5 Weeks Pregnant & Bleeding Help!!!!

[Oddbod]

Hi all, I am really hoping that somebody will read my symptoms & say I had that and my baby turned out fine. I am 36yrs old. This is my 4th pregnancy but I only have one 7 yr old DS. My last miscarriage was in May and I had very similar problems to this pregnancy. I had a brown discharge 4 days ago then the day after I passed a small clot & I have been spotting/bleeding since. The blood varies in colour & texture from bright red to very dark red and quite thick. The bleeding is worse straight after a bowel movement. I live in UK and the Midwife told me 3 days ago that they won't scan me until I am 7 weeks. I haven't had any blood tests or anything so I am just left to worry & wipe. I have never been so familiar with my nethers. I seem to visit the toilet every half an hour to check. I am trying to stay positive that I still have other pregnancy symptoms. In fact my nipples have become more sore. Please help.

It is not all that uncommon for symptoms to continue on and bleeding come and go during a miscarriage.  As long as your HCG levels are somewhat elevated, this can go on.  It can be different everytime and for every one.  

That being said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with requesting another ultrasound or a second opinion.  It is your right, and you need to do what is going to put your mind at ease.  I did that with two of my losses prior to agreeing to a D&C.  I needed to know for absolute certain.

Best wishes, and take care.

Well, I am totally confused and trying not to pin my hopes on anything but my pregnancy symptoms actually started to get worse yesterday. I now feel nauseous, really tired and hungry. My bleeding also seems to have stopped and I have just had a slight brown discharge. Would this happen during a miscarriage??? When I miscarried last time my symptoms had diminished & my bleeding gradually got worse until it was accompanied by horrendous cramps for two days. I really hope the Sonographer has got it wrong or my dates were slightly wrongs & it was just too early to see a heartbeat. Has any of this happened to anybody else?

I too am so sorry to hear this.  I have been in your shoes and I know it's hard.  I hope you do get some answers, but whatever the case I wish you peace and healing.  Take care.
