| Please Help! Pain, Bleeding, Dates not matching! :-S
Hi all, its my first time here so I hope im posting right.
Me and my fiancee had been trying to get pregnant for 3 months before it happened, and on the day my period was due i took a pregnancy test (a clear blue) and it came up positive 1-2 weeks :-D
My last period was on the 16/11/11
On the 26/12/11 I started bleeding, no pain but every time I wiped there was blood that was red.
I went to the Early Pregnancy Unit who took bloods and told me to come back in 48 hours for another sample so they can compare HCG levels.
After this my levels had nearly doubled and they were happy (first was about 400 and the other 800)
On 31/12/2011 i started to bleed again more brownie then pinky and went to the Early Pregnancy Unit again and they took my bloods and I saw one of the consultants who had a look inside my cervix. The Dr could see blood but not where it was coming from, and told me I have a threatened miscarriage.
When i got my HCG levels back they had only risen to 1100 (only 300 more in nearly 72 hours) They said that they could not rule out a ectopic pregnancy and booked me a scan on the 2/1/2012.
I went home and was told if the bleeding gets worse or there was pain to come straight back.
on the 1/1/2012 in the evening i got really bad cramps and bleeding and passed a little clot so decided to go back to the Early Pregnancy Unit, where i was seen by another consultant who said that I was going to miscarry and that i could either wait and see and let it occur naturally or have a operation to extract. I decided to wait and see and go back to my scan the next day.
I went to the scan about a hour early as I just wanted to get to the hospital as i began to get really really bad cramps in the morning. On the scan they couldn't see anything so had to do an internal. The ultra sound person could see a small sac but no yolk or fetal poles but said it was in the right place and calculated that i was 5 weeks pregnant (although i calculated nearly 7???) They then again mentioned that i could be ectopic and that i would more then likely misscarry. As they couldnt see anything they then made me an appointment for the 10/01/2012. They took more blood, and did another HCG check......This time they had risen 1200 in 48 hours so doubled.
Since that day (2/01/2012) i havent had any bleeding at all.
After being to this scan today they couldnt see anything through my tummy so i had to have another internal. They saw a sac and a yolk and also a little fetus with a heartbeat :-D :-D it measured 2mm and said that it was a 6 week pregnancy.
When i got home about a hour after i began to get bad stomach cramps and took some paracetamol and applied a heat pack. I didnt think to much as ive had little cramps, and back ache for the last 4 weeks its the bleeding that bothered me.
About 10 hours after the scan ive bled, it was in my pants and when i wiped. When i wiped it was red in colour, so im terrified.
Theres no clots, but this along with the cramps scares me now, especially after seeing my little beans heartbeat.
Has anyone ever had anything like this, or can give advice????
Ive miscarried twice before, (once i didnt even know i was pregnant) and also had a Termination previous, and i cant help but think that these could have a negative effect on me.
Please Help.
