This is the first time Ive posted here... I almost posted several days ago in the First Trimester section, but was hesitant - apparently for good reasoning :sad2:

I am 22 years old and this was my first pregnancy with my boyfriend of 3.5 years. It caught us by surprise, but the idea grew on us quickly, and we both became super excited about being first time parents.

I took my first HPT when :witch: was 11 days late, and tada = :bfp:

Had some upper abdominal cramping with a little brown discharge (only when i wiped). When I layed down, the cramping subsided, so I took it easy.
Next day I felt much better.
Around 6.5 weeks I still hadnt been to a doc, so I got another test as I was extremely paranoid. Tada = :bfp:
Two days to follow, I was at work (office position) and after a visit to the restroom, there was a fair amount of blood. I immediately went to ER, waited about an hour. They took a urine sample and blood test. Eventually I was put into a room & into a Johnny gown, by this time my boyfriend finally arrived. They wheeled me off for an transvaginal ultrasound. Once brought back to my room, they made my bf leave the room, and a doc and nurse did a pelvic exam. Upon finishing he told me there was bleeding (blood was all on the end of the thing they stuck in me to take a look - cant remember what its called) but that my cervix was closed. I was around 6-7 weeks (i am certain) and the doc said my hcg levels were around 4-5 weeks, so to come back in 48 hours for more tests.
I never went back after 48 hours for the tests as my med insurance was cancelled, and didnt want to have a bill through the roof.
The bleeding continued, than last night, with the most excruciating cramps Ive ever experienced in my life, Im pretty sure I passed the sac. Im still quite crampy, with a somewhat heavier AF... the discharge is sorta goopy which from what Ive read is normal, but I still feel like total crap.
I really cant believe this happened.
My mum passed away just over a year ago, suddenly, and now this... and it honestly feels like this ginormous lump Im never going to be able to get over. What was more ironic was that as soon as I told a friend I was expecting, she says "Boy, your mum sure works fast"... at the time I thought it was so sweet... now, it just really hurts. To have received such an amazing blessing than to have it ripped from you so suddenly... I really didnt expect to hurt this much... I think Ive cried more over this compared to when my mum passed, its ridiculous.
At this point, Im just hoping my m/c will continue as natural. As I imagine every woman feels upon such an event happening, I dont feel like going to the hospital, waiting for hours upon hours in discomfort.

Anyone happen to know when the cramping will subside?
I really just cant wait for this to be over.
 
Oh hun i'm sorry your going through this. If you don't want to go to the hospital perhaps you could make an appointment with your doctor for the morning just to make sure your ok.
I hope it is over quickly for you sweetie. The severe cramping only lasted a couple of days for me, but everyone is different xxx
 
i am so so sorry for your loss! I had a D&C so i really can't answer your question but i didn't want to read and run! We are all here for you if you need to talk!
 
Hi.....

So sorry for you loss :hug:with mine it went after 2 days but the bleeding continued for a while. Can you go to the Dr's and get checked out? x x x
 
i am so sorry sweetie:hugs:
 
Dont really have a family doc to goto. Since everything that happened with my mum (long story) I refuse to see him, in fear I might kill him... :muaha:hehe... so if I did need to see a doc, Id probably just goto the hospital. My health ins. is back which is good, but Im leery of hospitals enough as it is... as I said before, uncomfortable and just plain yuck.
I guess Im figuring if the hurt doesnt stop in a few days, Ill stop by ER again... until than Im just going to take it easy. Its like hardcore cramps, but they come and go...
Im so sick of crying :cry: but super big :hugs: and thanks to everyone for being so supportive <3
 
First off can I just say that im sorry for your loss sweetie, secondly you are not ridiculous for feeling this way over losing your baby!

A child is the hardest loss to bear.... I ask my Angels everyday to watch over my children and I hope to god I go before them, but my mum has lost a child and that pain will be the most agonising thing she EVER has to deal with, I know my brother was 23 when he crossed over but 23 or still in the womb its very very hard... yes our parents are so precious and we love them with all our hearts but when your child is taken away from you whether it be at 7 weeks PG 7 months PG, full term or aged 23 its the hardest loss ever!

So dont feel bad for feeling the way you do hun its only natural, I hope in time you can come to terms with your loss, we are here for you hun as and when! :hugs:
 
i am so sorry for your loss.......:hugs:

i hope that the cramps go away soon, mine lasted about 24 hours i think, but then, after so long i was just numb from it all, both the emotioanl and physical pain were beyond anything i had ever experienced.....

take care though, and i'm here if you want to pm me...

luv & hugs
:hugs:
 
So sorry for your loss. I hope the cramps go soon. Just look after yourself and when the bleeding stops do a test to make sure it is negative or you may need to go back to the hospital.
It is only natural to cry and you will hurt for a long time. It gets easier but you dont forget. Lots of us have been through it so you will have lovely ladies to share your feelings with who can supprt you. xx
 
I am so sorry for your loss, I have just mc at 8 +2, I had a d&C, I think you should go back to the hpital incase you pick up an infection:hugs::hugs: xx
 
Hi

So sorry for your loss :hugs: I had a m/c at 7 weeks in April this year and it truly was the most difficult thing I have had to go through, my experience was quite a bad one and I bled for a long time which was very distressing,my advice is to go back to casualty if you are at all worried about the pains and/or blood loss, trust in your own instincts, it will take you a long time to get over it all, emotionally as well as physically but there is so much support and love here you will get through it. :hugs: hope you are ok :hugs:
