I went for a scan yesterday, assuming Id be having my abortion on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

My lmp dates suggest im just over 7 weeks.

My scan showed I was around 5. They said I need to go back in two weeks time to redo the scan as they need to see a embryo and all they saw was a pregnancy sac (normal for 5 weeks).
I am so upset. Will I be over 9 weeks when I go back? Nurse said no- I will be around 7 weeks.
What date did your scan go by?
I'm really struggling, have no one to talk to and I'm so confused . Please someone help im begging you.

Gosh that is a long time to wait Sad must have been awful for you. the nurses have told me that as soon as the scan is right, they can go ahead with the procedure.

I'm terrified but can't wait for this all to be over now.
It's such an unnatural situation isn't it.

Feeling very anxious again today. Had some brown tinge to discharge when I wiped . Very very slight and don't know if I'm imagining it. Anyone around to talk?

It's a sunny day people are probably busy, brown discharge is how my miscarriage started (many moons ago) ... has it settled down yet?

tryingtobestronger · 13/08/2016 16:36

Yeah I think it has. It was very very pale too. Maybe I imagined it. Feeling but crampy and sensitive too. BlushConfused

It might be miscarriage but it can also just be normal.

How you feeling?
I've actually lost the plot where I feel like I can feel kicking but I definitely can't there's no way I'm that far along!

tryingtobestronger · 13/08/2016 17:25

I'm feeling ..... Strange. I'm still scared they wont be able to do the abprtion for some reason..... I desperately want this to be over now.

I felt like that before I had my scan. Even though I had periods I kept thinking 'what if I'm 4 months'. I wasn't!

I'm a lot more calm then what I was a few days ago. But still worried and now and again thinking the worst.

How are you feeling?

They will be able to do an abortion don't worry and if they can't it's because you're pregnancy wasn't viable so either way you won't have a baby!

I'm scared I'm trying to focus on my exams but can't! I feel it would be easier to have someone IRL to talk to but that's not an option. When did you say your next scan is sorry? Lots of pages to get through

MrBoot · 13/08/2016 17:52

My miscarriage started with a faint brown discharge that got heavier and more like a heavy period within about twelve hours. But a small brown discharge can be normal too (just a little bit of old blood).

tryingtobestronger · 13/08/2016 18:00

Same it's so frightening. When are your exams? My next scan is a week on Monday Confused weirdly this week hasn't dragged as much as I thought. When is your scan?

Mr boot- it seemed to have stopped now. Feeling sensitive around the bottom of my tummy.

I have one Tuesday then Monday and Friday the following week :( my scan is Saturday, it feels like forever away. Have you been told how fast you can have the abortion once your scan shows what they need to see?

tryingtobestronger · 13/08/2016 18:15

Yeah. I have the scan a week Monday. If everything is seen there I have the next app on the wednesday. Than back on the thurs or friday (whenever they have a hospital bed for me).
Seems bizarre even talking about it. Like it's not happening to me.
Feels like it'll never be over doesn't it

Pale browny discharge is back. Was there when I wiped this morning.

If I am mis carrying, what happens next?

OP posts:
Advicepls7080 · 14/08/2016 09:11

The scan will let you know if you have fully miscarried and hormone levels, if you haven't they might perform d&c.

tryingtobestronger · 14/08/2016 09:16

What's a d and c Sad

Trying Flowers

It sounds like you were measuring behind dates and your pregnancy wasn't viable, you may be having a miscarriage.

Just try to keep calm. All this stress is not good for you. You are scaring yourself to death with dr Google. Stop going on google and trying to get answers. What will be, will be X

tryingtobestronger · 14/08/2016 09:34

I'm so scared. Will this fix itself. The discharge is back to white now. I have a dull feeling in my back. I can't stop crying I feel so alone. I deserve this

OP posts:
tryingtobestronger · 14/08/2016 09:37

My boobs are still sore

I also think you need to see a GP about your mental health Flowers

tryingtobestronger · 14/08/2016 09:43

Is it not normal to be scared like this when you have no one to talk to Sad am I really crazy Sad

Tryingtobesober how old are you? You sound young. Don't be down, you will get through this. It seems tough at the moment but there will be light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to try and be strong and get past this part. As for thanking people for being nice to you, why wouldn't we be nice to you? This is no place for trolling etc. You need a pick me up, not a shoot you down. We're here to help. This is your choice and everyone has a right to freedom of choice. I recently had a miscarriage (I wanted the baby) and I got a brown discharge. But that doesn't mean that's what your symptom is, as everyone is different. I miscarried at 8 weeks 3 days. To answer your question about D&C, I was booked in for it when I had a missed miscarriage (dead foetus but I hadn't miscarried it (passed it out) yet). It's pretty much the same thing as an abortion, but they are doing the op on a dead foetus.(Getting it all out). You really need support from your husband at a time like this. Does he not agree to the abortion?
