I'm Currently Feeling: | Ah Nic, I was hoping to find better news from you this morning. I'm really so sorry hon. I do know how you feel, its horrible. I m/c REALLY early - just past 5 weeks, so I'm not sure my experience applies to you...
However... I had brown spotting for 5 or 6 days (started on a Tuesday) and the first red blood was the following Monday. Cramps were actually worse with the spotting than the red blood, once I was actually doubled over, it was as if someone stuck a needle in my side... but my bleeding wasn't heavy at all (like a slightly heavier af) but VERY clotty. I also did feel/see the sac (  ) and I bled for... maybe 4 days and spotted for another 3 and that was that... AF took 35 days to come again...
I so wish I could get to you Nic. You shouldn't be alone...  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hi girls, thanks for the information. It helps to know what lies ahead.
I could call my mum or gran but I don't really want to worry or upset them. My mum's at work and my gran is such a terrible worrier at the best of times. Oddly enough they've both been smothering the last two days - do I need help with this that and the other. We are all extremely close so it wouldn't surprise me if they knew.
My husband will be home in a few hours now so I won't be alone. I'm lying in bed using the logic that if I don't get up the baby will stick. Crazy logic but its keeping me sane at the moment.
I'll take another hpt on Fri but until then Im hoping and praying that Applepip can survive this bleed and cramping. Although realistically I know its not likely  | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hi Nic, my heart is going out to you right now. You should phone your mum or gran it is such a stressful and upsetting experience you should not be going through this on your own.
I am hoping that your LO will survive   | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hi
I'm currently going through the same so I feel for you.
I found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks ago, then a week later I started to spot brown blood. I got an early scan booked as I was quite concerned but 2 days before I was due to go the bleeding got worse. I has no pain what so ever but went straight to A&E. They sent me home and told me i'd have to wait for the scan. The next morning the bleeding got worse (still no physical pain) so I went back to the hospital. They gave me a scan but unfortunely I was told that although they could see something they were unsure as to what it was (I was told it could be either the sac or a blood clot). I am now having to wait until next monday for another scan. The bleeding has since slowed down but I have come to excepted that I have most likely miscarried. (My pregnancy symptoms were there one day and gone the next so I know myself it's not good news).
The emotional pain has got easier each day but the wait to be given a definate answer is agonising.
I am finding it a great help being on this forum. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | So Sorry you are going through this. I suffered a miscarriage 4 weeks ago.
You could try seeing your GP and get them to refer you for a scan. It might speed the scan up, so you'll know earlier. I saw my GP one day and got a scan for the next morning. I was ten weeks and was told that my LO stopped growing at 6. I started bleeding quite a lot of brown blood on the Tuesday and then Wednesday Morning it was loads of red blood. It was just like a period accompanied by cramps. They were no worse than AF cramps. The Thursday morning i had my scan and then the Sunday morning i passed the sac. It didn't really hurt, i just felt a lot of pressure like you do when you need a bowel movement. I had lots of heavy bleeding for a day after i passed the sac and then it tappered off to spotting and had stopped after a couple of days. I then had a second scan a week after my first one to check i had passed everything.
no matter what happens we are all here for you. Don't be on your own, call your Mum or Nan they would want to know and it helps to have someone with you.
Take Care

I'm Currently Feeling: | Nic,
I worried about telling my Mum and Gran for exactly those reasons, but once the hospital confirmed that my LO was gone, I told them, and they have been great. My Mum was upset, but I don't know what I'd have done without her this last few weeks. My Granny surprised us by sharing that she went through exactly this before she had my Mum, and she has been such a support to me. I've found that all the hugs and support from both of them have been so invaluable, but I did worry so much initially about how they would react.
Thinking of you loads, and sending more hugs.

I'm Currently Feeling: | I also felt worried about telling my family. I had told them the week before that I was pregnant and then the following week had to tell them that there was a very high chance that I was miscarrying.
I knew that my mum had had a miscarriage and an eptopic pregnancy before having me but had never really spoken about it much until now. She has been so supportive over the past couple of weeks and she knows exactly how I am feeling. She's always there when I need a chat which really helps. It's definatley what you need right now. | | | | Status: Offline
