Freakin' out @ 7wks... help

Hi Emmykate
Try not to worry Hun. It is very common to get a change in the colour, amount and texture of your discharge. For some women it is only a slight change but for others it can be quite noticeable.

Thanks for the advice guys, i feel quite reassured. Maybe i am worked up over nothing. It is so light i'm sure noone else would even notice. For peace of mind i might just get a quantitative hCG at work on Monday as i have a friend in the biochem lab at the hospital, just to check it is going up!

Thanks everyone,

Hi

After having 2 healthy bubs, and then 2 m/c - my recent preg was a minefield of worry - I had a couple extra HCG levels done, and had an extra scan done at 8 wks which I hadnt done before.

In my opinion, it is easy to think to yourself not to stress - but that is all I did until I got the early results.

If it makes you feel better, yes get another HCG level and demand an u/s request from doc for 8 wks, if not - get one from another doctor!!!!! - then going into later scan you will feel much more reassured and will worry just that little bit less which can only be good for you and for bubs!

Thats what worked for me ....

I've been having this also... it comes and goes and I went to the Hospital whilst I was in QLD when it first started and it seems to be not too much to worry about - but having said that it doesn't stop me from pannicking each and everytime it happens

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I felt much reassured until it got a bit darker (still brown) and a little less see through and more solid in colour. I went to see the doctor who felt it was a threatened m/c and is sending me for an urgent scan tomorrow. I am praying there is a heartbeat, but honestly i am terrified. I dont feel like i have the strength to cope with another m/c and DH has to go away interstate for work tomorrow so can't even come to the scan with me. His job is so inflexible in that regard.

I will keep you posted... hoping it is good news.
