i'm pretty sure i'm having a miscarriage. i've been spotting, but now i'm really crampy and i can't stop crying.
so what can i expect? my obgyn's office closes at 2 on friday's and i don't know that i need the on call doctor.
so is it jut feeling like a really crappy period? it's still early, they had me measuring at 6 week when I went in earlier this week.
do i still go in for blood work tomorrow (the second draw to check levels)
ugh. f;klasdk;asdfjkh
Re: screw it.
I'm so so sorry. For me, it was just like a heavier period, but shorter. I had to go in twice, a few days apart, to check my levels and make sure they were going down. They also checked to make sure it wasn't ectopic, but if you already had an ultrasound, that probably wouldn't apply.
Big huge hugs to you.
Oh sweetie **hugs** If it were me, I would at least call the on call doctor and go in for the blood draw tomorrow. I had a cramping/spotting combo with two of my pgs, one turned out bad and one turned out good (Griffin).
If you want to talk, please don't hesitate to message me.
**more hugs**

I'm so, so sorry.
It doesn't hurt AT ALL to call the on-call doctor - that's what they're there for.
For me, it was just a super-heavy period. It lasted about the normal length of time for me (8 or 9 days) but I have crazy long periods normally.
Lots of hugs!!!

I would call the oncall doctor, just in case. I've never had an "active" m/c, just a missed one and an ectopic, so I am no help.
I'm so sorry.

I had some spotting that became heavier and turned into what felt like a regular period. My dr had me come in to confirm, then they wanted to keep checking to make sure my levels were going down.

That sucks! I'm sorry. Not to give you false hope, but I had the same thing happen at 6 weeks and it turned out not to be a miscarriage.
Best of luck!
I'm sorry and wish you weren't in this situation.
I can't help you with what to expect. I had a missed miscarriage, so the baby had stopped growing several days earlier. I had a D&C without any bleeding or cramping beforehand. The D&C was very easy physically (if you have to go that route).
I, too, am so so sorry. I agree that it doesn't hurt to call the on-call OB. My two m/cs were like heavy periods. If that's what it is, there isn't a lot they can do. It's one of the worst feelings in the world, I know. Please know you are in my prayers! (((hugs)))
thanks everyone.
I called the dr office and they routed me to the on call dr.
I went in and they did an ultrasound and yeah, empty ute. He said it shouldn't take more than a day or two and to go ahead and get my blood drawn again tomorrow.
I haven't felt so comfortable with any of the other doctors I've seen here. He was super comforting. I think I'm going to change to his office. So maybe something good has come of it
It's also easier knowing the gestational sac had been empty two days ago.
Thanks so much for your warm thoughts and good wishes everyone!
