Aw hun really sorry.....I hope it is just a harmless bleed....Go to A&E if you are unhappy with what the doc said...

The best thing you can do now is to try your best to relax and put your feet up. I know it's really hard not to worry and keep going to the toilet to check if it's worse but you need to try.

I had some early bleeding and like you I've M/C'd before so I was really worried about it but my doctor was great and reasured me that many women who have bleeding don't M/C.

The cramping is quite normal too because like you said, it's normally stretching pains. A little bit of blood might just be caused by hormonal changes and as long as it doesn't become heavier or the cramping gets stronger, it's a good sign.

Like someone else said you could go to A&E if it gets worse. Unfortunatly they're unlikely to be able to see anything on a scan just yet but they will do a blood test to check your HCG levels and check your cervix to see if it's open and if you're actively bleeding or not.

I'm with everyone else, try and relax (I know it's difficult). I had bleeding a couple of weeks ago and I passed a clot, I was really worried. Nobody saw me for 3 days and then I had a scan and everything was ok. It's very common.

If the bleeding does get heavier or you are in pain go to A&E. They do tend to examine you quicker if you do that.

I hope everything's ok hun

Oh Tinkerbell I am truely feeling for you right now. Easier said than done but really try to relax. Maybe get some sleep to let some time pass. It could be absolutely nothing as from others that have had the same symptoms and everything to turn out fine. I await any news.

thanks everyone for all your kind words, i am going to try and get some rest but i dont think thats gonna be that easy! hopefully everthing will be okay tonight and ill ring my gp in the morning. will it be too early for a scan as ill only 5+6 weeks tomorrow and will i have to have an internal? i had an internal before when i had some bleeding and as soon as the doc finished i just started bleeding really heavy and in the back of my mind i always wondered if that made things worse. i just cant believe this is happening again, i just cant. life can be so cruel sometimes

Its really difficult when you have experienced a loss in the past!

I had quite a TTC journey and when I started bleeding with my little lady I thought I was doomed! It continued on through most of my first tri nothing heavy or clots but there when I visited the bathroom! Shes with me now so it can be quite common. Try to relax (harder then said) and ring your GP or early pregnancy uniy (just ring local hosp switch board) and ask for some advice and they will help you from there. If you heavy bleed and its accompanied by pain thats sharper than what you would consider normal please head to your A&E

Hope all is well

I had an internal also btw some say they aren't the best idea but they know what they are doing.
