  • I’m going to be leaving the group as I am experiencing a miscarriage. I wish you all a healthy and safe pregnancy; enjoy every moment growing your precious babies.

  • @andrea3o I’m so sorry for your loss. 
  • I’ve got a little light pink spotting all of a sudden tonight. I’m not worried; my blood work has all come back more than doubling (went from 43 on Saturday to 220 yesterday), but I still get anxious. After a CP in 2022, I hate spotting. 
  • I paid for a hcg quantitative test and I don’t think this pregnancy is viable. It was only 14. For being 5 weeks that’s low. I have an OBGYN appointment tomorrow and I’m sure they’ll order a second test 
  • @andrea3o I’m so sorry 😞 

    @leylea89 oh no! Let’s just hope your dates are off. That’s so scary. 
  • Thanks. Sorry your spotting scares you. I spotted with my son and while I’ve had chemicals and other pregnancy losses, i never had that light spotting with any of them. 
  • My pregnancy test is negative and I’m cramping real bad. Pretty sure this is the end for me. Good luck to everyone else
  • @leylea89 oh I’m so sorry 😞 take care of yourself!

    Hello, I am new here and had a question.

    I went for my annual Pap smear and found out I was pregnant. Going by my LMP I am 2.5 weeks (didn’t even know you can find out so soon.)…I had a trans vag ultrasound but it showed nothing. My HCG level was 292 on Monday and on Weds it was 163…this means I will probably miscarry? My doctor said things look good so I am confused.
  • Hcg dropping is definitely not a good sign. I’m not sure why they would do an ultrasound that soon… you can’t see anything that early anyways. My first isn’t until the day before thanksgiving if I make it. I’m still spotting after 3 days… my confidence is a bit shaken. 
  • I think I’m out friends. I passed a pea sized clot this morning after dark red spotting last night. Now I’m starting into bleeding. Still no cramping, but I’m sure that’s next. Best of luck to you all! 
  • I came back to check on you. I’m so sorry @ejoseph16
  • Hi All,

    This is my first pregnancy. I am halfway through my 5th week, noticed very light spotting Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, (had a clinic confirm pregnancy through urine test Wednesday). Today I woke up with bright red spotting, but no pain and stopped before the morning was over. I spoke with my nurse and she didn’t seem concerned, but I am still feeling uneasy. If anyone has any tips to ease the worry I would love the advice.
  • Went for my first appointment today, LMP was 9/21 (should be 8 weeks)
    Baby is measuring 5w5 days on ultrasound, didn’t see a heartbeat yet.
    Had quantitative HCG drawn today & going back Monday for a repeat. Anyone been through some similar & can give me reassurance? I am a wreck. I don’t want to lose my baby 😭❤️

  • @ knottie582b90b107f8dbd a similar thing is happening with me. I went on Monday for ultrasound and was supposed to be 7 weeks but measuring 5 weeks 6 days with a low heart rate. I have to go back on the 27th for a follow up ultrasound. I have been spotting a little bit though so I’m pretty worried. 
  • Going just by lmp would put all my pregnancies off by over a week. I normally ovulate on cd 22 not cd 14 which is what going by your lmp would align with. 

    My fist kid they told me I would miscarry there was no hb and at 6 weeks I should have one. Cake back the next week and it was there. Hold out hope especially if you might ovulate later than cd 14. 
  • I should be 6w6d today. Had u/s Monday at 6w4d and embryo was seen but doc said it was very small and only looked about 6 weeks. She did not take any measurements on the ultrasound, so I’m not sure how she deemed that, maybe visual. Was a slight heartbeat she said but another doctor came in and said “probably won’t end up being anything”. I’m following up again for u/s Monday 11/27 but I don’t really like how cold they were about this. I’m an older mom so I guess they’re just assuming it will miscarry.
  • If you're pregnancy continues. Please get another doctor. I had a doctor casually tell me that my pregnancy was a molar one and to get blood work done. Two days later water the second blood draw I went back and he told me he was scheduling me for a d&c for the next day first this in the morning, he was sending my scans to another hospital for a second opinion but wanted me booked as he's 99.9% sure it's molar and needs to be taken care of. Big hospital called and said don't do the d&c until I met with them.... My baby is 3.5 years old, I can't believe he almost made me terminate my child.

    I'm sorry, I don't know how to post pictures on this board. I am 5w1d along and had a couple of small small brown spots in my underwear. I wiped and this was the result. Should I be worried? My doctor's office is closed until Monday.

  • Spotting can be normal with implanting... If there's not a lot of red blood or cramping you should be ok. I know it's really hard not to worry. Spotting after sex is also something that happens especially if you have a sensitive cervix. 
  • I had very very mild cramps. About two hours after I posted I went to bathroom and wiped a large clot away. I think I miscarried. I’ve been bleeding since then and had another large clot come out. I took a pregnancy test and the line is now barely visible. Urgent care wouldn’t do anything, so I have to wait until Monday to talk to my doctor. 99.9% it’s over though.

    Hope you all continue to have healthy pregnancies.
