I've been having contraction/cramping pains since Friday. not super strong. But I recognize the feeling from having my older two. I've passed a few pretty large clots that make you feel like you need to sit on the toilet. I'm assuming one was the baby. No way to tell. Since this is the 4th day of med-heavy bleeding I'm hoping I'll be done soon. I went back and counted and I've been bleeding for 16 days...

Hello! May I join? I had an ectopic in June of 2014, and then a MC at 5-6 weeks in October. It was very early.

I'm sorry for your losses . Welcome.

I'm wondering if I can join too. I should be 8+3 and at last scan was measuring over a week behind been spotting since last Tuesday was mostly brown but sometimes pink and in my heart of hearts I think it's the end. I will know by my beta results tomorrow this will be my third miscarriage I wish I seen this thread before instead of going through them myself. I'm so sorry for everyone's losses xx

I don't think I need to hear the results today as predicted I think it's going to happen today. I just had a gush of red blood no clots yet but a gush all the same. I'm scared of the pain and if I will see anything that remotely looks like baby I've never been this far along I would be 9 weeks on Friday xx

Hi hon and I'm sorry you're going through this. Are you absolutely sure you are miscarrying? There can be many other reasons for bleeding in pregnancy. Betas at this gestation would not be as useful as ultrasound. Are you set up for a repeat ultrasound?

I'm so sorry celtic and ajarvis, brings back memories to my MCs, it's not something you'd wish on your worst enemy .

No not sure Hun...... It's looking bleak tho. With my 2010 miscarriage I bled brown blood 3 hours later full blown miscarriage. I got my betas recreated again from last rues til sat they went up but only over 4000. None of the red blood reached the pad yesterday but was there when I wiped on one occasion with 2 very small clots next occasion one very small clot yesterday morning, through night brown spotting again. This morning after BM some considerable red blood seeped out into the toilet. Sorry if tmi. Not loads if you know what I mean. My worry is I've had constant period like tummy and back cramps since yesterday surely that can't be good. First two scans seen a heartbeat scan booked for Thursday at 8.40 xxx

Wantingagirl I hope there's another explanation for your bleeding! Fingers crossed.

Thanks Confuzion I passed what I think was the placenta yesterday and I have not had any more contraction like feelings or cramps. Midwife thinks that likely it was wrapping up yesterday and that I've done a good job naturally. Good news is I don't need to apply next time I get pregnant because she's already accepted me! Asked me to wait 1 cycle before trying again just to let everything get back to normal. So I'm temping and going to buy some OPK to avoid ovulation. But we haven't had sex in like almost 3 weeks lol. soooooo. We'll see what happens This miscarriage has taken so long I feel like that is part of my body going back to normal. Think I'm going to pick up a HPT or two as well to see if the hcg is out of my body. I've never temped before so this shall be interesting.

I checked mine yesterday out of curiosity. It wasn't super low which surprised me. Soft yes, but not super low.

 

[CelticNiamh]

mine feel's like it just up a little from the Vag opening why oh why did I check

 

[confuzion]

wantingagirl - I am so sorry to see the update in your signature .

I never checked cervix during MC. I just avoided down there altogether afraid I'd cause some sort of infection since the cervix is still open. But sounds normal celtic I wouldn't be worried.

 

[laurac1988]

I never checked cervix during MC either. I was too scared to with the size of some of the clots coming out.

Body has thrown me a curveball. It is cycle day ten. I am still bleeding a light red flow, which in itself is really unusual for me
Today's OPK is >>>> this side

The other opk is from yesterday evening. Donor is on standby for tomorrow if we need him. Earliest I've ever got a +opk before now is cd18

after I was thinking what am I doing, and thought of infection while thinking of prolapse

I am sure it is normal so many things run though your mind!

 

[confuzion]

Holy crap laura! That looks just about positive! Maybe spearmint tea was your miracle drug! . YAY! I get positives on CD10 regularly so definitely possible that O is on the horizon!

Wow that is awesome and weird!! do a HPT just in case as well

 

[laurac1988]

I don't think I'm pregnant as I don't think my period would have allowed anything to stick around in there - it was very heavy. The Dr will probably make me do a hpt when I tell him about the bleeding in the morning. We shall see

I'm confused and terrified, c!

 

[wantingagirl]

Laura your opk is looking good! I know how scary it is tho. I'm dreading sex to be honest we haven't done anything since my bfp

Yep it was pretty horrific I passed about 5-6 large clots and then straight after passed the sac then a decent sized placenta xxx

 

[confuzion]

I know it is pretty confusing. I hope it wasn't an early loss and that you're gearing up to O. I hope your body is just getting it together finally!

 

[confuzion]

Keep an eye on your bleeding wantingagirl. My loss where I was a bit further on with baby measuring 9 weeks, I bled A LOT. Like A LOT. I was anemic for months. So if you're filling more than 1 pad an hour, definitely go to the ER! It worked out ok for me but I wish I would have gone as I really jeopardized my health for the sake of not going to a hospital. It was scary for me and scary for my husband.

Wishing you a swift recovery .
