Heavy bleeding at 6 weeks .

[Orchid90]

Hi,
I’m 6+2 today.
i had been spotting since I found out, so about 10 days ago they booked me for an early scan which was this morning.
it turned out to be well timed, as soon as I got out of the car I felt a gush and knew it was blood . Went to the toilet at the EPU, passed a big clot half the size of my palm , thankfully I had put a pad on just in case .
i went for the scan very much expecting to be told it was a miscarriage instead there was a tiny tiny heart flicker. Possibly a sub chorionic bleed , but they also said my gestational sac is very large . I’m sure about the dates at they much the embrio size but they could not explain why the gestational sac is soo big . To add to it I have been having extreme morning sickness, had hyperemesis with my daughter , and of course today it is much less. They started me on progesterone and xonvea which is an anti sickness but I doubt it would have miraculously worked straight away . I just feel like the bleed , less nausea , big sac ..not getting a good feeling .

i have a scan booked in two week which feels like 2 years at present . Still bleeding a bit but it slowed down .
I feel like I’m just waiting for this miscarriage to start .In the meantime my partner is extremely upset and it was crying during the scan as he was expecting the worse. It breaks my heart as he is soo hopeful. The wait is absolute torture.

Sending love and hugs and hope everything is ok. Could it have been twins? If the sac is large there may have been two babies and you’ve lost one

I am really sorry you are both going through this, I had bleeds many times in both my pregnancies , it’s so frightening . Everything turned out fine in both . I wish the same for you. The wait is torture. I don’t have any advice really as I was a complete basket case but look after each other and talk . I wasn’t good at taking I was so scared but it would have helped my husband I think . ❤️

What did the scan date you? Did they the scan was measuring more than 6w2 or was it big in comparison to the embryo?

The scan was 6 week where it should be . I had a positive pregnancy test on day 22 of my cycle ( was an ovulation test actually that prompted me to do a pregnancy one ) so I know I can’t be much more than 6+2 . Just the gestational sac was big . She actually looked around to see if there were two but only saw 1 heart beat .

Well tbh she looked around but could only see one. See I initially wanted the scan to make sure it wasn’t ectopic as I have a close friend who had one with spotting and unfortunately she lost the tube , and the baby of course . I don’t like have early scan, but I guess with bleeding you owe to check that it is at least in the right place . I had losses before , my first died few months after he was born premature at 24 weeks . Had a missed miscarriage..tbh I had more losses than babies. Very very blessed to have had my daughter. It’s just the waiting , it’s always the worse part and although I have definitely improved at dealing with it sometimes I just crash I guess.
ill try to come back and update whatever happensx thanks for your message I really appreciate it
