Feel Pregnant but Miscarrying?

jmckeag

One more question, did any of you still feel pregnant although you were told you were miscarrying and had several symptoms that you were (i.e. red bleeding, passing blood clots, HCG level rising but not decreasing, no fetal pole found on U/S @ 5 weeks, etc)?

The odd thing is, I never really felt pregnant, just really tired and tender breasts.  Those symptoms have basically subsided, but I feel like I am starting to get nauseated, but no pain or cramping.  Is this another sign of miscarriage?

I do still like im pregnant and it sucks cause i would do anything to reverse the m/c so i could be pregnant again

I had all my pregnancy symptoms until a few days after my D&C. Once the m/c is complete and your hormone levels start to normalize, you will start feeling normal. I actually didn't realize how different I felt while pregnant until my symptoms were gone.

ITA! I had such an easy symptomless pregnancy- I thought. About 2 weeks after delivering Emily, I realized how swollen my boobs had been and how little energy I had while preggers.

Should my bleeding be getting worse, not better?  It has pretty much subsided (and was never heavy enough to require even a pantyliner).  The doctor to me to expect increasingly heavy bleeding until one day (about a half a day) it was really heavy and included cramping, and given that I was about 5-6 weeks and already bleeding she expected this would only take 7-10 days (and actually told me she expected it to happen this weekend).  Is it possible that since I wasn't very far along that my body just doesn't have that much that it has to expel?  I never had the cramping or heavy bleeding that my doctor said would happen.  Does this mean I need a D&C?

I am very sorry for your loss.

I also had a similar situation to yours. I had stopped developing around 5 weeks, but my Dr. called it a Blighted Ovum. I didn't find out this happened until at 11 weeks, though. I still felt all of the pregnancy symptoms, and even do now after two weeks of miscarrying. I still feel nauseas, have certain food aversions and have been very emotional. With my miscarriage I spotted for the first few days, it became like a normal period and then over the weekend had very heavy bleeding. After about a week it stopped entirely and then after about two days started up again even stronger, then went back to spotting after two days or so. I am still spotting. I had my follow-up appointment a few days ago and they said despite the bleeding my body has passed very little and I still have the sac and a large clot surrounding it. I am having a D & C on Tuesday. Like you, my hormones are still staying in the thousands and I am crossing my fingers that this will end soon. This is my story, but everyone is different. The Dr. told me most women will bleed between 1-2 weeks and the flow will vary from time to time. Some women bleed very lightly for only a few days and everything passes, while others bleed very heavily for several and still no sign of stopping. I would just talk to your Dr. if you have any concerns. This is my first miscarriage and the only experience I have personally with this. I do have a friend that has had two chemical pregnancies and she said it was like a normal period, lasted about a week, and was just heavier flow and more intense cramping. I hope that this helps! It sounds like everything you are experiencing is totally normal, though. Just take care of yourself and try to rest your body. Hang in there and we are all here for you!

I'm so sorry you're going through this, it's very frustrating. I had been nauseated from the day of my bfp on and didn't start actually throwing up until the day after my first ultrasound when we knew things weren't looking good (no fetal pole @6w6d). We had the ultrasound because I was spotting and it felt so cruel that my symptoms got worse after that. I continued to feel nauseated until 2 days after my procedure and the sore boobs took about 10 days to go away.

Getting rid of my symptoms fast was the main reason I wanted to have a D&C. My spotting came and went, but I knew it was near enough to pass everything yet and didn't want to wait. Hang in there, I hope it happens naturally for you and it's over quickly. ((HUGS))

I still had pregnancy symptoms for about 4 weeks after my d&c.

One of my biggest signs that I was m/c was that I didn't feel any of the pg symptoms I'd  had (exhaustion, nausea).  That, coupled with spotting that gradually got worse, pretty much let me know.
