Has anyone had tiny flakes of tissue after they use the bathroom during their first trimester????

I'm approximately 5 weeks pregnant not for sure yet since I haven't seen my OBGYN yet. But I went to the hospital last night to get checked out for what I thought was spotting and the doctor said it was too early to tell if everything was ok or not. They did a PAP and a vaginal ultrasound and said there was a sac, but didn't know much more than that. But today I've been seeing tiny flakes of what looks like tissue when I wipe and some floating in the toilet. No pain, just very minor cramping, but not all the time just randomly. I'm terrified. Someone please tell me this could be normal??

I'm afraid I can't tell you a lot, but is there a possibility it could be discharge mixed with a small amount of blood? Sorry if TMI, but in early pregnancy I had a lot of discharge. Does it look like a mild period? Some people do spot in early pregnancy and this is often a sign you will continue to spot throughout the pregnancy. Mild spotting is normal but should be closely monitored and reported to your doctor (as you have done). Because you are so early on your body might still be receptive to the hormones that would normally cause your period. This doesn't necessarily mean you will lose the pregnancy. If you start cramping badly or start passing clots you must contact your doctor. Good luck and try and get as much rest as you can until you can find out what's going on.

That's because when you miscarry you are guaranteed to bleed, but bleeding doesn't guarantee miscarriage. And women who have reported a miscarriage online would certainly have bled at some point. I would try and avoid doctor Google as much as possible, he doesn't often have a lot of good stuff to say! If you can get another scan in a week or so you would be able to see an embryo within the sac and hopefully a heartbeat. I didn't see my baby's heartbeat until 7 weeks. The fact that you've got no pain and it's not getting any worse is an excellent sign. Keep monitoring it. Fingers crossed for you x

I had the same issue your having but I got checked and both my babies are fine! Apparently it happens in first trimester.

Thanks for the response! It has been continuing. But hasn't gotten much worse. I don't even need to wear a pad. I only see it when I use the restroom and I wipe. No pain still. And my pregnancy symptoms are still here! It is like a very mild period. I guess I've been doing way too much reading online, because all I've seen is miscarriage. They say only less than 20 percent of women have a miscarriage, but reading online it seems like anyone who bled at all had one. I've been praying for this baby for so long.

Thank you so much I'll keep you posted!

Yes I saw my doctor. She said it seems like nothing to really worry about since it's not heavy at all and there's no pain involved. If I wasn't having that, I'd feel perfectly fine lol Getting blood work done right now to check hCG levels

Thank you so much for saying that Sharinalong22! It seems to be easing up a ton! Haven't seen hardly any "flakes" today, just very very light spotting. I think the baby will be just fine ♡ I'll keep all of you updated

Oh i hate to break this to you but that's not true.

Missed miscarriages happen a fair amount too. You've no idea something has happened until the doctor confirms it. Sometimes the body expels a missed MC eventually but often the body reabsorbs it. 

Not to make people worry - it's unlikely compared to a "normal" miscarriage. But it does happen.

One day i had what looked like flakes too. RED flakes. 

Nothing came of it. Kid's still kicking (literally)

Well good news is, it's toned down to the point where is looking pretty normal when I go potty My prego symptoms are still very much active and the doctor said she'd call me with my blood test results when she gets them back I'm hoping all is well

Well to let everyone know... I found out today that I am having a miscarriage. Very very sad time since I've been praying for this baby for quite some time.... If your bleeding during pregnancy you should definitely go get it checked out asap. :,(

this happened to me in January. The doctor did my sonogram and said there was no heartbeat/miscarriage. I didn’t start bleeding until 2 weeks later.
