    Hi everyone - sorry for the slow reply. Just trying to rest this morning as I feel like I've been dragged through the wringer.

    Well, when my best friend got to my house she made the wise point that considering the time of night, the Royal Women's most likely wouldn't be able to do a scan as they didn't with all 3 of her miscarriages there so I was better off calling them first to make sure.

    I did and the Triage Nurse advised me that they couldn't do one, and confirmed that no hospital in Melb would have staff available to do one as I 'wasn't bleeding profusely'. Fair enough. She also said the only thing they'd be able to do is a blood test which would be quite useless as I would still have HCG in my blood and as my last test was 5 weeks ago, there would not be a consistent measurement of whether I was dropping or not. So she just advised me to wait over night and see if I was bleeding in the morning.

    Well, I'm basically at the same point where I was yesterday - I still have to go 'investigating' to find any blood and now the colour is definitely brown, no tinge of red at all. So it looks like I'm playing the waiting game. If it starts to come out on it's own then I need to head to the hospital. If not, then the Nurse advised it's most likely just old blood making it's way out of my body.

    Still can't figure out why it chose now to do so but I'll take that explanation over a miscarriage any day.

    Again, thanks to everyone for your concern and sticky vibes. I'll let you know if anything changes again but I'm going to think positive and assume it won't!
