sowanted, Finallytrying
Both your updates sound promising, hope you get good news from the scan x

I now have cramps again and bleeding blood clots but not flowing like a period but the cramps are, I think I may go to the hospital tonight to see what the dr says

Oh no! I was hoping the cramps would stay away for both of us!

It's this unknown and variability that I find most difficult. For this reason, I did consider going to the doctor yesterday but as the midwife said a miscarriage can't be stopped and that scans aren't possible in A&E, we decided against it. (We'll go Tuesday when clinic re-opens after Easter holidays.)

Sending all good wishes your way...for when you're in your house (wishing you patience and calm in the face of worry and wonder), for when you speak to your doctor (wishing you the gift of clear communication), and when you're on the way back home (wishing you strength to face whatever is ahead...because whatever that is, I think we'll need it!).

Keep us updated. We'll be here for you. Thinking of you and hoping for the best.

Update as of 6:30am Easter Monday:
Woke up at 5am to a feeling of blood flow. Not a lot but it's red. Sigh.

Please could someone ask the operator to stop the ride? I want off this rollercoaster. I want to now sit on a bench, feet firmly planted on the ground, and enjoy a Sno-Cone.

I am so sorry! If I could hit the emergency stop button I would!!! And join you on the bench for a sno-cone and pretzel!

I had a lot of red blood and cramps yesterday they died down again last night andvwe are waiting for the dr's office to call so we can go get an ultra sound. I have a feeling the news won't be good

Oh dear, Finallytrying...the saga continues for both of us! Any news from the doctor? Have you managed to go in? Thinking of you and your husband...

Update as of 8pm Easter Monday:
I've not had much flow/discharge at all today...only two instances of very constant drips when sat on the toilet...but what is coming out is bright red. Seems to happen only when I'm vertical. Period cramps haven't returned at all today but I surely don't feel 'right'. Quite a bit of rumbly (and at times uncomfortable) gas and my abdomen is still very tender indeed.

Knowing I'll be headed into the hospital tomorrow morning, and preparing myself to be floored by bad news and perhaps huddled for days, I found the strength to take a shower about an hour ago. What with being horizontal since Thursday and sweating so much Saturday during hormonal waves and cramps, my hair appeared to have darkened about three shades on the colour chart! (Eww.) I can now say I have the skill of washing my hair, standing up but hunched over! What an ordeal but I feel (and no doubt smell!) like a new woman.

More time on the sofa is ahead for this evening. Hubs has looked up the clinic. Opens at 8am. We'll ring first thing and see if we can get a morning appointment. So many emotions have been experienced but above all, we're just feeling very confused. If it IS a miscarriage, why isn't it just happening? Why has the pain and 'progress' stopped? But if it isn't/wasn't a miscarriage, then what was all that about these past four days? Am feeling very cautious and am somewhat expecting bad news but, of course, I do hold some hope alive, too. Just feeling eager to KNOW, either way, I guess. Big day tomorrow.

Were leaving here in about 15 minutes our appointment is at 1 and my husband asked if we could talk before we go and he asked if we are going in thinking positive or not and I said no but wanted to start crying. I would rather go in prepared for sadness and have the possibility of the baby being okay than think good and be so sad all over again. As long as I am horizontal my cramps stay away I still also have the period type b
Ending when I use the bathroom but no clots today thankfully. I just want to know what is going on and if I am miscarrying I don't know what to do whether it should be natural or medical and which way you can try conceiving faster after. I would never and will never forget this but my husband keeps telling me that if we did miscarry the baby is probably better because for some reason their health wasn't where it needed to be and we don't want our baby to suffer we want them to be healthy and hapy whether they are angels or beings

Hubs and I have had this conversation today, as well (in advance for tomorrow).

We will go in ready for anything...hopeful but cautious. It's tough to be entirely hopeful after seeing blood and feeling so much pain.

Good luck. Be gentle with yourselves and with your emotions. You've done all you could. Our bodies do know best. I think your husband is right.

We're here if you need us...continuing to pull for you, and for the best outcome possible, whatever that might be. So, so tough. Sending you strength from England.

I just want to let you guys know I did lose the baby and am taking pills tonight to get rid of the extra blood and tissue. I never thought I would have to go through this and it seems like everything my husband says is just irritating and not helping although he wants to try again right away like me he doesn't know the pain I am feeling and will feel when my body has this little thing... I just want it to be over already
