2nd pregnancy after miscarriage, and bleeding/spotting again...

[Kath22]

Hi everyone,

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post - I haven't used this site in nearly a year!!

I'm 26, been TTC for almost 2 years, had extreme irregular periods, no ovulation, suspected miscarriage Oct 13 never confirmed, BFP April 14, miscarried at 9+4wks, the most horrific thing I've ever been through. The only positive to come out of that experience is that my periods became regular at 34 days each cycle.

I've conceived again, after a cycle of trying all sorts of whacky stuff!! Got my BFP 13dpo (mc BFP was 18dpo) so originally I was chuffed that I seemed to have more hcg earlier than last time, this must be a good sign, yes? Been having all the same pregnancy symptoms as last time, but they're not as severe. Last pregnancy I had bad dreams about miscarrying, I was in awful pain and I was very negative and I honestly felt ill, and how many people have said before 'for god sake she's only pregnant she's not ill!' Well I was rotten! I had bleeding and spotting from 6wks, and it ranged from heavy dark red, bright red, dark brown, to wishy washy light brown, over and over, and I had this until I was 9wks exactly, then the miscarriage properly started. It was awful. Basically I'm on here, because yesterday at 5+3wks I bled bright red and dark brown in the evening, and then spotted dark brown/light brown overnight, all of today, and it's basically fading into nothing but light brown CM this evening - I would be happy, but I remember last time I had some days or half days where I wouldn't spot at all, and then have a massive red bleed. So I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

Basically I think I want some advice, some similar stories anyone can share? I've read all sorts, stories ranging from the same thing and ending in miscarriage, to the same thing but ending in a beautiful baby 9mths later!! I'm just looking for some hope, I'm having terrible moodswings where I think mega positive for a bit, and then cry my eyes out and think the worst...

GP, midwife, early pregnancy unit all say they won't see me until I'm 6wks. That will be Friday, so I'll see someone then if this continues. But I am already booked in for an early scan next Thursday when I'll be 6+6weeks. Every time I've been noticing cramps, not many, I've been thinking yippeee pregnancy symptoms, but since yesterday all I can think of is any cramp or twinge means I'm gonna lose my baby.

Thanks for reading, sorry it's such a long post, I'm out of practise!!

Kath xxxxx

I'm really sorry you're going through this. Not much to share...unfortunately I've had it go both ways. In 2011 I had red spotting for 1 day at 6 weeks and loss of symptoms that eventually ended up to be a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks. I've also had some brownish spotting and AF cramps with this pregnancy but all has been well so far. Really hoping this turns out well for you. I know how must concerning it must be! HUGS!

Thanks so much! It's mad how two pregnancies can be sooooo similar and both have different outcomes!!! Crazy!! Next weeks scan can't come quick enough xxxxx

I've had spotting/bleeding that's turned into a miscarriage, I've had spotting for 1 day but gone on to have my daughter, and I've also had spotting/bleeding/cramping from 5 to 11 weeks and gone to term (my last pregnancy). It could be you have a small bleed in your uterus and that's causing the spotting. I've had that with several of my pregnancies. It's called a subchorionic hematoma and it's quite common.
