Heavy bleeding but did not miscarry

Has anyone done this? I was 9 weeks preg on saturday, and I have felt fine. Anyways I was over at my sisters house next door, just finished watching a movie, stood up to come home, and blood just gushed out of me. Just like I was on a normal perood. My sister and I were freaking out. But I walked home, took a bath to clean myself up and went to bed. I was literally afraid to move! I never passed a bloodclot that I'm aware of. I did see 2 very small clots after I wiped, but other than that, nothing. But the blood was bright red. Anyways, went to hospital the next day. Doctor did an internal exam, and said I had stopped bleeding...there was only old blood visible. Had blood work taken. Hcg levels were at 70,973. He said that was good but even if the baby had already died the levels still could be up like that. Went for an ultrasound today. I was expecting the worst. Thought the baby had died but that I just had not passed it yet. But to my surprise, he/she was still in there. Moving around with a strong heartbeat!! I couldnt believe it. I still have to go go back tomorrow for more bloodwork to be done. Wanna see if the Hcg levels have doubled. Does anyone know what could have happened??? My ovaries also looked fine. I do not not know what to think. Im so afraid Im going to miscarry. =(

I had the same at 5 and 6 weeks and like you everything was fine. I had an ultrasound done at the time only due to my blood type and two weeks later heart beat and the clot underneath has gone. So scary though. I literally didn't know what to think and basically like you just rested.  Maybe it was a hc bleed that you had and have had resolve. :)

I am so confused right now about what is going on. I went in to the clinic and was told I was about 5 weeks pregnant tried to do a vaginal ultrasound but they couldnt see much and thought I might just be too early. I was rescheduled to come back on two weeks about 9 days later I started spotting which turned into full on bleeding. Unable to do the vaginal ultrasound due to clinics policy they did an abdominal one amd couldnt see anything nor find a heartbeat again. Because I was also cramping they seems fairly certain I as miscarrying. I was referred to see another doctor. Upon leaving I went straight to the er where they had a three step process. First they checked my cervix which is still closed so I miscarried yet. Secondly they ran blood tests to check my hcg levels which came back normal but I am still very early thirdly they did a vaginal ultrasound which confirmed the yolk had attached to the amniotic sack but they couldnt tell if the baby was growing. They were also unable to find a heartbeat. I was diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage and would have to wait another two weeks to know anything. They said its possible Im also not as far along as I was originally told but I feel like that;s not true I know exactly when o wouldve conceived. I bled for ten days now and on the tenth day my bleeding has ceased it; only light pink spotting and a lil brown old blood. I am so confused if I am miscarrying or not. I dont believe it was missed period because it wasn;t even close to my cycle date. My cramps have also stopped too. I have been mentally preparing myself for miscarriage for the last week and a half and now that Ive stopped bleeding i wonder if maybe Im not. My obgyn apt is on Monday that seems so far away. Has anyone experienced his much bleeding through pregnancy. I dont Even know how to feel anymore I have so many !iced emotions. This wasnt a planned pregnancy but I had decided to keep it. I was very sad when I was told I was going to miscarry but I had finally accepted it. Now idk what to think.

I am in a similar situation, I am 10 weeks pregnant and for the last 3 days I have been having heavy bleeding with tiny blood clots as well as serious cramps, since the bleeding did not stop I will be going to see my Obgyn today praying for positive feedback ,I don't want to loose my baby. Will keep you posted when I return.

Do you mind me asking what happened? I'm in exactly the same position at the moment but at 6.5 weeks. I've already had 2 miscarriages previously and I'm desperate for a baby so holding onto even the slightest glimmer of hope. Can't get a scan for 2 days so just have to sit it out.

Hello,

I just read your story, though it's from 2 yrs ago. Did your pregnancy scale through?

I am currently 6 weeks 6 days pregnant and have had heavy bleeding and clotting for several days. The dr has ruled as a progressing miscarriage but i am also staying prayed up.

Blessings,
Tee
