Thank you to everyone for your care and concern. I am having a miscarriage (confirmed by bloodwork) and my bleeding started yesterday. I’m feeling okay, but obviously very sad and disappointed. I wish everyone else the best in their pregnancy journey. Thank you again for the support.
@lunamoon24 I’m so sorry for your loss. The best advice I’ve ever gotten over losing a child is that however I feel is valid and okay. Thinking of you.
Just to give a little hope...I had bleeding and cramps throughout my last pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy baby. I was scared every time it started thinking I was loosing my baby. Doc just thought I have a vascular cervix. Hang in there ladies!
@lunamoon24, I'm so sorry for your loss. If you need it, I hope you seek support, maybe even on these boards. The Loss/PGAL community here really helped me after my first loss.

Well, I’m putting this here because I don’t know where else to put it. I had my first OB appointment today and it looks like I’m miscarrying. I am measuring two weeks behind and they couldn’t find a heartbeat. Also my uterus is tilted weird so they had trouble finding ANYTHING. I was there for an excruciating 3 hours, my OB is amazing and was so sweet with me. She did say there’s a chance development is just slow and everything could be fine, but I’m not holding out much hope. I’m measuring 6 weeks and should be 8+4 going off of last period. I am supposed to go back for another U/S next week sometime so they can look again, but in the meantime I’ll be trying to decide what steps to take if everything plays out the way it seems. I feel like I jinxed myself by getting so wrapped up in it all so early! But at the same time, I know I had no reason to expect anything to go wrong. I will keep you all updated as I know more, but I just want you to know how much I appreciate you all even for this short time. I wish you all healthy and happy pregnancies! ❤️❤️❤️
@schlecks I’m so sorry. I hope for a miracle for you but if you decide to have surgery, my miscarriage with surgery was the easiest physically to recover from. I hope it doesn’t come to that. ♥️ thinking of you.
@shlecks I am so sorry you're going through this. I'm sure the next week is going to be very tough for you. Hang in there.

@shlecks I'm so sorry that you are dealing with that. I'll be thinking of you this week and hoping for a positive outcome. I hope you don't regret getting wrapped up in it early, even if it makes the let down of a (potential) loss harder. At least you basked fully in your pregnancy glory while you could and that's something to treasure.
@shlecks So so sorry to hear this news. Once after an early loss I got pregnant the very next month, so there could be good news again soon. Sending a virtual hug to you.
Had three spotting scares... one on 6w6d, a day after my last ultrasound. Saw super light pink spotting of about 2 quarters in size. Then on 7w2d and 7w4d (yesterday) I saw the lightest brown/orange spotting on my pantyliner, with some mild cramps going on and off throughout the day. My RE said spotting is normal and happens in about half of their cases. I am nervously waiting for the ultrasound scan tomorrow...
Good luck at your scan tomorrow @pom9207 ! Fingers crossed everything goes well!!!

Thanks ladies for your support! Went back from my U/S; baby is fine with a heartbeat of 161bpm. Dr said some spotting and light cramping is totally normal.
Wonderful news @pom9207! And congrats on graduating!! After 14 months, today was my last appointment at my fertility clinic too. I was worried I wasn't going to leave with a pregnancy but here I am heading to an OB.
So I’m noticing some dark red/brown discharge when I wipe yesterday and today. It’s very minimal and not every time I use the bathroom. I had my first u/s on Wed and everything was fine. Measured correctly(9+1), HB normal. But now this. Dr did notice a “decent sized” fibroid but didn’t seem concerned. She also did a Pap smear but not sure if the discharge can be from that days later? It’s holiday wknd so I don’t want to call on call service unless totally necessary but not sure if it’s normal or not either. Thoughts?
@roadspeckle hi! It stopped after day two 🤷🏻♀️ So hopefully things are ok. My next appt is for 12w testing so we’ll see. Thanks for checking in!! ❤️❤️
