Stressed, scared and not sure how to deal....

Hello,

I am about 6 weeks pregnant. And for the last few weeks have been bleeding. It got to me so much that I went to the GP.. and just said that I need to know if im I have hope or not. He send me to my OB who did a quick scan to check. (where I found I was 2 weeks earlier than expected.) He said all was good. Heartbeat was good.. and a good sign. He said that my uterus was good. No bleeding was coming from there. BUT even at the scan (internal) I bled... a fair bit. It didn't relieve my worry really. Cause as I was getting to leave he said.. "I wouldn't tell anyone yet, you still have a 1 in 7 chance of a miscarriage." So here I am half a week later.. and still bleeding. ITS DOING MY HEAD IN. When its a good day.. I start thinking about the joy's of being pregnant and wonder about the lil person inside of me. On a bad day.. like today.. I wonder how will I cope... how will I explain...

IS this normal???

:( hugs, It doesn't sound like you got any answers at all.
I have never been in your position so not sure what to suggest. Maybe going to the ER & see if you can get another scan?
To tell you everything is fine when your dates are 2 weeks behind & you where bleeding at the scan is just weird to me? What was his explanation for the bleeding then?

You poor thing you must be stressed.
I agree with Efjay, I think maybe you should see someone again, you need peace of mind.

Good luck

:comfort: this stress must be horrible for you.
I had a couple of bleeds at the very start of my last pregnancy but not as heavy as you have described. Like the other ladies have said, I really think you should get a 2nd opinion because your ob only said where it 'wasn't' comming from, not where it WAS coming from or what was causing it YKWIM? My dates measured 2 weeks behind for both of my pregnancies as well and the lovely girls here on BB assured me it was quite normal cause I think my dates were according to my LMP, but the scan was by actual conception.
I hope you get some straightforward answers very soon!
Gool Luck!

Oh hun, you didn't really get any answers or reassurance hey?

I agree with the PPs, is there someone else you can go and see? Perhaps take yourself to ED? Are you in any pain?
I think that bleeding in pregnancy is more common than we think though and know that there are ladies on here who bled (some all the way through) and they have healthy babies.

:hug:

Thank you everyone!!

Ive got no pain.. and the bleeding today was very faint. So im taking it day by day. I know that they can't do anything if there is something wrong. So im going to ride it out for now. Been reading up on it today.. and it does seem normal. To a degree. And its not heavy heavy like a period. So that is something. And the fact ive got no pain is a good thing too apparently. SO ill be taking that as GOOD signs.. and HOPE this BLOODY WELL STOPS!!! LOL

Chin up.. breathe in.... count to ten... breathe out. ALL GOOD!!!

Once again.. MUCH MUCH appreciated for you kind comments. It motivated me to look for more answers online.. and see it from another angle.

Hugs

Keep us posted babe! Glad you're feeling better about it all xxxx

I hope it's just an implantation bleed! But please do keep us posted anyways!! Will be thinking of you!! xoxo

How are you going Tascha? Has the spotting stopped? I am going through the exact same thing at the moment! Had a scan this morning and apparently i am not as far as i thought. Still spotting a bit too.

Hope everything is going well for you! xx

Hello Stoked,
Glad to hear you are all good!
I am ok. Still spotting. It only really goes away for a day or so then comes back. Its mostly very light pink of brown. So im just ignoring it really. Stressing aint helping I keep telling myself!

I had a scan on the 1st of Dec. I just couldn't not know what was going on. They all told me.."there is nothing we can do to stop it, if you are having a MC". Like I don't know that!! Found out I was 2 weeks earlier than I thought. BUT saw a heartbeat.. and OB said that was at least a good sign. Not bleeding from uterus.. so where and why are still a mystery.

HUGS.. I know where your head is at. And I telly ya it aint easy! Bloody mind loves to run around in circles thinking what? if? why?

Take care of yourself! Keep me posted!! OH you and I are about the same!!! Im 6+5 today! WHOOHOOO!!!

TO all the other wonderful ladies!
Ill keep you all up to date as requested too. Im due to see my ob again on the 22nd. Shall be in here again to let you all know how that goes. Other than that.. so far so good! Starting to get a few symptoms.. never thought ID WANT THEM!

Loads of hugs all round.
:D

I lost my precious lil baby today. Confirmed by scan.
Im ok.

I'm so sorry :(

:hug: Oh Tascha, I'm so sorry.

:hug: I'm so sorry Tascha

I know this is way too early to think of it. But I have to let my mind do its thing.
How soon can I fall pregnant again?? How soon will my body be ready??

Didn't know where else to ask this ..

Thanks for your kind words ladies. I never thought a M/C at this early stage would still hurt so much.
Its better to have loved and lost.. than never to have loved at all.

Hugs

I don't think it is too early to be asking/thinking about this, in fact I see it as a natural progression from what you are going through. You need positive thoughts to be able to move forward, not forget but to make steps forward. I don't know the answer, but wish you the best of luck. xxxx

I'm so sorry xx :hug: I wish you all the luck & happiness for your future!

Tascha,

I am so so sorry you have lost your baby :hug:

I had everything crossed that things would work out for you.

It definately isn't too soon to be thinking of trying again. It will be an important step in your healing, a positive to work towards. Some doctors will recommend waiting a few months and some say that as soon as you feel ready to try again. I guess checking with your own Dr would be wise. I suppose it depends on a few different things.. Are you waiting for things to happen naturally? I know after my last D&C it took a few months for my body to get back to normal.

I wish you all the very best with falling pregnant again and i hope that it happens very quickly for you and you get to hold a precious baby in your arms very soon.

So sorry about your angel Tascha! I was looking into conception chances of those who waited VS those who didn't post D&C. The conception rate was higher for those who didn't wait. I hope you get a sticky one soon! :hug:

So sorry to hear about your baby.

I had a missed miscarriaged for my first pregnancy, was picked up at 13 weeks via ultrasound (first ultrasound in the pregnancy) I had a D&C the next day. Like you I immediately started thinking about TTC again. I had a AF almost exactly 4 weeks to the day of the D&C and then fell pregnant the next cycle.

Good luck, it is an emotional time at the moment your hormones will be all over the place but be gentle on yourself, and good luck with TTC your next pregnancy

Tascha - I'm sorry for your loss. As for when to try again, I thought exactly the same thing earlier this year. We had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and we started trying again straight away. We didn't get UTD the first month after the miscarriage (my cycle was messed up as a result meaning we DTD at the wrong time) but we were lucky enough to fall pregnant the second month after the MC. Everything has gone well this time. I wish you all the best.

Ladies.. a huge thank you! HUGS
Im indeed keen to just try again. I think it will do my head in if we "wait". So shall chat to DH about it asap.
Im still bleeding... and im really really really hoping that it goes away really really really soon. I know its been a few days only.. and that I can bleed for weeks. But that would sure put a damper on the silly season!! Got my OB appointment today to check everything.

hugs

Hello,
Just wanted to share that we fell pregnant again the month my Angel would have been due. Still early days and trying my hardest not to stress. First scan on the 21st at approx 11 weeks. Fingers, toes and everything else that all will be fine.
Tascha

Congratulations Tascha!!

Hope all is going well for you, I know how you will be stressing as much as you try not to it plays on your mind. But am sending lots of sticky vibes your way.
