Please help me :(

[Nuttypea]

I just need some reassurance or brutal honesty...

I am 6weeks +3, today I had some pinching sensations in my left abdomen and when I went to the loo, I have had a pinky/peachy tinged discharge. (Not bright red blood yet) I work in a hospital so went to A&E. They ruled out an ectopic with an ultrasound, but could not do a transvaginal (internal) scan as they did not have a trained doctor on. I have been referred to have it done on Tuesday morning as they will be able to see clearer and hopefully find that little heartbeat.

The doctor saw a sac but as I am so early and it was an external scan, what he could see was super limited. My urine sample also came back containing blood but there was no mention of an infection 🤷‍♀️

Has anyone else had any similar symptoms and have gone on to have a successful pregnancy? I've been in tears ever since and begging my little baby not to leave me. 😢😢😢

I had pink/brown discharge after going to the loo from 4-11 weeks (also had awful period cramps). I called my local EPU one time as the discharge looked dark pink so I panicked, I was asked if it was enough that I needed a pad which it wasn't so she told me unless it's enough blood to soak a pad and is red then not to worry. I'm 16+4 now and everything is fine!

Thank you so much, I'll try to take that on board! Congratulations on your pregnancy, and thank you for replying! I just want Tuesday to hurry up so I will know either way x

Try not to panic, easier said than done I know! I’m almost 26 weeks and have had spotting on and off throughout my pregnancy! The first time was at approx 6 weeks and I was told that it was likely implantation. Fingers crossed everything works out for you x

Yes, I had this with my first, around the same time actually, it ended up being what's referred to as 'vanishing twin syndrome'- a hemoraghic second sac, and I went on to have a health DS. Really hoping all is well for Tuesday x

@Nuttypea i am also 6+3 today and I've experienced spotting a few times in the last two weeks. Some red, some brown and sometimes just pink. I had miscarriage in November so I'm really anxious but EPU aren't too concerned as it has always stopped after an hour or two or it's just been one wipe and no more. Doesn't stop me fretting like mad but am trying to take each day as it comes. I've still got mega fatigue and sore boobs along with cramping which all make me feel very pregnant!! I am going for a private scan on 19th Feb so taking each day a step at a time til then! Just wanted you to know I'm right here with you in this. From what I gather we are both experiencing something totally normal 😊

I've been bleeding/spotting for 6weeks and baby is fine, some people just do.

Thank you all for your replies! @newmum2020 congratulations to you too! I'm also holding on to the fact that my pregnancy symtpoms are still there. And the fact it is only on wiping sounds like it's not such a bad thing.... I just hope it doesn't get worse overnight. Fingers crossed this is just another normal thing! Will this be your first? Nice to know someone else is going through all the same anxious notions, makes me feel less mad! x

@Nuttypea yes my first and I'll be 40 next month so that just adds to my crazy anxiousness!! It's worse because we are keeping it secret just now so I find it really helpful to be able to talk to people on here! I'm just avoiding all social situations so people don't ask why I'm still not drinking...dry January was my excuse til now! Tuesday will be here before you know it😊I don't think I'll settle til I see the scan on 19th then I have first midwife appt on 21st x

@Nuttypea I still haven't had my midwife appointment come through yet, I have my 12 week scan date but that's all. I hope it doesn't drag for you and the 19th is soon here! We're also keeping it a secret, so please don't go to far, and please message me whenever and about whatever! It is nice to be able to go through all this craziness with someone that understands. My DP is amazing, but it must be driving him mad 😂 I'm checking my Knickers every 15 bloody minutes. WHAT A LOON!

I had red bleeding at 8 weeks for 2 days so was referred to EPU with "threatened abortion". The resulting 2.5 year old who still ensures I get no sleep whatsoever was absolutely fine, staff said it was just one of those unexplained things and although it's not normal to bleed it's also not uncommon. Fingers crossed for you OP x

@Nuttypea I know the feeling. My work colleagues must think I have issues as I'm at the loo every 30 mins 🤣🤣or I'm having a secret feel of my boobs to reassure myself they still hurt 😆it's like you're in a little bubble so I'm pleased to have found a thread where someone relates!!

Today we have lunch with family and they'll be wondering why no wine for me (I love a wine 🍷) so I'll need to have a plan ready lol x

Not looking good 😢 The cramps are more period like now and am passing small clots, spotting has now turned to red when wiping... I have a scan tomorrow morning and have prepared myself for the worst. Feel heartbroken! I don't even know why I'm on here writing this, but I guess it easier to express it tos tea gers online. My partner is amazing, but just doesn't understand the love and protection you feel almost as soon as you get a bfp.

*to strangers online

I had bright red blood and clots at 11-15 weeks. She is 16 years old now!

@Nuttypea how did you get on today? Been thinking about you x

Thanks @newmum2020. Unfortunately I misscarried, I think in my heart I knew on Friday, but late last night I saw and felt everything. Then at the scan today the sonogropher just confirmed it.

It's really sad, and I feel heartbroken. I'm trying to understand that some things just aren't meant to be and thay everything happens for a reason, as cruel as it is.
I guess a blessing in a deep disguise is that I've spent the last year thinking I would never even see a bfp, I finally got one and although it didn't stick, it's given us hope that we will have our own family one day.

Wishing you lots of love and health during your pregnancy! ❤️

Awww @Nuttypea I'm so so sorry. It's the worst thing to go through and my only advice is just be kind to yourself just now and let yourself grieve. I was the same last year thinking it happened for a reason, perhaps it took a difficult decision away from me if it was due to chromosome defects etc.

I fell pregnant first attempt after MC so you are right to stay positive about the future and another pregnancy as soon as you feel ready.

Lots of love to you xx

@newmum2020 Just wanted to say a huge thank you, you're comment about perhaps having a difficult decision taken away from you, really helped me last night. I managed to find some comfort in that.

Can I ask, and I'm sorry if this is too personal. Did you sit for a 'nomall' to return before ttc or just straight after your MC and got your bfp then? Dr told us to wait 2 weeks before having sex again, but tbh right now I don't think I'll ever feel up to it.

And thanks again, hopefully we will be on the journey together again soon. I'm really grateful I've met you on here!

All the best 💕

You can see I got no sleep, have of that makes no sense with lots of typos and terrible auto corrects. I hope it makes sense and I didn't realise it was only 8am, apologies! 🙈

Hello @Nuttypea how are you doing today?

I'm so glad that I was able to be of some help last night. It's never easy to know what to say but I think it makes a difference having been through it.

To answer your question, I waited for a period first before TTC again. I miscarried in 18th November and first period arrived Xmas eve. I think I ovulated 7th jan and found out pregnant on 23rd!

I've still had some small amounts of blood in discharge (ranging from pink to red to brown and not fresh blood like I had two weeks ago if that makes sense!) have been trying to stay positive but it's so hard. I think I'll call EPU this afternoon for some advice. Private scan is a week today and feels like such a long time away with yet more worry hanging over me.

How are you feeling physically? I hope you're bearing up ok and have lots of support around you xx
