Here's my story - I miscarried back in June at 8 weeks (the baby had died at 6 weeks but I didn't start bleeding until 8 weeks) and it was so hard. We tried again and finally got our BFP in December.
I am now 10 weeks 5 days and yesterday I started spotting. I went to my doctor and he checked me out and found my cervix tightly closed and no sign of any blood. He also checked my uterus and said it was measuring perfectly. He tried to hear baby's heartbeat with the Doppler but couldn't and said that was perfectly normal because baby was hiding behind the pubic bone. He did tell me to take it easy for the next few days as a precaution.
So here I am, exactly 24 hours later. I have had more spotting (mostly brown blood but sometimes some pink discharge) and I'm so worried. I'm home alone cause my husband is out of town until tomorrow night. I'm so scared - we want this baby so much and I don't understand why I'm bleeding/spotting!
There is no point in going to the hospital as they only do ultrasounds on weekdays and since it's Friday afternoon, I'd have to wait until Monday at the earliest to get one. Last time, when I was miscarrying, I started bleeding on the Saturday night and didn't get an ultrasound until Wednesday. Hence why I don't see the point in dragging myself down the the ER.
Any suggestions? Why am I bleeding? I've been praying to get to the 12 week mark safely and I was so close! I'm feeling so alone and sad right now.
