Miscarriage ??? - total limbo

[MrsCbabypls]

hi everyone

I wonder if there’s anybody out there who can help, pls.

Going by LMP I am around 6 weeks pregnant. On Monday this week I started bleeding (when wiping). I have had pink, red and brown blood. Not heavy enough for a pad. I then lost what looked like dark pregnancy tissue/clot. I assumed I had miscarried (although no cramps) and my test lines had got lighter.

I tested again this morning as I am keen to get a bit of closure on this and it’s a much stronger positive line. I understand that it can take up to 3 weeks for hcg to leave my body but I didn’t think the line would get darker.

Does anybody have any experience with this or any advice please?

thanks so much

Hi there

i know exactly what you’re going through, as I miscarried last week at 6-7 weeks. When I miscarried the blood was bright red and dripping into the toilet like a heavy period, with lots of painful cramps, and the bleeding is still going on now but is brown. I began bleeding on Thursday night and by Sunday afternoon I tested negative after a private scan. Have you phoned the early pregnancy unit at your local hospital for advice? Mine were great but couldn’t fit me in for a scan for two weeks which is why we went private, as you say, I was in limbo and couldn’t take it any more!

Sending all my love to you, so sorry this is happening, I know exactly how you feel and it’s awful ❤️

This is a link to my thread from last week, lots of hopeful stories on there - unfortunately miscarriage was the case for me, but it doesn’t sound like you are bleeding as heavily as I was and there’s a few things it may be.

Thank you so much for replying and I am
so sorry for your loss. There really isn’t a pain like it. I hope you’re able to grieve and find comfort in whatever you need to. No time frame on this.

I have called the EPU and am awaiting a call back. Just so strange that the test has now got so much darker xx

There absolutely isn’t, take care of yourself ❤️ And be kind to yourself (I need to take my own advice, haha!) Until you’re told otherwise you are still pregnant - hopefully they can fit you in for a scan soon and your mind can be put at rest. Are you currently still bleeding? Let work know and take time off if you need it for a pregnancy related illness. Crossing my fingers for you that it’s not a miscarriage 🤞🏻 💕

@AFireAtASeaParks thank you. I am just so confused. No longer bleeding as of today. The EPU said they’ll get back to me within 24 hours so we will see what they suggest! I had a miscarriage before in 2019 and was in A LOT of pain. This time I haven’t experienced any. I also bled for weeks after….

Us poor women really do go through it. Sending you lots of strength and love xx

I am really sorry to hear what you are going through @MrsCbabypls . Unfortunately I don't have any good advice but I'm going through the same thing at the moment so can give you a hand hold.
I got a positive test last week then had light brown/pink bleeding over the last week but now the tests are getting darker and I did a CB weeks test last night that had increased to 2-3 weeks?
I'm concerned about an ectopic pregnancy but the EPU just discounted it and said just to test again in 10 days.
It's so horrible feeling in limbo.

I hope you hear back from the EPU soon OP! At 6 weeks they should be able to get you in for a scan to see what's going on, but it sounds promising if you didnt have any cramps and the bleeding has stopped.

I had a heavy bleed at 8ish weeks accompanied by clots, it sounds a lot heavier than you're describing - definately needed a pad! But it tailed off after about 24 hours and I went to the EPU and baby was in there just fine. I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow so try to hold tight until you can get a scan.

Thanks ladies. I had a scan this morning at the EPU and bloods taken too. I’ve had a complete miscarriage which I am relieved to not be in limbo anymore. And my HCG levels were less than 4. Although it is incredibly sad, I am pleased to have answers. Sending lots of love to you all. Being a woman is so difficult. I spent my entire late teens/early twenties avoiding pregnancy like the plague and now I’m the polar opposite xxx

So sorry to hear that was three car OP 😔 it's so hard isn't it. Totally feel what you mean, I also lived in fear of pregnancy when I was younger and then when I actually wanted a baby the road was anything but easy. Sending you lots of baby dust for the future x

I followed this thread and I was hoping that you just had some random bleeding. I’m so sorry to hear this OP. I had my second miscarriage in July, and while it was slightly easier than the first time, it was still so hard.

Take care of yourself. Xxxx

Oh I’m so sorry to hear this @MrsCbabypls
I was really hopeful it was normal bleeding - take time for yourself and look after yourself, I’m sending so much love to you, I know how hard this is and I’m so sorry you are going through this ❤️
