I think I'm out (TW) - updated with GOOD news

UPDATED: I got an ultrasound today and there was a heartbeat. I'm still in disbelief and there are some unanswered questions, but I appear to still be pregnant! I can't believe it. My heart reaches out to all of you who have gone through pregnancy loss. AND I want to thank all of you for your support when we're not in the position to tell our friends & family about the pregnancy yet. I love the stranger love!

Hi all, 

This evening I started had some bright red blood and it's coming pretty steadily.

The timing is also very bad because a big stressful thing happened in my family yesterday (when I was definitely feeling pregnancy symptoms) and when that subsided today a bit, the bleeding and cramping started with in an hour or two. I read about stress-induced miscarriage as a thing but I know in my heart that is extremely unlikely the cause, also with the timeline (I'd think it would take longer to have an impact.) Maybe it just sucks to have both things happening at the same time.

I called the practice I chose where I'm not even a patient yet but they are willing to have me in anyway to do all of the blood draws, etc to see this through. 

Poor DH is really upset, more so than I am (though I'm sad, too!) But we are a great team. I'm more upset about the other stressor but that is also something we'll be tackling together as well.

I'll confirm later in the week one way or another, but you can consider this my initial goodbye. Best of luck to all of you ladies!

  • Update -- just had my blood drawn. So no real update yet. They messed with me by trying to tell me reasons why I'd have this bleeding and still be pregnant (and of course the bleeding stopped last night, incidentally), but I've been pregnant before and this just feels wrong and off. I'll let you guys know what they say in a few days.

  • So sorry you are going through this!!! I started bleeding on Saturday and after just having 3 losses in a row was certain it was another miscarriage. Called my ob office that night because I need rhogam and she suggested coming in for an ultrasound on Monday (today). I was expecting the worst. Ultrasound tech said baby has a heartbeat...I was in such shock I didn't even ask what it was! My original appt is for next week so we are going to keep that and see how baby is doing at that point. Trying to stay positive but I just don't even know what to think
  • Wow @m3ganmc that is great news and I hope that you make it all of the way through! I do realize that since my bleeding hasn't come back this might be a false alarm afterall, but it just feels so different now that I can't have my hopes up (I really don't have my other symptoms anymore either, and I am feeling something that you could call cramping.)

  • The fact that you stopped bleeding is great. I hope you hear back with the result soon. I started bleeding at 5+5 back in May and my hcg was already down to 13 that afternoon if thats any help, knowing it was so low already.

    I hope youre able to relax in the meantime 


  • I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! Hopefully it is a good sign that the bleeding has stopped!

    That is interesting, because I peed on a stick today and the HCG was still strong enough for a really solid line (just as solid as the previous one I had done a few days / week prior; basically as strong as the lines get, and certainly more than what "13" would yield). I'm still not feeling symptoms at all, though. But also no more blood! I'll wait and see what the results show. They offered a prescription for an ultrasound off-site but I don't mind waiting and seeing what the result is. ugh I just felt another crampy feeling while typing this. I really do think I'm out and this just might be a long process to complete, which is too bad because our age gap is already big. Trying again might not fit within the timeline we had in mind originally.

  • I am so very sorry you are going through this. The waiting game is the worst part and the so many what-ifs. I hope that it is a false alarm for you. 






  • @kat81 I have my fingers crossed for you!!
  • @kat81 I hope it turns out ok! Like your dr's office said there are other possible reasons for bleeding in pregnancy that don't mean impending miscarriage so I really hope that is true for you.  Sending good vibes your way that this baby sticks around
