Hi! Anyone out there with any advice!?
I had a miscarriage on 13 Nov 2020 (PUL which came away naturally, suspected ectopic) and a second miscarriage on 23 June 2021 (MMC and had medical management). It is also worth mentioning that I have a healthy near 4 year old boy, I bled at the beginning of my pregnancy with him and was told at my 12 week scan that there was no viable pregnancy only for him to be found on a sonogram once I was referred to Birmingham Womens EPU. I later gave birth to two placentas and was told it was likely I had lost a twin early in the pregnancy.
Following my most recent miscarriage I was asked by Tommy’s if I would be interested in your HYMMN trial which included having a scan 8 weeks post-miscarriage to check all the pregnancy had come away which I agreed to. I attended on 13 Aug 2021 where the team confirmed the pregnancy had all come away.
Before I attended the scan I had been placed on Metformin (due to a recent diagnosis of PCOS) which caused me to bleed thick, red and heavy blood for 2 ½ weeks continuously. I was concerned about the amount of blood I was losing so I stopped the medication and the bleeding completely stopped.
When I explained this to the team at Tommy’s I was advised not to take Metformin until I had had a natural period as they and I were both in agreement that although I had lost blood it did not feel like a period in any way.
I still haven’t had a period since my miscarriage and as a precaution have been taking pregnancy tests each week to just ensure I am not pregnant.
On 12th September my pregnancy test was positive. I took 4 more throughout the day and all were the same.
I took a Clear Blue digital dating test on 13th September which said I was 2-3 weeks pregnant and according to their instructions this put me at 4-5 weeks pregnant.
On the 19th September I took another Clear Blue digital dating test which put me at 3+ so according to their instructions I was around 5+ weeks.
I took a final one on 26th September which also read 3+ weeks so I am trying to guess I was around 6 weekish?
As I have not had a period I have absolutely no idea how far gone I am or even if this is a viable pregnancy in anyway. It will be 4 weeks on Sunday since I had the first positive test!
Naturally, after what has happened to me in the last 10 months I am extremely anxious and worried. I am emailing to find out if there is any kind of support or advice to put my mind at rest a little? I am unsure how accurate the dating is on a Clear Blue but I am also really frightened to have a scan too early?
Any advice would be gratefully received as I am really worrying!
