6 weeks and bleeding

Hi all,

As the title says, I'm a 6 weeks (and 2 days) today. This evening, I went to the toilet and, to my horror, there was some dried bright red blood in my underwear. Then, when I wiped, there was quite a lot of dark, almost black blood with some fairly big clots.

I had an early miscarriage in October and it just felt like the same thing again.

I went to the EPU and they were lovely. They did a pregnancy test which was positive (but I don't know how dark it was or anything. So I don't know if my levels are dropping of that makes sense)

They have booked me in for a scan on Tuesday afternoon. I have had no bleeding since and no pain.

I am so scared of having another miscarriage. I will be devastated.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience of this? Is there still some hope?

Just a bit of an update and want to share some info I have got from my Chinese doctor.
I just had a scan yesterday and I was so relieved to see the heart beats and that it is growing normally. So everything is going fine at this moment.
I have also been seeing a Chinese doctor for advice. One of her advice is whenever there is discomfort on my lower ab or spotting or bleeding, I should lay down and rest. Drink a lot of warm water; have 2 eggs per day, especially in the morning; eating more root vegetables like carrot, sweet potatoes as well as courgette.
Hope this is useful and all the best to you all!

I'm going through this currently. Scan booked tomorrow to find out why I'm bleeding. Petrified but this thread has given me a little hope. Hope all went well with your epu appointment mummabubs.

Sorry, forgot to update! Ultrasound picked up bubbabean straight away and with heart beat visible too, so I hope that gives you reassurance that it's not always game over. One week on and I've now got sore boobs and glorious nausea (at the time of having the scan I'd had pretty much no pregnancy signs at all, so it's funny how everything changes!) Best of luck for your scan xx

Congratulations, wonderful news! Thank you. No heartbeat detected but have another for 10 days time. Praying for a good outcome. All other signs were good so clinging on to that.
