's why she was asking about blood pouring down your leg). If anything worries you or gets worse please don't hesitate to call 111 or go to a & e. I've also had bleeding in my healthy pregnancies so I really am keeping everything crossed for you Flowers

Trulyamnearanear · 19/10/2016 19:08

I'm so sorry op. Flowers too many of us have been there. Take care of yourself.

amysmummy12345 · 19/10/2016 19:13

Flowers fingers crossed for you op xx

MistresssIggi · 19/10/2016 19:17

Was the nurse going to check your hgc levels tomorrow? I think there's a point in doing that, as if the levels have dropped you have your answer. Waiting for two weeks sounds horrendous.

chowchowchow · 19/10/2016 19:35

I'm so sorry to read this. And so sorry to here there has been very little support for you. Well, you have support here. I'm still holding onto hope that it isn't a MC. All the best xxx

NickyEds · 19/10/2016 20:35

So sorry op. Keeping everything crossed that they're wrong. Please try and take it easy and don't hesitate to call them if the bleeding gets worse or you start experiencing pain.

KitKat1985 · 19/10/2016 21:04

I'm sorry OP. xxx

Musicinthe00ssucks · 19/10/2016 21:10

I'm so so sorry OP. Don't give up hope on becoming pregnant again. Get plenty of rest and look after yourself. Flowers

Thingymaboob · 19/10/2016 21:47

I'm so sorry. You don't have to wait 2 weeks to find out whether you've miscarried.
I got some brown discharge at 6 weeks and thought that was normal / common as so many people say how common it is. Still had positive pregnancy test. Went to EPAU, no sac, no baby, I had miscarried. My HCG levels were still high enough for positive pregnancy test.
They can take your HCG levels then repeat them 48 hours later. I'm really shocked that they want you to wait. That's awfully stressful. My EPAU scan all bleeds during pregnancy. The doctors can "think" what they like but if they aren't going to do HCG levels or scan you, they don't know!

glitterandtinsel · 19/10/2016 21:52

I'm so sorry for your loss. Flowers

drinkyourmilk · 19/10/2016 22:32

nanny how devastating Flowers
I'm so sorry you are having to go through this, and that you are being made to wait so long. I do understand their reasoning, but it seems so cruel.
I'd take time off work and rest as much as possible.

Thinking if you .
