Really just wanted to get alot of things off my chest and rant. Sorry for the block of text ladies.

My first pregnancy was in February. I started spotting when my period was due, but a lot of ladies I knew had the same thing so I was worried. It stopped after a week.
At 6 weeks I KNEW something was wrong because all of a sudden I started bleeding bright red the flow was like a period. Everyone told me I was fine, not to worry. I had pregnancy symptoms! It was all in my head. Well I get to my first appointment and it was a blighted ovum.

I'm finally pregnant again and I've been spotting since my period was due. Except it was been fairly constant for 3 weeks. I'm supposed to be six weeks but I measured at 5 weeks. We were at least able to see a yolk sac this time but with all of this spotting and measuring behind I just can't shake this feeling. And it pisses me off that everyone of my family members keeps telling me (once again) that it's all in my head. There's nothing to worry about this one. The last time they said that I almost bled to death and then continued to bleed for 2 1/2 months -_-; .
My hcg levels were low at weeks 4 and 5 but they were at least doubling and that's the only thing I have to hold one to right. Waiting til thursday is killing me.
 
I just stumbled across your thread by accident--I am so sorry for your loss, and I'm so sorry you're having such a stressful time right now.

I had a miscarriage in December of 2013, and fell pregnant again in February 2014. I spotted almost immediately after getting my BFP, and continued to spot on several occasions between 6-8 weeks. I was terrified, cried constantly, and was sure I was having another miscarriage...he just turned 1 in October. : )

Spotting can be so common and mean absolutely nothing in early pregnancy. But it is impossible not to worry, especially after what you've been through. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Doubling numbers sound very promising--praying that Thursday brings you a great report and some peace of mind. BIG hugs!!!!!
 
Thank you so much for your reply. I just had my scan today and we saw a heartbeat! I am absolutely thrilled. I know this is no guarantee but it's a step in the right direction and I feel that I can relax somewhat now.
 
Just saw your thread and came along to say I know the feeling - it's an anxiety I don't think you can ever shake after a loss - and saw your update!

Congratulations, that's great news! So glad your little bean is doing well so far! X
 
Thank you for your reply. Now if we can just get this spotting to stop XD
 
Just popping on to say I'm in a similar boat. Had a mmc at 12 weeks nearly 2 years ago and after 3 ivfs I'm finally pregnant again. My new bfp bliss lasted 6 days when I had a dark red bleed!!! I've had brown spotting/discharge twice since and I'm completly terrified I'm going to have another loss.

Congrats on seeing a hb at your scan, that really increases your chances of things going well. Xx
 
Mrs W, I hope everything turns out perfectly for you and your little bean. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Big hugs!!! Will you have a reassurance scan any time soon?
 
Thank you. Yes I've booked a scan for a week today when I should be 6 + 5, praying I make it that far and all is ok xxx
 
I will be praying for you Mrs. W! There is nothing more terrifying than bleeding during pregnancy T_T I hope your little one is healthy on your next week scan.
