Wishing for an answer

A week ago today I started bleeding, the day my parents were coming to visit and the day before I was going to tell them I was almost 7 weeks pregnant. I called my Dr and was told to wait and no more blood for a few hours, then it started again and I've been bleeding since. My DH was out of town and he just told me to tell my parents what was going on since I was telling them I hurt by back and hoping it would be okay so I could tell them in happy way. I'm an only child and I know my mother has been looking forward to grandkids but instead I had to tell them I thought I was having a miscariage.
On Monday I had a lot of clotting and I went to the Doctor and the U/s showed I probably miscarried. I was devastated.

After meeting with the Doctor he told me I probably miscarried but that based off when I had a negative test and then got my positive the week before I might be earlier than I thought and could still have a normal pregnancy. I was told to wait it out. If I got pregnancy symptoms to go back in and they'd check to see if I was pregnant or if the placenta became a molar pregnancy, in which case I would need a D&C.

After all the cramping and bleeding I just wanted an answer so I could know what to try and cope with. Now I'm confused and scared to have hope but still bleeding and in pain... my friend says her Dr could see her baby by 5 weeks and that they should have been able to know and give me a direct answer. I don't feel the same. All of my symtoms are gone, there was far too much blood and clotting and cramping, but it was my first pregnancy so I don't know much. I feel like the Dr telling me to wait and see was just unfair... and has left me more hurt. Does anyone have any sort of experience with this kind of advice?

I don't want to be any kind of bearer of bad news and always listen to your Dr however, your story sounds a lot like mine. I was six weeks and miscarried, I knew by cramping and a lot of dark blood. Your story certainly sounds like a miscarriage but only you and your Dr could know for sure. I can tell you when we confirmed mine it was via a blood test, they can tell if the pregnancy hormone has dropped. They typically like to give it 72 hours between tests to check but in my case we did 24 hours and my levels had dropped by nearly 50%. If you're truly unsure and uncomfortable with your Dr's advice, a blood test would be a viable request here I think.

I hope for only good news for you ❤

Thanks, I read your experience and agree thag sounds a lot like what I'm going through. I took a test and no longer have enough hcg. So I guess I was right. Thanks for your support. I really appreciate it. I hope the best for you as well and for good thing to come.
