Hi im just 5 wks pregnant and started bleeding last night. It was just 2 spots of bright red blood when wiping. I have had a lot of cramping since last night and went and saw my GP this afternoon. She sent me for bloods and Im supposed to have more on Monday and then see her on Tuesday for the results. I also have a scan booked for 7 weeks. Shortly after leaving the surgery I had a small gush of bright red blood again. Is there any hope?? Please tell me what to expect if this is a inevitable miscarriage. I know its early and but Im devastated

Steffie, first of all sorry if this turns for the worst....
if it is a misscarraige expect more bloods to be taken to confirm your HcG hormones going back to normal, they may want to do an u/s to check that there is no remaining tissue (sorry) and possibly if there is a D&C to clear everything out.... also depending on the doctor they may tell you not to try again for another 6-18 weeks....I really hope this isnt the case.

Sorry you are going through this.
Only time will tell, as some women get bleeding and things turn out alright, but it doesn't sound so good.
At 5 weeks if it is a miscarriage you will most likely experience just a heavy period.
My miscarriage was at 7 weeks and it was mostly like a normal heavy period with the exception of a couple of hours on the third day of bleeding where the bleeding and cramping were extra bad and made me feel very faint.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you girls for replying. I am feeling the worst is coming and Im just so devastated. I know there is still a chance but I could tell the doctor was thinking the worst today when I saw her. The two spots I had last nights were small clots so she seemed to think that wasnt great. This afternoon has been more. Im scared and so sad. I hate waiting. I watched my mum go through this and my brother was born sleeping. Life is just so cruel sometimes. I feel selfish for being so upset. Its hormones I guess.

Sorry you're going through this stressful time OP. I really hope it's not a MC ... fingers crossed.

I've just gone through one myself this week ... I was a bit further along than you but am sure it would be similar. Expect lots of blood, stock up on pads (I've been using night time ones all week) ive had lots of cramping ... especially when passing any tissue/clots. Get some good pain relief just in case. I've just been to the doc today to get a script for panadine forte as the cramping has been fairly strong. You maybe fine with just normal panadine/panadol tho given its earlier.

I have everything crossed for you OP that it's just a horrible scare

Life is really cruel sometime ... it's just not fair!!

Just remember its ok to be sad and grieve what you've lost ... even in those few short days/weeks so many plans are made and it's impossible to stop yourself dreaming of the future even though you know you shouldn't just yet ...

I know exactly what you're going through ... I'm in the same place right now.

Chillidog Im sorry for your loss. Thanks for your reply. It helps to talk to people that have been through it. I'm hanging on the chance it could be a scare but not feeling too positive.

[steffijade81]

And your right you do dream. I was already looking at wraps and stuff. I wasnt going to buy anything till 12 wks.Ive always said if I was going to go through this then the earlier the better. I have always been terrified after my brother and seeing what my poor mum went through. She was talking about him waiting for her in heaven when she died a few years ago. She grieved for him for 20 years. Im sorry I probably sound irrational now im just such a mess. Im so scared and equaly feel stupid because there is so many women out there that have been through what my mum did and that is so so much worse I guess. But any loss is devastating and I know on Tuesday the doctor is going to deliver me bad news.

How are you doing this morning OP? I've been thinking about you and hoping like crazy things have settled down.

I know it's pretty impossible not to but please try hard not to stress until you know what's going on. Many women do have bleeding in the first tri and still go on to have healthy pregnancies. This could very well be one of those times.

As for me we had our dating scan and bub was measuring 3 weeks behind and no HB so was pretty much over then and there for us. Had to wait a further 2 weeks for another scan to confirm so by the time I started to mc (day after the second scan) we had had 2 weeks to stress and cry. Now I'm actually going through the mc I feel I've been fairly strong because being in limbo land for 2 weeks was my version of hell. Now I can finish grieving and move on.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry to hear of your loss Chillidog. I started TTC in October and was shocked but excited that we got pregnant straight away! But I had heavy bleeding & cramps on Monday so I am also in "Limbo Land" at the moment. My bleeding also started at 5 weeks, my bleeding lasted 5 days so I don't hold much hope & all my pregnancy signs have gone - I just don't feel pregnant anymore.

I had another blood test today and then probably another ultrasound in a week. I too was shocked at how emotional I was when I only knew I was pregnant for a week when the MC started. I can only imagine how bad it would feel being further along

The waiting is killing me and I just want to start trying again - but then I am worried how scared I will be if I do get pregnant again. Trying to think as positive as possible and that all things happen for a reason, this is my bodies way of saying something was not quite right.

Let us know how you go with your results SteffiJade I see the dr Tuesday xxx
