Hi Danielle,

I was in a similar situation to you. The day my period was due I woke up, went to the toilet, wiped myself and there was blood. At lunch time I changed my tampon and there was no blood, just brown type discharge. For 5 days I continued to get the brown spotting/discharge. It was quite light and I didn't need to wear tampon. On CD 32 I started to get pain then I felt a gust like I had just urinated. I went to the toilet and I had reddish brownish blood. I then had a bath and noted tissue like material in the water.

This had never happened to me so I went to the DRs the following day just to have a chat about it and falling pregnant in general. She seemed to think it was a chemical miscarriage. Apparently 33% of all first pregnancy end this way.

On a positive, if you did have a chemical miscarriage, it means you can get pregnant! It's a good sign. 1 month later I am pregnant - I think! I just got a faint Pregnancy test tonight!

Good luck xx
