Unfortunately, it looks like my fears came true and I'll be leaving the group too. I started having bright red blood yesterday and my already low levels are decreasing. It's been a really tough couple of days, but I know it'll get easier as time passes.
Now the ER doctor is saying that my drop wasn't enough to fully say miscarriage (500 points seems a lot to me) and so she wants an ultrasound at the end of next week and a followup with my doctor. She said "the pregnancy could be trying to decide if it wants to grow" I want to have hope but at this point I just find it cruel. My intuition has been saying something was wrong from the start. It's just too much blood, tissue and cramping.
I have been exactly where you are. It is lonely and isolating and the loss of autonomy over your body and loss of trust in what your body should be able to do is devastating.
Be kind to yourself and take all the time you need to grieve your loss ❤️
I started spotting light pink yesterday (6w5d) and I went to the ER immediately because I freaked out. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I've only had one successful pregnancy. My second pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. When I got to the ER the spotting had stopped. They checked my HCG levels (which were elevated) and also did an ultrasound (saw the flicker of baby's heart) and everything seemed to check out but they asked for me to do a follow up with my OB. Now today, the blood is brown. I'm just really scared that this will end up being another failed pregnancy. If there are any praying mamas, please keep me in your prayers.
@knottie908b246a67882a1f Spotting around 6 to 7 weeks is very common and totally normal. If you saw the baby and the heartbeat was good then I'm sure everything is fine ❤ Hopefully your OB will give you some reassurance at your follow up. Brown blood is old blood so that's a good sign!
I had a gush of bright red blood yesterday afternoon. There were clots in it. I called my midwife and she didn't give me a lot of hope. But I have an ultrasound either today or tomorrow (trying to get it rescheduled) so we'll see. The bleeding stopped and hasn't come back in the last 12 hours, so I'm not really sure what to think right now.
@jessier19 Oh no! I'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope you can get in for that ultrasound today and that everything is fine. Thinking of you and sending all positive thoughts your way ❤

Wishing you all happy and healthy pregnancies!
I'm so sorry. Wishing you both the best.

@Katek819 I’m so sorry you are going through this, and hope that you can get some answers at your next ultrasound.
@Katek819 That ambiguity does sound cruel, I'm sorry and I hope things become clear asap!
@karisahamdi I'm so sorry. Definitely take as much time as you need to process and recover.
