Bleeding During Pregnancy - Women's Stories Of Bleeding In Pregnancy #3

[~Trish~]

Oh Emmykate , I'm so sorry to hear of your loss . It is such a sad and confusing time. Allow yourself to feel any emotion you need to. It is such a shock to go through a m/c. You may find the miscarriage and loss section here on BB comforting. You can find it here: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...th-loss-child/.

Just to give you some hope, I had a m/c at around 6 weeks in January of last year and was pregnant again by February with my now nearly 10 month old son.

I hope all goes well with your scan and you won't need a D&C .

Thanks Trish. Just got out of bed for the first time since getting out of hospital. Didnt need an ultrasound afterall because i am hardly bleeding at all. They just want to follow me up with bhCG and an anti D injection cos i'm O neg. I have insisted on an ultrasound later in the week though - just to check there are no retained products... i dont want anymore troubles later on. The hardest thing was watching them remove tissue during the internal exam and put it in a jar - my unborn baby in a jar. That was miserable for myself and my husband.

I realise that m/c is a common phenomena. I know there was nothing i could do. I know it is completely irrational for me to be angry - particularly when i have a sister who has had 6 abortions and that just makes me mad at the moment. I know my time will come, hopefully sooner rather than later... but i'm scared now of conceiving again in case the same thing happens. I know this is a natural reaction too. Nothing can stop me from feeling completely lousy at the mo and i have lost a little faith in God (i'm not hugely religious but i feel a little let down).

Thanks for the support. I'll check out the other forum. Hopefully i will have some good news next time.

Hi all! I am about 5 weeks along and have had some brownish discharge with some watery pink (sorry if TMI) staining for approx 2 days. I am freaking out! I have a OB appointment in about 45 minutes and I hope all is well! My spotting is about the size of 5c sometimes a little smaller even. I don't think I can have an u/s yet but we'll see I went to the WIC last night and had my hcg checked, so i'll have the results today. Quite frankly I think I might be further along, my last ms was about the equivelent to this which is abnormal, I took the HPT thinking I was pg (with other symtoms, sore boobs, nausea) but it was neg, and I left it at that. So I am either about 5 weeks or about 9 weeks I figure. Oh and no cramping yet. I keep thinking I am then it turns out to be wind Anywho better get ready. Ill post when I get back from the dr

Went to the Dr and my HCG was 260. So it lookslike I am only 2-3 weeks instead of 5 weeks like they thought. Everything else DR was not to worry about. Going in tomorrow to get another HCG to make sure all is well and the little ones is growing!

Good luck with your second HCG, and I'm glad they said not to worry. If it helps, I had lots of spotting & bleeding with my current PG, and it all went on to be fine. I also found that my symptoms were very different with a successful PG compared to a PG that m/ced. I had MORE PG symptoms with the one that didn't stick - go figure huh! So it goes to show that absence or presence of symptoms isn't necessarily the key.

I know how stressful it is, so hang in there & keep posting - all the best

I know it has been a while since someone replied to this thread but I am hoping someone can help me. I recently found out I am pregnant for the 3rd time this year. My 2 previous pregnancies ended in miscarriages so of course I am pariniod. I am trying to figure out how far along I am but I am a little confused. My last full period was in August but last month 6 days after when my period was due I had what I originally thought might have been my period. my periods are pretty regular and usually 3 to 5 days long. This was less than 24 hours but it was decently heavy and I had some cramping like in a normal period. Could this have been just a short period or could it have been implantation bleeding or break through bleeding? I don't know much about either so I am hoping someone can help me.
Thanks

Hi everyone. Wow thank goodness for this forum! I am 6 weeks pregnant, I found out last week. So imagine my horror after discovering some spotting last night, which turned into heavy bleeding today. As I have had a m/c 6 years before, I am absolutely terrified that this pg will have the same fate. I did not realise how common blding in pg can be. I went to see my doc, and he sent me for blood test, I have an u/s tomorrow, so I am anxiously waiting till then.

It is very re-assuring to know that others have been through similar problems, and have had a happy outcome.

Mandy.
