6 weeks pregnant heavy bleed, no preggo symptoms and clearblue weeks staying the same. 😢 Help 😢

[Loxleylamb]

I've been all over Google looking for just one person that could describe what I'm going through in the search for a bit of hope. 😢

Back story is I came off the pill end of April. Period came 3rd May. We had sex throughout May and we got a positive clearblue test on 3rd June (1-2 weeks indicator). Since then I've been pretty concerned about the lack of "symptoms" I've not been feeling. This is baby #3 and I always feel preggo right after I get a positive test. What I have also had with each pregnancy is a bleed around 5-6 weeks. And bang on time I've had the same this time. Except this time it's different. It lasted 3-4 days and was proper heavy bleeding with clots/tissue but no pain. Absolutely none.

I'm booked in for an early scan on Tues, but it's been a bit of a hellish weekend so far. Hubby and I been quite upset and I also got it in my head that all I could realistically do was do another Clearblue test. See if the weeks have progressed at all since the 3rd. So we did another test and sadly it's still reading 1-2 weeks. (12 days after having this same reading the first time) So I guess my question is, does this really confirm our fears...that I was pregnant and I have probably miscarried and that's why the HCG levels will have stayed the same? Never had a m/c before so feeling pretty vulnerable and weepy. Tuesday will give us some answers but I'm just looking for some glimmer of hope out there... thanks in advance 🙏

Sorry I can't offer advice on this but just wanted to say I'm sorry you're feeling like this and can't get the answers you want ☹️. I hope everything works out for you and good luck at your scan xx

Thank you so much for replying. I ended up doing another Clearblue this morning and it read Not Pregnant. It was hard seeing those words so harshly. But I feel it confirmed our fears. Tues scan will just put it all to rest. I don't really know what to feel now. Just a bit numb and not sure if we should try again. I'm 37 this year and worried that baby maybe had something wrong because of my age...who knows. Don't know whether to tempt fate again.

I am sorry you are going through this. Sending you big hugs.

With regard to your age, I had my 3 girls at 36 and 37 and they are perfect and I'm currently pregnant (At 40) on baby no. 3 so your age is not necessarily a contributory reason. If you and your DH want another DC then I wouldn't let that hold me back.

Sorry that should say 2 girls obviously.

Thank you @user1471549213 that's reassuring. I do want to try again... just need to let the dust settle and speak to hubby. Best of luck with baby #3 👌♥️

@Loxleylamb so sorry to hear that. It sounds like you may have had an early miscarriage or a chemical pregnancy. I had this experience last month so I know how it feels to get that Not Pregnant on a CB after positive tests. Hugs. Xxx

Thank you all so much. I'm so glad I posted now. What a supportive group you are xx

If it helps talk about it. I decided not to hide it from people, so when they asked if I was OK, I told them. Everyone was lovely and supportive

I read your initial message and jumped on to reply that I also had a very heavy bleed (lasted about 30mins, felt like an entire period!) at 6-7wks. I had huge clots and bright red bleeding, but no pain. Not a whiff of a cramp.

I presented at A&E that afternoon (a fri) and all they could do is check for signs of infection, vital signs etc. I was booked for a scan the following Monday but I was told to prepare for the inevitable.

In the Monday, I had a tv scan and before the probe was even halfway in, the sonographer detected a heartbeat. I’m now 20w and puffed up. I’m also 37, and we had tried for 2yrs for this pregnancy. No one can explain the reason for the monumental bleed, but one supposition is that I had a twin pregnancy and one didn’t make it. Or that I had a cervical haematoma....who knows?! I can feel baby moving right now, so the explanation now feels irrelevant.

I didn’t take any pregnancy tests during the events of that week. I’ve never trusted those CB digital ones which tell you how pregnant you are.

And if this time isn’t yours, be reassured that you were able to fall pregnant in your first month without the pill! For those in our age bracket, falling pregnant is often the bigger challenge.

Thanks @Sessy19 that's kind of you to take the time to reply. Could you tell me at the time you had your bleed...did you have any pregnancy symptoms? I just feel it's game over for me cos I do not feel pregnant whatsoever plus the bleeding did last 3-4 days. Grateful not to have had any pains but again the lack of has made me hope that maybe it wasn't m/c.

@Whyhaveidonethis thanks also for your advice. I only have a few people to fill in but I will be straight with them. Hadn't told many as it was so early xx

I don’t think I was having any symptoms at the time. Early on, before I tested, I had heartburn but it went quite quickly.
I had the bleed at around 7w, one big bleed. But about a day or two after the TV scan, I had spotting for about 3wks. It was awful. And so terribly worrying. Although just a few days after they confirmed the heartbeat, the sickness started. And it was pretty intense! I was generally feeling sick from 4am til 11pm for about 8w til about 16w.

@Sessy19 that's actually crazy isn't it? Well very bizarrely this afternoon I felt more pregnant than i have this whole time. Sicky, tingly boobs...was just weird...(especially after that CB test saying Not Pregnant this morning) but because I told my hubby how I was feeling he told me to buy another test! 🤦 So i came back from the shops with a First Response test and did that tonight. This time it's a faint positive, but definitely there. Oh god, Tuesday can't come quick enough 😭😭😭 so confused. Xx

Good luck for your scan today xx

@Sessy19 Thank you so much that's very kind. X

I had a chemical pregnancy in Feb it's horrible getting the Pregnant 1-2 weeks then I got Not Pregnant 4 days later I was 4+5 but two months later I got pregnant I'm now 10+3 -In a weird kinda way I knew I was working ok and it made me more motivated to try again coz I knew it could happen! Plenty of people have healthy pregnancies at you age most of my NCT group were 35 for their first babies and 37 at least for their second and they've all been fine,it's really only a choice you can make tho!!

Hi everyone, I just felt I should come on and share that the news at hospital wasn't good this morning. They listened to my story and said yes it did indeed sound like a loss. Took a urine sample which of course was negative and took bloods. Staff were very reassuring and gave us lots of support and leaflets. I called just now for the blood results and my HCG levels are sitting at 6 and the midwife explained 5 is normal...so they are going down and reducing. Advice is to wait a few cycles before trying again but Hubby and I are very numb right now anyway. I really appreciate every single response and am so grateful for all your kind words xx

@Loxleylamb sorry for your loss

😞💐

Sorry for your loss xx

Thanks guys 😔😢

I had exactly the same thing in March bless you, it really is so difficult!! I waiting until my next period in April is was right on time and we started trying again I'm now 8 weeks pregnant and we conceived on my next cycle❤️
Sending love, try keep positive xxx
