I found out I was 6 wks pregnant and then on tuesday I had some spotting, I wasn't to concerned because I'd had this in my previous pregancy for which I have a 3yr old daughter.
I went to doctor to be sure and they said to have a scan yesterday, again I wasn't to bothered but during a internal scan they said that I had, had a miscarriage, I was and obviously still am deverstated!
It was such a shock! i just feel numb and don't really know what to do or say!
From being so excited to being told the baby isn't there any more! words can't describe!
I would like some advise from anyone who has been through this on how long the bleeding and pains/cramps last?

thanks xx

Hi Nomes1982 .
I would like to say that I am very very sorry for your loss. , & hope your next is successful.

I have had two miscarriages since April of this year. With my first miscarriage it was started the first & second day with just spotting which I had thought nothing of as well as you, When I went in my levels were dropping drastically & my ultrasound had showed no baby. I had no cramps at all on that one but lots of clotting (sorry TMI) , I bled/spotted for a total of 6 days. It was a natural miscarriage, & no D&C was needed. Doctor asked me to wait at least one cycle before trying again. I done exactly that & got pregnant right after my first normal period , which had been 27 days from the first day my bleeding started, lasted 5 days.

I then began to cramp alot & bleed (but not spotting & not super heavy) like a normal period. I had no clots at first at all . Went to the doctor & they told me I was miscarrying. At this time I did not need an ultra sound, My bleeding/spotting lasted a total of 6 days again. They said I was fine to go home, & I went to see my doctor, & he had told me due to my ultrasound from before , it looks like my uterus & everything was fine. He said I have no fertility problems because I can get pregnant, I just cannot hold on to my baby. He has made on appointment for the 20th with a gyno incase they want to run some tests, which he says they probably won't because nothing is wrong with me just that it might have been due to smoking & then qutting cold turkey .
He had told me I could start trying again right away. I am extremely devestated, me & my boyfriend were sooo excitedd. Now I am 1dpo, & waiting to test again.

I tell you this, because the doctor told me they are very common amougst women, & even if you have had a successful pregnancy. I know I still have hope, I just try not to stress & keep my head held high .

I hope that your next pregnancy will be a very healthy & happy nine months and beyond
& congrats on your first child .

hello everyone, firstly i would just like to say how sorry i am to read about your very sad stories. i feel like im intruding on your links the reason being is because my losses happened 25-30yrs ago. i suffered 6 miscarriages and 1 ectopic pregnancy, the ectopic pregnancy was very traumatic and i very nearly lossed my life. i would have hoped that after all this time there would have been more understanding and compassion to you all that have gone through the loss of a baby, irrespective of how far advanced the pregnancy was. All those years ago it was a taboo subject to even dare speak about the loss of a baby, my first pregnancy ended at 20wks i never even new what sex my baby was, I was told by the medical profession that i would not want to know (how wrong they where ) after the ectopic pregnancy and with only one fallopian tube I went on to have 3 beautiful daughters and I thank god everyday. my message to you all is that you never forget the little ones you loose (iv not and its 25yrs +) but the pain does become bearable. my eldest daughter is now a midwife and she has asked me about the experiences that I encountered, she is determend to not let her patients suffer in the way that i did. I think its brilliant that there is a site like this for women to seek help, advise and support and I wish you all the very best xx

im sorry to hear your loss hun , im going through a natural miscarriage at the moment im not in too much pain but im having period like bleeding and the odd period like cramps coming and going more so in the last hour its manageable , im not sure how long it will last but if you need to talk im here , i was 6+6 but the sac measured only 6+1 x
