Hi ladies,

I am now 7 weeks and the last 2 weeks I been having spotting every single day ranging from dark brown to bright red with and without clots. This happens only when I wipe and every time I go to the toilet.

Two weeks ago I called the midwife line and got referred to the Early Pregnancy Unit where they did a scan and told me that everything was okay and all they could see was a little sac. They told me not to worry as a lot of ladies go through bleeding at this stage too.

They booked me another appointment for this coming Tuesday which I been looking forward so much! But on Friday I started to have some cramps... they were quite light but I decided to call the helpline again just to see what they say, especially because the constant bleeding makes me feel anxious and worried. They told me to only get it checked if the pain got severe which it did throughout the night...

So I had this really intense pain, really low on my abdominal and right in the middle - quite sharp too. I went to A&E and they we're excellent the doctor was also pregnant too and very sweet and sympathetic with my situation but they only checked me down there with spatula I believe, took bloods and urine samples and told me that at this stage is very hard to see wether I am having a mc or not... She told me that I should prepare myself for the worst because of the latest symptoms but to wait for my appointment on Tuesday to find out more considering my bleeding is not heavy.

I came home really sad and a bit confused as I didn't had any idea of what was the outcome of the bloods or urine sample... I blame myself a bit as I should have asked for a more accurate answer but to be fair I was so sad and worried about a possible mc that I just decided to come home... I was so tired that I slept for a few hours and when I woke-up I was feeling the cramps again so decided to have a bath which made me feel better. No heavy bleeding at all, only when I wipe and again it's quite light red and with clots.

I decided that I am going to buy another test today as it's so hard to relax and wait for this Tuesday to find out more...

Sorry for the long post but I need some help. Today the cramps have been on and off, sometimes a bit stronger but they are quite light in general. Anyone here who had experienced anything like this? I know there is nothing I can do but I wanted this baby so much that breaks my heart to think of a possible mc.

Thank you! X

A pregnancy test will probably still show pregnant even if this is an mc as it detects low levels and has no quantification, repeated blood tests at hospital may be able to see if hcg is decreasing but a one off test probably won't be able to show either way at this stage. It must be so hard for you but there really is nothing you can do except wait for Tuesday and try to stay calm Flowers

If you really can't wait until Tuesday you could see if you can pay for a private scan this afternoon or tomorrow. Some Mothercares do scanning. Good luck Flowers
