Just started experiencing lower back pain. I’m hoping it’s from bad posture and not another miscarriage. I had two miscarriages last year and they started with back pain.
@pregnantinthepnw I’m sorry you’re feeling scared right now. It’s so understandable. But also back pain is a normal pregnancy symptom too. Isn’t it fucked up how all different symptoms can be encouraging and scary? Ugh. Sending you love!
I haven’t formally made in introduction yet, because I’m not ready to get too attached. Thursday we had to put our cat down suddenly because he became so sick. It was so unexpected. He was like an emotional support pet for me and had got me through so much. He was special and gave me affection on my bad days. Thursday evening after finishing at the vet, I came home to light spotting. Since then, the spotting has gotten heavier and more brown. I don’t even think it’s considered spotting anymore, but heavy discharge. At night, it tends to turn a little more red. However, it stays brown throughout the day and is now accompanied with cramping. I’ve got my first appt. Scheduled for 11/29(I’ll be 12 weeks). I’ve called the nurse triage line twice to see if they could get me in and see what’s happening. They refused to, and said it’s because they have no record of my pregnancy…well, duh because they won’t see me until I’m almost 12 weeks. Honestly, that doesn’t make any sense to me. They told me I need to go to the e.r. If I want to confirm that I have miscarried or not, or to be seen and checked on. Yesterday I went on day 4 of the heavy discharge. Thankfully they were able to locate the baby in the uterus and find a heart beat of 104(low, but I know it’s normal this early on). Hcg was at 15,000. Unfortunately, they can’t find any reason as to why the discharge is happening. Now I’m on on day 5 and there’s been no changes. All of this is putting me in such a bad place mentally.
My heart feels lost. I feel like I can’t turn my thoughts off. I miss my cat so much and I don’t have him here for comfort. I know that this is now a threatened MC so I’m trying not to get too attached because my heart can’t take another loss right now. I’m preparing for the worst even though everything looks good yesterday. Today is also my DH and I anniversary and I don’t want to do anything but lay down all day and rest. However I have 2 kids already who need me right now and DH can’t take anymore time off until Christmas time.
Today I’m going to try and switch providers because I am not happy with their protocols for things like this. Also having my first appt. be at 12 weeks vs. 8weeks is strange to me too. I was just expected to wait an entire month to be seen and to determine if something was wrong. We have moved states since the birth of my youngest child, and I’m struggling to find a doctor that I like. All of this just really sucks right now and I can’t wait to feel better again. I just want to get back to the happy feelings and not worrying all the time.
*sorry this was so long. It’s been rough. I also changed my username but it doesn’t look like it went though yet.
I went in for my 8w ultrasound yesterday and the baby measured at 6w and they didn’t find a heartbeat (which they said is normal for 6w). They want me to come in again in a week to check again. 2 weeks seems like a long time off especially because I had taken an ovulation test and it lined up with when I expected it to. This is going to be a long week and I am not very hopeful
I don’t know how or if it’s possible to add a photo. I was 4 weeks 5 days yesterday and I started bleeding light. Today it’s more like my usual period but I am still testing positive and on both digital and not digital. I had a pregnancy confirmation appointment set for tomorrow. It takes me a 3 hour round trip drive to see the ob. Should I still go? Even if I am having a chemical pregnancy? Not sure if there is a point in going. This is only my second pregnancy my first being when I was 16, 16 years ago.
@maddmama Had my follow up appt today 8w3d got an US done still the same no heartbeat since last appt so It is confirmed I am having a MC I have a D&C scheduled for Friday sooooo not the news I wanted to hear but I wish all you mamas well and great pregnancies for you all ❤️
@misscarter87 I'm so sorry. 💔 I wish nobody had to experience a miscarriage. Sending virtual care your way and I hope the D&C is as smooth as it can be.
@kalesix3 thank you i had been praying and hoping for good news at this upcoming appt and just thinking positive and that just maybe it was because I wasnt as far along yet that why they werent detecting a heartbeat at my last US at 6w 4d so I had positive thinking about today now that I was further along but when I look at the US I was saddened.
Found out I was pregnant last week Monday, but I've been having brown discharge (very heavy) and some light red- dark brown when I wipe. It's been 16 days since it started.. I lost my last pregnant at almost 6 weeks due to these very similar symptoms. I'm praying soo hard abd trying to trust God with this baby, but this non-stop spotting has my anxiety levels at their highest💔😭. Going to check what's going on tomorrow morning.
I'm currently 6w 3d and started experiencing light bleeding yesterday. It got a bit heavier in the afternoon, so my husband and I went to the ER. After a transvaginal ultrasound and 13 different tests, they confirmed that there's a gestational sac and a yolk sac. No heartbeat or embryo detected yet but he said that's relatively normal for such an early ultrasound. I have my next appointment scheduled at my obgyn for Nov. 1 but I'm so anxious about the bleeding. I literally can't think about anything else.
My sister in law is a NICU nurse. When I sent her the pictures of what I feel like is heavy bleeding, she said that it's just light bleeding and I shouldn't worry unless I'm soaking through a pad every hour or two.
Has anyone had consistent bleeding and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy? I know there's nothing I can do to prevent a miscarriage, but not knowing is so hard 😔
Just started experiencing light brown discharge and very mild cramping. This didn’t happen with my daughter. But it did happen with my 2 miscarriages last year. I’m getting very nervous. 7 weeks today. We already told my 4 year old daughter the news of her baby sibling.
I'm currently 6 going on 7wks tommorow.Yesterday I wiped and had some bright red spotting yesterday in the morning I keep going and none no more I'm thinking it might be more of a uti and unsure since I go to restroom and have not seen any more should I consider going to er truly never had this happen before
Update: Another trip to another E.r today. I have now definitely miscarried. I have been saturating pads and having intense cramping with big clots. I Just had an ultrasound and there was no longer any sign of pregnancy and my hcg has dropped from 15,000 to 10,000. Now I’m sitting in the e.r hooked up to fluids because I’m losing a lot of blood. So this is my goodbye and I wish everyone the best. ❤️
Update; We were able to schedule an emergency appointment at my obgyn yesterday to get my HCG levels checked. I won't get the results until sometime today. Yay, more waiting.
I'm still bleeding bright red, but it's really only when I wipe. Occasionally a little bit drips onto the pad. There are little clumps of coagulated blood, but they aren't large at all. More like little tiny period clumps than anything else. Praying that my baby is still okay 😔
The doctor wants to run one more blood test, but the nurse says that a significant drop in HCG levels like this is most likely indicative of a miscarriage.

@koalacuddles I hope you get a definite answer soon. Thinking of you!
