Am I miscarrying again?

[Happymum73058]

Hi everyone!

So today I am 7 weeks and 6 days pregnant. Last night, my partner and I had sex for the first time since we found out about the pregnancy. All was fine and I went to sleep straight after.

This morning I woke up around 8am and went to the toilet, wiped and there was bright red blood and drips of blood in the toilet. I panicked straight away because I had a chemical pregnancy in September. I put a pad on and rang the out of hours doctors - waited an hour for the call back and just before they rang back I went to check my pad and there was no blood there and no blood when I wiped either. I told them about this when they rang and they said because I am in no pain and am no longer bleeding there is not much they can do for me. They advised to wait and see if my symptoms become any worse and it they do I'm to go to A&E.

A few hours have passed I have just been back to the toilet and there is not blood but brown goo like stuff when I wiped. Is this a good sign or bad sign?

I am getting cramps but not painful or uncomfortable, they're mild and I've been getting cramps since finding out I was pregnant.

Please find attached pics of the 1) pad this morning after an hour 2) the brown like goo after wiping

Hey
It's really difficult not to panic, but just try and remind yourself that it won't change the outcome unfortunately. I'm in the same position as you, had an mmc a little while ago and just found out I'm 9+2 now. A couple of weeks ago I had a little brown blood and was told the same thing, not very helpful though is it? I saw my midwife the other day and she's booked me in for an early scan on Monday. Do you know when you'll see your midwife? Definitely mention it to her, she may be able to get you in for an early scan especially after your past experience. Bleeding can be normal but as soon as you see it, it scares you doesn't it! DH and I haven't had sex since we found out because I'm too scared 😂 I too have had mild cramps and backache and midwife said absolutely normal but I'm still very nervous! Xxxx

I'm the same at the moment, some bleeding after sex but comes and goes not overly heavy. I've a scan booked for Thursday. Nothing I can really do till then apart from wait and see.

Same thing happened to me, I'm only about 6 weeks and have been fine (although had a small amount of spotting when I first found out) and then had sex a couple of days ago and had pink spotting and then brown spots randomly spaced out throughout the day which is so scary because no matter what you read it either says it's completely normal or could be a miscarriage so obviously I'm thinking the worst but just trying not to think too deep into it as there's nothing I can do, I've got a scan in two weeks so hopefully I'll see how everything is doing.

How are you OP? I recall being told by the nurse that sex wasn't an option in some pregnancies 😱
We didn't DTD anyway as husband thought it was too weird ... if you're ok then perhaps chose something less 'invasive' 🥴

Can you take yourself to EPU?
Our EPU is self referral for bleeding, as long as you present early enough in the morning you should get a scan that day.

I had a small bleed just like that in my first pregnancy at about 8 weeks or so, maybe 9. All was fine. Coincidentally I had a scan booked that day anyway and the guy said he could see the bleed, it was just a rough bit on the cervix or something, well away from the baby and nothing to worry about. So it can be fine.

@Kej13 hi kej - sorry for late reply. I was so worried when I saw the blood on the tissue especially after my miscarriage last time. I rang midwives on Monday as there was no other bleeding over the weekend and they said it was due to having sex a few hours before the bleed. My first scan is on 20th March so a long wait 😫 x

Hi all - spoke to midwife on Monday and she reckons the bleed was down to having sex. Had nothing since and been fine, except my morning sickness has really come on this week I've been pretty much bed bound feeling rubbish and not being able to hold food down 😭 . My first scan is on March 20th (soooo long!!!!) and my booking appt with the midwife is next week on the 21st. Going to discuss with her the bleed thoroughly then. Hope you all are well 😁

@Happymum73058 pretty much the exact same thing has happened to me yesterday Me and my partner had sex, I had light pink spotting and then some bright red with a small clot, put a pad on and bleeding stopped pretty much straight away. I was checked at my hospital where they said everything looks okay, did my bloods and got my HCG level, which is quite high. Booked in for a scan on Tuesday. I'll keep my fingers crossed everything is okay for you x

@Happymum73058 can you ask your GP to refer you for an early scan? I did and I asked on the Friday and I had a scan on Monday morning which showed a lovely little heartbeat 💕 they noticed a little bleed but said it would have been implantation so nothing to worry about. I'm only 8+3 so bit less than we thought but the scan was so worth it. We've got another 5 weeks until the next one but I think we're gonna pay for one before then. Good luck with everything xxxx

As another poster said - does your hospital have an Early Pregnancy Unit? You can self refer to mine and get seen same day.
