Bleeding 5 weeks anyone had experience?

[UnspeakableBode]

Hi i wonder if anyone can helping? I'm around 5 weeks pregnant, found out last week. I've just gone to the loo and there was some pinky discharge/blood when I wiped. I put some loo roll down there as I needed to take my son to bed and when I went back to the loo there was red blood on the loo roll. There's only small amounts of red blood when I'm wiping but I'm worried its a miscarriage. Not sure if I just wait it out and see if it gets worse or if I call the early pregnancy unit? Didn't have any bleeding at all with my first so this is all new to me. Any help would be much appreciated!

@mommyof2girls27 sorry you're going through the same thing, fingers crossed for both of us. How are you doing?

@pippinpuppy Thanks for asking, I'm ok, not had anymore bleeding since Wednesday night so trying to keep positive and hoping when I take the test on Thursday all is well and they can get me in for a scan ASAP for a bit of reassurance!

Oh gosh - the wait is just horrendous. Every minute feels like an eternity when your waiting for reassurance. I have had a chemical pregnancy, a early miscarriage and now 2 babies. With my chemical I tested faint positive and started to spot. I tested again and was negative and had a really heavy period just a couple of days after I would have been due. I then had my little girl. After this I had a miscarriage at 6.5 weeks - I was spotting on and off for almost 2 weeks. Had a scan and bloods and confirmed miscarriage. This time with my little boy I spotted blood again around 5/6 weeks so again went for a scan expecting the same thing to have happened and baby was there - heartbeat and all. I was convinced it was another miscarriage because of the bleeding. So it's gone both ways for me. I really wish you all the best and hope time goes quickly for you. Such a nerve wracking time !

I had some light bleeding at 5 weeks and was told it’s too early for them to do anything so wait and see basically.
I’m now 37 weeks.

Try to rest, hope it all goes ok.

I'm currently 5+2 and have had some light red bleeding / spotting on and off for two days.
Before that a little pink spotting.
I am off the the EPU on Monday for bloods (and hopefully a scan !)
I think I might have SCH as the bleeding started when I was stood up at a gig for 3 hours and then DTD and started again when I went for a walk.

Fingers crossed for you all

@UnspeakableBode I ended up miscarrying 😭 my hcg levels dropped to 921

Hey everyone, thought I'd just post in here as I'm not really sure what to do.
5+3 today and started bleeding around 4pm, if I didn't know I was pregnant I'd of thought it was a period.
I rang EPU but they won't see me so I rang my GP who was lovely and she's booked me in for a scan next Monday.
Feeling sick with anxiety and think this is going to be the longest week of my life.
Hope you're all ok.

@mommyof2girls27 I'm so sorry to hear that, sending hugs!

@milliemd sorry your going through this, fingers crossed all is ok, from my extensive googling I have found there are a lot of reasons for bleeding in pregnancy and most are nothing to panic about. I've booked myself in for a private scan on Saturday as I don't know when the NHS will get me in, I'm going away on Wednesday and my husband can't come mid week (didn't want to get bad news alone) I should be 6+6 then so hoping they'll be able to see something. So pleased your GP has been helpful and booked you in for a scan. Fingers crossed for you!

@FreckledMouse how did you get on? Thinking of you.

@UnspeakableBode thank you lovely - hope all goes well for you🤞🏼

Still bleeding but it's getting lighter now.
They have managed to get me in for a scan on Friday now so I won't have to wait for the weekend.
I have done a test today and it's still positive quite strong but don't know if that means anything🤷🏻‍♀️
Guess we'll see on Friday🤞🏼

Hello,
I have just joined Mumsnet so a late response. I just wanted to say that I had a heavy bleed with second pregnancy at 6 weeks and an early scan showed it was likely twins with one surviving. I went on to bleed every day for the entire duration of the pregnancy. A couple of these were heavy and necessitated hospital visits for rest. I went on to have a lovely girl at 39 weeks and 5 days. The midwives thought that there was a week vessel on the placenta and this might have caused the bleeding. Anyway, I understand and remember the worry everytime I saw blood and not really being able to enjoy the pregnancy but things worked out in the end. Good luck!!

My bleeding got much heavier over the weekend &
I unfortunately have miscarried - was confirmed on Monday at EPU.
Still bleeding and in pain now but hopefully be over soon.

On to Cycle 10 ♥️

Sending luck, love and baby dust to everyone ✨

Hey @Borderlady2 thank you for replying & very reassuring to hear.
Although I'm very sorry you lost one of the twins I'm glad you went on to have a healthy baby

Hey @FreckledMouse so so sorry to hear.
Everything crossed for you for the future xxx

So I've just been for a private scan today and they have said 'pregnancy of unknown location' as they couldn't see anything.

There's 3 things it could be

1. too early to see anything - all dates me at 6 weeks today but I couldn't ovulated later on
2. miscarriage
3. eptopic

I have another scan on Monday at the hospital where I'm sure they'll take bloods etc - I am still testing strong positive on pregnancy test.

Just wish I had an answer!

*app dates me at 6 weeks but I could've ovulated later

@milliemd

Was it an internal scan?
At 6 and 7 weeks I had bleeding and the hospital wouldn’t scan me as they wouldn’t be able to see anything. My previous pregnancy at 8 weeks 3 days was internal scanned as external couldn’t see anything so fingers crossed your little bean just has some growing to do

@Chichimcgee yes it was internal.
Wow that's reassuring to hear🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Thank you for sharing

Hi All new hear, I am currently around 5w3d, first pregnancy. Last night I had faint pink on toilet paper and then since this morning I have had bleeding like a period every time I go to the toilet, with some clotting. I have read so much about this happening and people still going on to have successfull pregnancies. Just wanted some insight off you. I also haven't had any cramp atall today, although I had pms like cramping throughout the week, nothing too bad. Any thoughts appreciated. X

@morag202287 I had an early scan today after the bleeding and while they couldn't give me an explanation for the bleeding they were able to see the heartbeat and measured me at 6 +2. I thought I was 6+6 but she did say it can be wrong by 5 days either way at this stage. I would recommend getting an early scan if possible as it really reassured me. I think waiting until 12 weeks would have been unbearable! Have you tried calling the EPU?

@Morag202287 I’m so sorry but that sounds like an early miscarriage to me

@Morag202287 I'm sorry to say but I had a miscarriage last weekend and this sounds really similar to what happened to me.
I'd got to your EPU as soon as you can for bloods.

Thanks for your response, yes I am going to give them a call again tomorrow. I already called epu yesterday when it started and she said just to monitor. I know of people this has happened to and they have still carried on with healthy pregnancy so I suppose it's not every case that's a loss but obviously in my head I'm thinking I have. I'll call tomorrow incase they need to check aswell atleast then I'll know for definite xxx
