Miscarriage - Have I definately lost mt baby?

[sweet_like_chocolate]

Hello there. I am 6 and a half weeks preganant, and whilst on holiday in Corfu I bagan bleeding on my last day there. The bleeding became heavy and there were clots. I had to put up with this during the flight home.It is now day 3 and the bleeding has slowed down, but still there a little. I went to the hospital yesterday and they say there is a good possibility I have miscarried, but that I should go for a scan. I am terrified at the thought of an internal scan, and my partner will not go with me. Is it possible to bleed this much and still have a baby in me? Please help with any thoughts. Thanks.

I am so sorry to hear you are going through this, but why are you so terrified to have an internal scan?  Is it because you may not see a baby there or is it something else.  From the sound of it, it sounds like you may have miscarried- the best way to find out for sure is to have your HCG measured- if it is declining over 48 hours than you miscarried, but if it continues to rise (they like to see it double) than there may be another reason for the bleeding and you should definately have a scan done to find out what is going on.  Good luck, please keep us updated on how things go!

I know you must be terrified.  You should see a dr and get a scan ASAP.  You are able to conceive and you are young.  Keep your head up your not alone.

dont lose hope i started bleeding really bad with my second pregnancy passed clots and all and thought for sure i miscarried i went in and had a ultrasound and the baby was fine they wasnt sure were the bleeding was coming from i bleed for almost 2 weeks. i had a healthy baby eight months later so just because you are bleeding dosent mean you lost your baby good luck to you

No reason to be frightened of an internal scan.  They don't hurt.  And you may be pleasantly surprised to see the sac still in place.  Good luck, honey!

Everything may be perfectly ok, but I would recommend having testing done, perhaps a cvs test.  It is done between 10 and 12 weeks.  I hope everything turns out well.  My prayers are with you!

I don't mean to discourage you. Things may go differently for you, but I had a miscarriage at almost 7 weeks. I experienced sharp pains in my pelvic region, I couldn't even sit up. I started passing clots for two to three days. I lost my pregnancy symptoms immediately. I thought my miscarriage was complete. I couldn't afford to go to the doctor at the time so I wasn't sure. But about ten days later I experienced severe pain and fever. Fearing an infection, I went to the doctor and an ultrasound revealed a blighted ovum and my pain got really severe. For a week or so I was bleeding and passed more clots. I believe my miscarriage is complete now. I am going to go see the doctor again.

Try to get as much rest as possible. Get medical attention and I hope you find out that this was nothing after all. Take care of yourself.

I too believe I am or have m/c just this weekend 9-3, 9-4 I have had cramping bleeding and passing clots and I talked to my dr and he said that a m/c was most likly the case. I went to have bloodwork done on sat and my hcg level was just over 900 which if I am 6 weeks that is low.  I have to go back on tues for another test butat this point i DON'T HAVE MUCH HOPE.  Thabk you , you have given me a little hope withyour story!!!

I have also had the same thing happen to me this weekend. Lots of bleeding and clots and it just seems to get worst by the day.  My HCG levels have dropped from 16000 to 10000 so it's just a waiting game at the point. I should be at least nine weeks but only measuring about six weeks so the baby isn't growing like it should.  The doctors have already given me several options to take and I can't decide what I want to do at this point. I do feel for all of you and know what it feels like.  I keep telling myself that it can be worst and think about all those who have lost a child during labor or at a young age and it seems to helps me go through this a little better.  This will be the strongest time of our lives, stay strong and I wish you the best.
