@usedtobeknottie try and remember that right now you are pregnant, and try not to think about tomorrow, just breathe and try to settle into right now. Unfortunately, ERs are not great for getting any sort of solid news if you think you might be miscarrying, I recommend waiting for your dr whenever you can unless you are bleeding very heavily and need emergency care. Emergency room priority is just to make sure you are stable then get you to the proper department. They won't have the level of OB training and care your dr does.
And I will add this because it helps my anxiety to remind myself that even if the worst happens I will survive it: Worst case, *IF* you are miscarrying, there is nothing you did to cause it, they just happen. Let yourself grieve and give yourself time to process everything. The pain does not last forever, but you have to let yourself fully feel it. I have had 3 mc and I promise the worst parts do not last forever, you will come out the other side. ❤❤
@artsiefartsie thank you... I passed a large clot last night and still bleeding, but not crazy heavily. Still cramping. Last MC was continuous and heavy so it’s really throwing me off. I warned my husband last night that it would be a long night, but it just didn’t continue how I thought, although I’ve stayed in bed nonstop. My doctors office finally opened and I called, but no one can even talk to me on the phone until noon earliest. It’s been a miserable and devastating few days. I just want 100% confirmation that it’s done because my brain is playing tricks on me and I can’t deal with the roller coaster. Thanks for asking❤️... I was so hoping not to be here.
@usedtobeknottie I'm so sorry. I completely understand the mind game our brains go through with all that, it is awful. I hope that something opens up and the dr can get back to more quickly and you can finally get some answers. Sending you so much love and comfort, I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with this.
Talked to the doctor who ordered bloodwork ASAP and an ultrasound tomorrow. I don’t have bloodwork back yet but have severe cramping and passed something. They believe I am actively miscarrying and so do I. I would say I am out.
I just want to say thank you so much to you amazing ladies. I am thinking of you all and hoping for each and every one of you to have the strong healthy babies you all deserve. It’s been an amazing support system here and I am forever grateful for your positivity and empathy. ❤️
So starting mid morning Ive been having some pink on the tissue when I wiped. I just had my ultrasound yesterday and everything looked fine. I haven't had any cramping. I ran out of my crinone and switched to endometrin that my friend gave me that she had left over from her transfer and it has been causing me some irritation. When I wipe it kind of burns. I can't tell if the pink is from the outside or the inside, but when I did my noon endometrin there was no blood on the suppository insert device, but still pink when I wipe. I'm thinking its just from switching products and having some irritation. I feel silly calling my RE about it. Has anyone thats been on progesterone had similar experiences?
@chartput I hope you don't mind me jumping in here -- it's pretty common for suppositories in general to cause some light spotting and if you feel like it's irritating you, it probably is! Before the miscarriage was diagnosed in my first pregnancy, I actually had zero spotting! Yet with my daughter, I spotted regularly from a few days after transfer to 12 weeks and then it just sorta stopped. I wasn't even on suppositories to boot -- just progesterone shots. My nurse said there is just a ton of fresh blood flow to that area and it's easy for a little irritation to result in a bit of pink or brown blood -- especially if you are on baby aspirin (I was).
It's hard not to freak out about it; I know! I would just call your RE's office for some reassurance and to let them know, but it's likely nothing.

Your cervix could be irritated from both the US and the suppositories. I don’t think it’s uncommon, and I also wouldn’t think your RE would think twice if you phoned them.
@mbradfo2@freakymagoo Thank you for replying! I havent heard back from my RE yet, I wasnt able to call until after they closed. But the spotting seems to have gone away. Im thinking it was the suppositories and probably the ultrasound since it was transvaginal.
@chartput *lurking* How are you doing today? I would think it could definitely be irritation. I spotted on and off until about 10 weeks with my first, (while on PIO / suppositories) some brown and some lighter pink (including the same evening we were about to tell FIL at his birthday party 😬 ) ...and it all still worked out okay :). Fx for you!
@BusinessWife thanks for checking in! No more spotting at all since that first day. My RE nurse agreed it was likely a combo of the change in medication and irritation from the transvaginal ultrasound. I still cant help but check every time I wipe though....damn infertility/loss ptsd.
2 days before my second viability scan and I'm spotting, can only see it when I wipe and maybe TMI but I know my cervix isn't exactly closed like it was before. I did an US at work yesterday and say one wiggly baby, I think baby B has passed. All this walking at work might not be helping either. Idk what I'm going to do if both are lost, was just starting to like the wiggle butt not to mention we bought a car to accommodate an extra family member and now I think we jinxed ourselves.
@MaximumEffort I'm sorry for your loss of Baby B did pass and I really hope that everything works out okay. Keeping everything crossed for you, could you see your doctor tomorrow instead?
@MaximumEffort I’m so sorry you’re going through this. hoping everything works out/is okay and I hope you get to see your doctor soon and get some answers ❤️
@MaximumEffort I'm so sorry you are spotting and going through all this stress. I would definitely call back and see if they can fit you in sooner especially since your cervix doesn't feel closed. My doc has emergency appointments just for stuff like this. Sending all the good vibes. ❤❤
14+3. Saw my midwives today and they couldn’t find the heartbeat. We found it loud and clear at 8 weeks and again at 10 weeks when I was hospitalized, but nothing today. They are trying to schedule an ultrasound ASAP to check bc baby could just be super tucked away/hiding. I’m trying not to think the worst until we can get this ultrasound and know one way or the other but it’s so hard not to be a little freaked out. Yes pregnancy and having HG is so hard but it doesn’t mean I don’t want this little peanut.
@tanyadk oh im keeping FX for good vibes for you. I just had this happen yesterday at my OB at 10+5 and I had found it the day before on my home doppler. They did a quick us and everything was ok. Sometimes they just like to hide and scare the sh** out of us.
@MaximumEffort I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending so much love your way.
thank you everyone for your support. Looks like this is the end of the road for me. Baby didn’t make it. 💔 I’m heartbroken.
I wish you all an uneventful rest of your pregnancies and beautiful healthy babies 💕🙏🏽 Thank you so much for being an incredible sounding board and support system. Even though we don’t know each other it’s been really special to have people who “get it”.

Edit: Sorry, obviously it was a doppler since they are scheduling an ultrasound 🤦♀️ I promise I can read
@MaximumEffort there really aren’t any words except I’m so sorry ❤️ I hope you’re able to take some time for yourself
