Miscarriage?

[Kittens1237]

Hi all, first time poster here.

I am currently 5 weeks 3 days pregnant. I have been having spotting for a week now, it started off as light brown and progressed to darker, stringier brown clots. Then yesterday evening it was pink then progressed to bright red with a jelly-like clot. Now it is back to dark brown (almost black bits of blood). It has pretty much always been when I have wiped, barely enough to stain a pad.

In addition to this my earlier symptoms (nausea, extreme tiredness, sore boobs) have pretty much all disappeared today. Pregnancy test this morning still super strong (dye stealer).

I called EPU this morning and they have advised to wait, if it gets heavier it is likely a miscarriage and I should test again in 3 weeks, if it goes back to brown and settles I should call again in a few days.

This is my first pregnancy and I am so scared and feel in complete limbo. It’s taken us 7 months to get here which I know is nothing compared to what some people go through, but has felt like ages and I just can’t face starting from square one again, and am terrified that if I lose this pregnancy I will go on to lose another. Not really sure what I’m hoping for by posting this as I’m trying to come to terms with losing it but I just feel so devastated. Any similar experiences and how people got through this would be appreciated.

Thank you for reading xx

Just to add that I also had period-like cramping until yesterday… seems to have settled now.

How are you feeling today?

Hi @TTCJJB, thank you so much for replying. Physically much the same - still on and off bleeding but only when I wipe. Mentally a bit stronger but not the best, I just want to know what’s going on 😔

Such an anxious time for you. Have you contacted the EPU again? @Kittens1237

@TTCJJB thanks for messaging again, I went to EPU on Saturday and they gave me a scan. They measured me at 5 weeks (I’d thought I was closer to 6) and could see the pregnancy sac and the very start of a yolk, but also a bleed. They said it was too early to be able to tell anything so I’m booked back late next week. Fingers crossed 🤞
feeling so anxious about it all and trying to distract myself! My symptoms have kicked back in but I’m trying not to read into that too much and am still spotting, just hoping it doesn’t turn into a full bleed and that all goes well xxx

@KiKittens1237 I'm sending you all the love and luck in the world. I hope your next scan goes well. Try your very best to distract yourself even though it's always there in your head.

You're doing all you can at this stage. I hope things work out for you.

@Amuseaboosh thank you so much, it really means a lot that people are so lovely on here xxx

Just a quick update, my scan unfortunately showed that there was not enough progress for the pregnancy to be viable so am now waiting for it to pass. Feeling pretty numb and just want it to be over. Thank you for your comments and support, it did help

I'm so sorry, darling. There really aren't any words. Take it a day at a time.

Sending hugs 💐
