yes it was amazing seeing what is the start of our baby, but its looking like a mc, they took we are it was negitive
took bloods and on monday have to have more taken to see if hcg levels have risen or fallen, its so unfair, the hospital looked at me so stupidly, even thou i was told by doctor surgery to go their and be checked out! i feel like a mess about everything specially going to the hospital cause i am only 3 to 4 weeks pregnant, but i had to have an anti d shot and made them give me one i dont want to ruin not concieving again, as my last baby was o+ and being negitive blood my body can kill off any pregnancy if bloods mix up and stuff.
my family have been great, my partner was making me laugh in hospital, and i know this sounds silly but toey as all hell for some really silly reason, so i got laughed at.
i hope my little angel is still their but if not i hope he or she is will be bought back to me in my next pregnancy, you just cant help but fall in love with the little beans and thinking about all the what if's. i think its something that will never go away.
thankyou for all the support, i will let you know what happens for certain, but one thing is the doc i had been seeing never did hcg level count so never going back to him he was never my baby doctor only saw him cause reception wouldnt fit me in.
thankyou all xxx
hi thought i would update bleeding has lightened up! i was never bleeding heavy anyway, but i dont know if this is good or bad.
i know this might be TMI but the only clots i have lost so far were ones big as a full stop and only one that was as big as a 50 cent piece. still like no cramping had twinges but nothing to make me cripple over.
i dont know what a mc is supposed to be like at 3 to 4 weeks pregnant, i still dont think things are looking good cause on a digital test which i have used for the first time it came up not pregnant, hospital told me to check hcg levels with hpt's to see if i get a reading, but the sticks from the digital have 2 lines both blue but one line is lighter but very much their.
sigh i am so trying not to get hopes up that little one survived this, i have never soaked a pad yet never filled one to compactity or anything its like i have a my normal period, i wish i could take my mind off this but its hard not to, can anyone explain more what is supposed to happen when you mc, and if a mc is doing its job or not, i dont want to end up with a d & c last time i did they ripped my cervix and ended up with a stitch or two put in, i prefer to have this whole situation happen naturally if mc is taking place
I am a little confused what you mean when you say 3 - 4 weeks pregnant? Do your mean your last period was 3 - 4 weeks ago, or that you ovulated 3 - 4 weeks ago?
If you ovulated 3 weeks ago you would be about 5 or 6 weeks pregnant, and a miscarriage at this stage would be like a heavy period (usually, assuming that everything happens naturally). If your last period was 3 - 4 weeks ago then I suspect a miscarriage would be like a normal period.
Rest up, and I hope you get some firm answers soon
ashie, I'm really sorry you are going through this and hope it all turns out ok.
As for wondering what a miscarriage is like this early I can tell you as I had one almost 2 weeks ago when I was around 6 weeks pregnant (I rekon it was closer to 5 weeks though). Anyway, it was just like a normal period for me. There were a few clots but they weren't big or anything. I didn't have a 'gush' of blood or anything and wasn't filling pads, it was more like a steady period for a couple of days and then it tapered off....Basically, the miscarriage started on Tuesday morning and both Tuesday and Wednesday were period type bleeding. By Thursday morning it was just very light and by Thursday evening I didn't even bother with a pay anymore... As for the cramps for me it was maybe a little more than a normal period (for the first day really). To be honest, there wasn't much difference full stop. For me, the best way for me to describe the whole thing was 'it was like having my period'.
last period was 5 weeks and 1 day when i started spotting, i dont have no idea what it would be like specially since we saw the start of what was our bub on ultrasound, i dont know what anything is supposed to be like i have had family say its supposed to be heavier than a period but i just dont know anymore, as i said i worry too much and trying to stay clear of a d & c specially since easter is next week and i dont want things ruined for the boys we are making a trip to the zoo and i aint cancelling it cause we did at christmas time, supposed to be resting but dont do much of that its hard when dh has to work and with my boys it can be hectic. dh's work have been throwing little sad's about time off and he has to tomorrow for my bloods and things hopefully they will understand and i wont get him into trouble with work
oh and one more thing nd i know this seems very silly, but very toey atm hahaha. after everything you would think i wouldnt want to but people have told me i cant do anything of the sort! but does it really make a difference its not like down there is sore or i am sore i feel real good to do so and no doc or nurse has said not to. and its not fair i feel like stamping my feet because my dh wont give in until tomorrow when see doc and get all clear to do so!
I would suspect at 5 weeks a miscarriage would be no less than a heavy period, but if the bleeding continues and does not stop, or if there is no more bleeding and future tests are negative, then it may be that you will have to consider a D&C. Also if you develop a temperature or generally feel unwell then it may be a good idea to see a health professional incase you have an infection in your uterus which can sometimes happen with an incomplete miscarriage.
This is such an awful time, you have my full sympathies. I remember feeling like my world was falling apart yet to everyone around me it was "just" a miscarriage. Be kind to yourself, cry if you have to, and share with a friend who would be able to support you. Test again in a week and fingers crossed you will get some good news.
wel still no luck on finding out whats going on, took me all morning to get in to see a doctor not the doctor i want reception even hung up on me! doctor looked through everything ultrasound results were back perfectly fine no sign of blood or problems, so he is abit confused on how i started bleeding not long after ultrasound, bloods taken at hospital on sat arvo they come back pregnant but no idea on hcg cause they didnt put that down. so bloods today and weds then see doc thurs and find out if rising or falling i am very confused wee tests were neg at hospital, but they said that wee tests are often wrong, and i have another question now, if i have mc and it would of been sat morning when i got up would my hcg levels would of dropped real low by arvo, doc has not explained everything i wanted to know like how long will hcg levels take to be back to normal after a mc, and would it even be registering after you have lost what you have meant to and etc...
i know its most proberly not good but theirs hope, even doctor isnt 100% conviced yet he said 50/50 chance, i just wish i knew so i can get on with things, and after thursday when we know more i might be able to give things in the bedroom a go again yay!
