Missed Miscarriage @ 5weeks?

[EricaH]

Hey ladies, I'm pretty sure I'm already out before I even have the guts to tell anyone I was back in :-/

Yesterday should have been 5weeks 2 days for me. I was very apprehensive with this pregnancy considering my last ended in a mmc at 10 weeks (baby measured 8 weeks, had a D&C May 20th)

The same thing that happened to me with my mmc happened last night. I was just hanging out at my apartment when I got a small squirt of blood. Went to the toilet and wiped, it was a light red. Thats all the blood I had, no cramping, back pain ect. And while that really wouldn't be too worrisome for most, thats exactly how I found out about my mmc last time. Except last time I think I had a little more blood and it was darker.

The only thing that confuses me is, do you really get mmc @ 5 weeks? I would have thought this early on, if it was going to happen it would all happen at once.

Didn't want to read and run.

I've never heard of a mmc happening that early and like you would have thought that it would just happen. Bleeding can be normal in early pregnancy, i would go to your doctor/epu and they should be able to help you out.

Hi Erica,
I had a MC at 5 weeks and at 8 weeks. At 5 weeks there wasn't even as much blood as a period, it kind of poured out for a minute or two, then rapidly tapered off to spotting for a week. I was also having painful cramping and sharp pain in one side for a good few days before the bleed. I had had a few faint positive tests at 4 weeks, but the lines weren't getting darker which showed something was wrong.

At the 8 week MC, there is a heck of a lot more blood and pain. It was like a major heavy period, I needed casualty for pain relief.

But I have also heard many tales of girls having bleeding and things are ok. If you had a MC at 5 weeks surely there should be more bleeding than you describe? The EPU wouldn't see me until 4 days after my 5 wk MC as they said scanning was pointless at that stage (don't know if I agree) but they just did a test which by then was negative.

If you have had another MC I am so very sorry, what a horrible journey to trying to have a baby! But you might be ok. Let us know how things turn out.

I had a scan and baby measured 5w2days saw hb as well, started a light bleed a week later and went for another scan baby had died and hadnt grown from previous scan so yes you can have a mmc at 5 weeks

Huge hugs from me sweetheart, to be honest a scan at 5 weeks really won't show anything worth seeing, it would be very difficult to even see a gestational sac at that stage, but if you have a positive hpt/other concerns a scan at 6 weeks would be able to identify if things are ok or not

I just got some potentially phenomenal news. My bloods thursday (2 days before the bleeding) were at 346. My bloods yesterday were at 4100 (3 days in between) with a progesterone of 22 and then 19. So I could still be in the game. Not getting my hopes up but trying to remain positive.

That could be good news there, hope so

You are lucky to be in the US, over here they don't bother to do anything for you that early. It's just a wait and see.

Sounds like you just had a little bleed, hopefully it will be ok.
