[Nadia77]

Hi Every one, I was thinking why not ask all the lovely ladies whom gone though a miscarrige in they life to update other of how many weeks they were when they had a miscarrige, what were the symptoms and would be great to know the reaons if known but dont worry if unknown... I had a miscarrige in Aug 2006, I was 13 weeks at the time but the routine scan showed that the baby has died at 8 1/2 weeks so was amissed miscarrige, although I had some spottin gand pain at 7 weeks but the 7 1/2 weeks scan showed everything was fine!
Tell me about your expperience and sure we can learn more from each other....
I am now almost 11 weeks pregant and still terrified that thing may have gone wrong quitley. I had a scan at 8 weeks and 10 weeks and was told all is fine and have heard the heart beat :-) Do most early miscarrige happen at 8 weeks or less?

I was around 7 weeks pregnant when I miscarried.  I didn't have any bleeding or any cramping.  I never thought it would happen, but from day one of finding out we were pregnant, we should have known it was going to happen.  My HCG levels never doubled like they should and they weren't very high... we still stayed optimistic.  My 6 week u/s showed what appeared to be a "normal" sized sac, but there was no heartbeat (doc said he wouldn't even be too worried if it weren't for the low HCG levels).  It was confirmed at week 7 that the baby didn't grow at all and there was still no heartbeat.  I was given a medication to use vaginally that finished the m/c (the doc didn't recommend D&C and he said if we waited naturally, it might take up to 2 weeks for the entire m/c to happen).  
It was awful, but I was lucky enough to get pregnant right after.  I'm at 14wks2days today.  I won't breathe easy until I deliver this baby.  I think that's the way all women feel.

I was 9-10 weeks pregnant when I m/c.  Had an u/s at 4 weeks everything looked fine.  Had another u/s at 6 weeks and heard the heartbeat.  During this whole time I spotted small amounts I mean tiny spots of brown blood.  Hubby and I went on vacation to Hawaii as we live in Alaska not a long flight for us.  Plus we had the doctors go ahead.  Came back from Hawaii on a Friday went to doctor for my u/s on following Monday no heartbeat.  I didn't have any symptoms of m/c  therefore I had to wait probably two weeks for the actual m/c to occur.  It was the most difficult thing I have ever done.  I also never had major pregnancy symptoms other than major tender breasts.  I felt great.  I am pregnant now and am in my 30th week.  So very excited.  Good luck to you.  My doctor kept encouraging me to just get to the second trimester and we should be home free.  He told me that most m/c happen in the first trimester. So far he is right.  I also spotted during the first twelve weeks with this pregnancy.  So I totally understand what your feeling.  Try to be positive.

I was only 6 weeks when I miscarried and I knew something was wrong when my lower back hurt so bad that I could not even sit up by myself.  I started to bleed Monday night and had menstrual cramps 100 times worse than a normal period.  The next day I went to the ER and had my blood work done and found out that I miscarried!  I havnt been the same since, although it only happened a few months ago it really keeps me up at night.

I'm not exactly sure how far along I was. I believe I was 6-8 weeks pregnant, most likely 6 weeks. My first clue was spotting. I also had NO pregnancy symptoms. I remember thinking, "Man, I feel awesome! No m/s or anything like that!" Over the course of a few days, the bleeding increased. Blood tests measuring my HCG and progesterone revealed I was miscarrying.

I did see something the size of an acorn or walnut in the toilet. It looked like a sort of bubble? I didn't pick it up. I just flushed.

I started spotting around 11 weeks....doctor said everything was fine...late into my 12th week I started bleeding brown, than it turned red. I went to the hospital and they took my blood, urine and did a Vaginal Exam. They told me my HCG was 11,901, I was Pregnant and my Cervix was closed, everything looked good. They scheduled me for an U/S the next morning in which we discovered a sac measuring 6 weeks but no baby or heartbeat. They did a Transvaginal and could only see the sac too. I think it was a missed miscarriage but my doctor insists it was a blighted ovum. So til this day I still don't really know what it was. I Miscarried when I was in my 13th week but somehow the sac was only 6 weeks. Don't have any idea what that means and the hospital and my doctors were horrible. I kept bleeding and Miscarried a day later. My symptoms were bleeding of course, cramping and a bad headache. I miscarried naturally. Took my HCG a month in a half to get back to non pregnancy levels...so needless to say hubby & I are TTC! :)

I went to an U/S at 8 1/2 weeks and it showed twins measuring 7 1/2 weeks with no heartbeats........At the time I refused a D&C b/c I was having no symptoms at all and thought that the U/S machine may be wrong or the babies were in the wrong place, etc....Had Hcg levels drawn and they dropped, so I chose to have the D&C after the dropping Hcg level as confirmation that the pregnancy was no longer viable....We've been TTC since with no luck so far....It'll happen when the time is right I guess....But I'm OLD and want to have a baby soon......LOL!
