@casattack and @nopegoat I’m so sorry yall are going through this. It’s a heartbreak no one should have to endure. Thinking of you both, and sending hugs your way. ❤️
@casattack and @nopegoat Im so incredibly sorry! I feel like just in the few weeks we got to know you so well and I'm going to miss you both. Please take care of yourself and good luck to you.
@casattack and @nopegoat - I am very sad to see you both go we'll miss you on this board. So sorry for your losses and I wish you peace moving forward.
So I posted earlier this week on this but I’ve had a lot of symptoms since then and hopefully it’s a good sign: So I’m 7 weeks and earlier this week when taking my son to school I started spotting. More like I spotted once. It was a small light pink gush. Then later that day some very small cramps (which are normal and I cramped with both my other two pregnacies). Called the doctors office and spoke to a nurse and she said multiple times it really didn’t sound like a miscarriage. Since that day I feel like my pregnancy symptoms kicked in (I had no symptoms prior to spotting). I haven’t had any more cramping or spotting, but I’m ravenous. Starving all the time. I also always have to pee. I have slight morning sickness (or at least my own version of it). I never throw up from pregnancies, but if i don’t eat as soon as I wake up in the morning the instant starvation hits and makes me feel nauseous. Also I crave water all the time which is so weird for me since I’m a pop/caffeine addict lol. Oh and the round ligament pain which in all three pregnancies was my first sign that something was up...But even though the nurse had said she didn’t think it was miscarriage I probably won’t be 100% convinced till the blood work comes back and says everything is ok. The blood work would confirm that right?? Also trying to decide if I wanna tell my family at a party this weekend before I get that blood work done. Does anyone know if you have my type of symptoms after a miscarriage or would that go away?
I am still having brown spotting, which seems to be getting heavier (meaning there is just more brown there) and now I’m heaving super sharp, sudden, short cramps in my cervix. It was really shocking how painful it was, even if it was brief. I saw that other board (ugh) about lightening crotch (I think that’s what it was called) but have never heard of it. I’ve reached out to my nurses multiple times and they aren’t concerned at all. Please calm my nervous mind.
@sleepy33@journey721 I just might. I took a test earlier this week for reassurance and the positive line showed up as soon as it was wet. I’m sure everything is completely fine, but my anxiety just isn’t allowing me to feel okay with it.

Even if everything is fine, if it is something like a SCH, they'll want to monitor it, make sure it's getting smaller, etc.
@mrskoz428 Agreed. A month is too long to wait. I can tell you that in my experience your situation can be nothing at all or it could be a bad sign, but none of us can tell you what is going on in your uterus. I'd call and be more forceful with the nurses and demand an u/s. Tell them that you aren't sleeping because of this and it's causing stress to the baby. That usually works. Worse case, you could try the ER or urgent care- through those doctors tend to have far less training in early pregnancy, so you risk getting a doctor who doesn't know much.
@chloe97 that’s what makes pregnancy so hard! You can’t know what’s going on without imaging or blood work. Again, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, just like they keep saying, but I’d rather not stress about it and just have peace of mind. I’ll just keep nagging and pushing. I’m sure the nurses will be sick of me by the end of all of this!
@mrskoz428 agreed, don’t feel bad about being your own advocate, even if anyone makes you feel silly for it. It’s your baby, of course you’re more worried for it than anyone! I got round ligament pain very early in pregnancy last time and this time again. I had read it doesn’t really start until second tri but a Dr told me that’s what it was. I’m not sure if that’s what you’re feeling but it’s a very intense, sharp, quick pain that is gone as soon as it started but it makes me yelp. I have to brace myself when I cough or sneeze to avoid it.
@DuchessOfCambridge that very well may have been what it was. It was very low and I could have just been feeling it near the cervux because of the “pulse” of pain. It was really shocking! I wasn’t expecting it at all!
@mrskoz428 hmm, I haven’t experienced RLP in my cervical area, more like where this picture is. If it’s your cervix, that does sound more like lightning crotch to me. I haven’t had SCH so I can’t compare but if I were you I’d push to be seen for an ultrasound.
@DuchessOfCambridge it didn’t start there, it just ended there. It was definitely more where that picture was, to start. It just kind of shot down from there.
I had some brown bleeding this afternoon, called the doctor and was able to get an US scheduled for Monday. Since I'm not interested in going to the ER, I'll just have to wait and see what happens this weekend. I've had a MC before and if I'm honest with myself I think that's what's happening. I never had bleeding during my pregnancies with my sons. I just kind of feel empty right now; I'm preparing myself for the worst.
@nopegoat I haven't been very active on the board this week. I was just catching up on all the posts I had neglected and came across yours.
I'm so sorry. I hope everything is ok!

I know that my pregnancy is obviously no bearing on anyone else’s, but I also had brown spotting around 5 weeks for about a 24 hour period. My doctor seemed confident it was probably implantation bleeding (she said it can happen for a few weeks afterward, that if it is unaccompanied by severe cramps or pain and doesn’t get heavier she wasn’t concerned). Last week I had an US to confirm viability (@ 8 weeks) and all was ok. I had never had spotting like that before and it totally freaked me out. Definitely had to advocate for myself with the nurse and say I wanted to be checked sooner rather than later. Sending positive vibes your way to all those in spotting limbo right now.
