well i'm still hanging in here, although its getting emotionally harder again. 
No bleeding since Wednesday now... thats 4 days...
boobs still sore...
no other symptoms to report and as i near 6W i would expect to be getting more symptoms...
i do have a total loss of appetite, but i'm sure thats due to the stress of it, as i thought complete hunger was the symptom... not the other way round.
Did a test just now, 4 days since the last one, couldnt see a difference between this one and the last, test line as dark if not darker than the control.. and came up as quickly..
but i dont know about HCG, i dont know if its falling how quickly it falls and how quickly the line would get faint...
If i make it without the bleeding starting again then 7 day scan would be Thursday and i'm torn between pushing for a scan on Thursday or hanging in there til the start of 7w .. as if i go on Thursday it will only be 6w + 4 or something like that, maybe too early again to see anything..
what do you guys think?
I have no cramping or twinging at all.... havent since i started the spotting, where as before that i was getting twinges as they were scaring me... and i'd shift about to try and stop them, but now nothing, no pain when i sneeze, no funny twinge here and there, nothing.
I cant help feeling that sticky has died and even if i get to the scan without bleeding out, its gonna be a missed miscarriage on the scan.

Clownfish, I'm sorry you are going through this. This is an utterly gross suggestion, but if f you really want to quantitatively check if your hcg is going up, you could try diluting your urine (such crazy ideas occur to me only because I am a scientist).The way to do this would be to find the maximum dilution where you are just under maxing the test out, and then increasing the dilution at later timepoints.
I had a missed m/c at 12 weeks. I never had spotting, but I found out during a u/s that the baby had died (i'd seen the heartbeat twice before). Either process is utterly dreadful.
I was diluting my urine out for a while because I had already maxed out my stick by 5 weeks, and I liked to check up on how I was doing at home. One day (around 9 weeks), I remember that I had found like it had gotten slightly lower, but because I was diluting it so crudely I could not be sure. 3 weeks later, I found out it was all over.
The next time I ever get pregnant, I will be diluting precisely, so if the levels start to fall, I can atleast tell.

hey Jay, i know thats the problem... my sticks are sensitive to 10 and i'm up at 10,500 or something so they are no help anymore...
i kind of get what you mean about dilluting but i only have 1 stick left and i'm not sure there is much point now...
i like your thinking though, stupid that they cant invent quantative POAS for all us ladies..
Sorry about your MMC, thats my biggest fear, but i have a feeling that will be realised.

I had bleeding with this Little one at 5 weeks, bright red then when brown, i went to the hosp and got checked out and had an early scan. if you are worried get yourself a doc app or just go down to your a&e, which is what i did, i also had bleeding @ 13 weeks and again i rushed down to a&e, wasnt waiting for a doc app!! x
day 7 since the bleeding stopped... hasnt started again (yet)
Loo terrifies me. I try not to look sometimes just to give myself a break, that involves physically shutting my eyes, wiping and flushing otherwise i cant help myself but look.
Have been struggling with painful trapped wind
which is really painful...
and the last couple of days have been feeling really weird, good weird or bad weird i dont know, i'm not sure i'd classify it as nausea just ad odd feeling in the pit of my stomach and a definite understanding of feeling physically out of sorts...
i also cant stand the thought of bread! Yes i know, sounds odd, but if i think of having toast or a bread sandwich (is there any other type) in my mind it would be like eating cotton wool...
however, i'm craving cheese..! Ha, and i dont eat cheese (too much fat, so bad for me)
i couldnt work out what to have for lunch yesterday and the shop was full of sandwiches which just made me think of cotton wool... wound up with a melon, some ritz crackers.. and a bag of baby belle..
very yummy too!
Trying not to read too much into all this as the stress of it all has probably turned my tummy inside out, but i'm definitely not imagining what i'm feeling....
Scan Friday AM... although they tried to convince me to wait 2 weeks... what a joke...
so what Friday may not be conclusive, but it should have grown at very least if its viable.. and guess what.. i can always go back for another scan a week later cant i....! The NHS are a joke around early pregnancy... bah!
3 days and many scary trips to the loo to go til Friday! Fingers, toes, eyes crossed for me please.

Oh you are so patient. Hugs*** I will be thinking of you on friday
OK, scan results are painfully inconclusive again.
The good bit, we have a fetal pole now...
Bad bit, no heart beat... .. and she says i'm around 5+3when i am supposedly 6+3
So guess what.... bright and smiley lady says re-book scan for 10 days...
I dont know what to think...
on one hand its clearly grown in 8 days... but i seem to be behind myself, suggesting its died...
i'm exhausted by all this.. trying to take comfort from the fact there is clear growth, but cant.
I wish this was just over if its going to be over, so i can start to re-build.

EPU are insisting I was 6+1 yesterday, but i know for a fact i was 7 weeks dead on.
Baby is so teeny at this stage, so dates are difficult. Don't give up hope

It can be a week out, I have been moveed over a week and a half with my last one (now 2 1/2) It depends when u ovulated and when you implanted or you could have ovulated twice. If so it could be implatation bleeding you had the other week. If you ovulated twice it could be your twin theory? and the one that has survived is the later one. The fact that it has grown is fantastic and the fact there has been no mor bleeding is also good. What a nightmare to have to wait another 10 days, I just dont know how you do it. DO oyu have any other P symptoms? what are your HPT showing are they still nice and strong?

Clownfish, I'm sorry that you are still in limbo. There is no fun in that and waiting another 10 days is pure torture. I am so sorry that you have to go through this.
I am very pleased that little one is growing, that is a very good sign. Use that as a constant positive reminder to help get you through these next 10 days.
Thinking of you and sending lots of positive thoughts and vibes your way. You will get through this.
We're all here for you any time you need to vent or chat.
Hang in there!!!
